Climate refugees? Really?

The desperation is palpable. As the public continues to reject the hysterical climate alarmism of the Green-Left, especially in connection with the current bushfires, the Silly Moaning Herald jumps the shark with this utter nonsense:

‘Australia’s first climate change refugees’

Standing on the waterfront at Mallacoota on Friday morning, waiting with his wife and 10-year-old son to board a tender that would take them out to HMAS Choules offshore, Nick Ritar had time to ponder the utter strangeness of what was unfolding in the normally idyllic beach town just south of the NSW border.

“We are Australia’s first climate refugees,” he told the Herald by phone from the wharf, where groups of holidaymakers were being bused down from the local cinema. (source, backup [PDF] for when it gets posted down the memory hole)

Keep going! All this will do is further alienate the silent majority from climate alarmism…

Moronic

Dear Greens,

We know that you’re a bit intellectually challenged, but before you make another disgusting, opportunistic remark about the bushfires being linked to “lack of action on climate change”, there are two important lessons you need to learn:

1. The climate is global not local. I know this is so basic it’s almost embarrassing to have to explain it, but you are obviously too stupid to have understood. Nothing we do in Australia will affect the Australian climate. Go and protest in China or India instead.
2. Bushfires aren’t linked to climate change. Even the experts say this, but you are so desperate to push your cynical agenda you don’t care about that. They are more linked to a failure of bush management and controlled burns, things that have been consistently opposed by, er, the Greens.

You are a bunch of morons. Go away.

Yours sincerely,

Australian Climate Madness

Verging on child abuse…

Most of the deluded kids on the climate “strikes” last week didn’t have a clue why they were there.

Enthusiastically cheered on by the mainstream media, it was a cheeky bludge off school and all they were doing was trying to “save the planet” right?

No of course not. These gullible kids are being exploited by all kinds of extreme-Left and anti-capitalist groups in order to bring about a wholesale societal change, using our children as their innocent pawns.

The website for the strikes refers to the need for “climate justice” which we all know is code for wealth redistribution from rich countries to poor, and an excuse for the usurping of normal democratic processes.

And as we no longer educate children to think for themselves, you can bet this brainwashing will last decades – possibly their entire lives.

Shameful.

The Conversation has always been heavily behind the alarmist side of the climate debate, and has featured in this blog many times in the past.

Now however it has taken the extraordinary step of banning any dissenting views on climate:

Climate change deniers, and those shamelessly peddling pseudoscience and misinformation, are perpetuating ideas that will ultimately destroy the planet. As a publisher, giving them a voice on our site contributes to a stalled public discourse.

That’s why the editorial team in Australia is implementing a zero-tolerance approach to moderating climate change deniers, and sceptics. Not only will we be removing their comments, we’ll be locking their accounts.

There is a huge range of dissenting opinion, from outright “denial” to educated and careful scientific critique, but we can be sure that The Conversation will interpret the ban as widely as possible so that nothing disrupts the desired consensus viewpoint. No doubt will be allowed.

The Catholic Church had the same idea when they sentenced Galileo to house arrest for “falsely” claiming the Earth orbited the Sun. Look how that worked out…

We really haven’t come that far since the 1600s.
