By Alan Caruba ~ Most of the people of the world have concluded that the decades of warnings about “global warming” and its successor, “climate change”, is just idiotic nonsense. Few believe that humans ever had or ever will have any role in what the weather will be tomorrow or a thousand years from now. […]

By Dr. Kelvin Kemm. PhD ~ The COP-18 environmental conference held in Doha has come and gone. In the wake of high expectations for a successor treaty, the Kyoto Protocol was extended, but only after bitter debate – and several countries have withdrawn from the process or signalled their intent to do so. Moreover, many […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ Remember Climate Change Minister Greg Combet’s mendacious and deceitful spin last year about the rest of the world matching Australia’s insane sacrifices to “stop” a global warming that actually paused 16 years ago?: AUSTRALIA plans to join Europe in a renewed and binding pledge to reduce emissions under the Kyoto treaty, […]

By Steven Groves ~ If the U.S. reverses its 30-year policy and joins the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), it will certainly be exposed to climate change lawsuits in the tribunals established by the convention, as detailed in a new Heritage Foundation Backgrounder, “Accession to U.N. Convention on the Law of […]

By Andrew Bolt Greg Sheridan is right, of course: Although the carbon tax will cost Australians $9 billion in its first year, our greenhouse emissions continue to rise under the tax. We hit our target of a 5 per cent reduction mainly by buying carbon credits on the international market, which the government assumes will […]

When I started to contribute at this site in March of 2008, the first Posts I submitted were about the Kyoto Protocol. It was meant to be a short Series, but it morphed into more than 50 separate Posts over 15 weeks, and that started me off here. I was concerned that this might ‘tap […]

By David Rothbard and Craig Rucker As the UN wrapped up its recent climate conference in Bonn, Germany, talks organizer Christiana Figueres proclaimed that climate change is the “the most important negotiation the world has ever faced.” Faced with real problems – financial meltdowns, unemployment, war and genuine human suffering – the world no longer […]

By Andrew Bolt Which makes it even crazier for Australia to slash its own emissions, unilaterally: AUSTRALIA’S mining industry has seized on the refusal of three major economies to sign on to a new round of Kyoto Protocol emissions cuts, as Tony Abbott warned even a business-endorsed $10-a-tonne carbon price would cost jobs. Russia, Japan […]

By Andrew Bolt The great emissions-slashing scam is just a way of shifting jobs from the West to the East, while doing not a cracker for the climate: Cuts in carbon emissions by developed countries since 1990 have been cancelled out many times over by increases in imported goods from developing countries such as China, […]

UPDATE 2012. This series is now more than three years old, and while nearly all the information is generic and still current, what is not current is the Post dealing with costings. This Post was based around information available at the time, almost four years old now, and that information changes quite regularly, so constantly […]

By Andrew Bolt New Zealand Prime Minister John Key had it right the first time, in 2005: I rise on behalf of the National Party to give the good news to the people of New Zealand—that is, the Climate Change Response Amendment Bill is a load of rubbish and the National Party will not be […]

By Andrew Bolt New Zealand discovers what a useless and corrupt rort an emissions trading scheme really is: New Zealand’s failure to cut greenhouse gas emissions has left taxpayers staring down the barrel of a Kyoto Protocol liability of at least $1 billion and possibly more than $5 billion, according to a book analysing National’s […]
