Doomed Planet

Exaggerations unfounded

by David Evans & Bob Carter

March 30, 2011

New, frightening predictions from the Climate Commission are based on the same old and faulty climate models. Only the exaggerations are new. 

"Without the CO2 we’d all be dead"

by Cliff Ollier

March 29, 2011

I heard some of the speeches at the rallies and thought them a bit technical. I think we need simpler messages, so to give it a go I wrote the following poem – a bit of doggerel to re-inforce just one point.

Climate Commission shirks debate

by Bob Carter

March 27, 2011

Australia’s Climate Commissioners are simply peddling long discredited arguments about global warming that have been made for 15 years by the IPCC, all of which are carefully crafted to demonize human CO₂ emissions. Most of these arguments carry a political overtone, and most are espoused also by Australia’s current government.

Wind policy failures

by Max Rheese

March 24, 2011

The attitude within government and the bureaucracy to wind farm complaints has been characterised succinctly, with adversely affected persons within rural communities explicitly referred to as political “road kill”.

The stolen election

by Walter Starck

March 23, 2011

Gillard’s promise of no carbon tax effectively removed this issue from the election debate. Without this promise it seems certain that the close balance of votes would have favoured the opposition. The attempt to now impose a carbon tax makes it difficult to perceive the promise of no tax as other than a deliberate lie calculated to deceive voters. 

Going green costs jobs

by Mark Lawson

March 22, 2011

Wind energy and all the alternative energy projects are largely a waste of time. They are very expensive, they do not save carbon at anything like the levels claimed by wind advocates, and will cost jobs. 

Selling climate doom

by Garth Paltridge

March 16, 2011

Professor Garnaut seems completely sold on the idea that only scientists directly within the global-warming research community can give authoritative advice on climate change.

Carbon facts in freefall

by Tom Quirk

March 16, 2011

Both Greg Combet and Bob Brown have been stressing how far China is ahead of Australia with carbon pricing. Brown quoted $15 a tonne of carbon dioxide while Combet was more modest at $8.

Expensive "free energy"

by Mark Lawson

March 15, 2011

For a free energy source wind promises to be extremely expensive to harness, but just how expensive is impossible to say with any real accuracy.

Alan Jones talks to Bob Carter

Alan Jones speaks with Bob Carter about the new Gillard-Brown CO₂ Tax.

Global warming: 10 little facts

by Bob Carter

March 14, 2011

It is a blight on Australian society that an incumbent government, and the great majority of media reporters and commentators, continue to propagate these scientific and social inanities.

Robyn Williams's Quadrant secret

Where's Julia?

by Ben-Peter Terpstra

March 12, 2011

I’m just back from the No Carbon Tax Rally outside Julia Gillard’s energy-hungry office.

The when and where of wind

by Mark Lawson

March 7, 2011

Transmission lines have to be built to distant wind farms but built to take full output, for when the generators are operating at full tilt, and not the average. It is akin to building super highways to a remote town to handle traffic that, for most of the time, is at the volume found on a suburban road. This is an enormous, additional expense.

Helmut Schmidt calls for IPCC inquiry

by Bob Carter

March 7, 2011

Helmut Schmidt, the respected former Chancellor of Germany, has told an audience at the Max-Plank-Gesellschaft that a full inquiry needs to be held into the credibility of advice on global warming that stems from the UN’s IPCC.

Coalition Climate Change Committee?

by Peter Smith

March 3, 2011

Conservative politicians need to have the integrity and courage to reopen the climate change debate at its very source, including by exposing and dismantling the self-evident scam that the science is settled. Perhaps the Coalition could start by establishing its own climate change committee.

Hot air tax

by John Mikkelsen

March 3, 2011

Then there is the strange timing of the carbon tax plan’s announcement. If there were any thoughts the media’s focus on the tragedy in Christchurch would divert attention from the broken promise, that was a bad miscalculation.

Bob Carter interview

March 2, 2011

Bob Carter’s calls for action against Gillard’s carbon dioxide tax, published in Doomed Planet, have flashed around the world. Listen to him in this interview with Chris Smith.

Blowing away money

by Mark Lawson

March 1, 2011

Governments like wind generators because they are very visible symbols that they are doing something about the green concerns of voters, and they don’t have to raise taxes to pay for them. Voters pay through increased electricity prices.

Shhsshh … don’t talk about the science

by Bob Carter

February 28, 2011

A broken election promise of some magnitude and a stupid policy provoked an immediate blizzard of public criticism and resistance. Yet, after almost 4 days of saturation press coverage, not a single mainstream media commentator appears to have discussed the real issue at hand.
