The Biggest Public Policy Disaster in a Lifetime

There is no climate crisis but a crisis in public policy. This has already cost taxpayers and consumers hundreds of billions of dollars and that bill keeps rising -- good for the rent-seekers gaming the system, but a curse on the rest of us right now and, unless this madness is stopped, a catastrophe for generations of Australians to come

Christmas Books: Ian Plimer

Over the last few months, I have twice read Bob Carter’sClimate: The Counter Consensus. It is a far better book than myHeaven and Earth. Carter’s science is readable and totally demolishes the ideological paradigm that humans can create a climate catastrophe.

I attended the Copenhagen Climate Challenge Conference. It was about the science of climate. Speakers were scientists, lawyers and environmentalists.

Creating catastrophe

It is claimed that there is a scientific consensus about human-induced climate change. Consensus is a process of politics not science. There is certainly no scientific consensus about human-induced climate change and the loudest voice does not win scientific discussions. Science is married to evidence, no matter how uncomfortable.

ETS Forum – It’s all in the rocks

There is no direct, real world evidence for dangerous human-caused warming at all, and that despite the efforts of thousands of scientists and organisations since 1990, and the expenditure of approaching $100 billion, looking for precisely such evidence. Instead, the global warming scare is built entirely around unvalidated computer climate models that are known to be wrong.

At Easter, my book on climate change comes out. I destroy every single argument that has ever been raised about human-induced climate change.
