COP27 attendees are like ‘truffle hogs’ sniffing out the money – 4 Mins 42 Secs
Sky News host Gary Hardgrave says the people attending the COP27 are following the money there like “truffle hogs they are sniffing it out” and Australians are going to pay for it.
A new climate policy will be brought in for first-world countries to pay for climate change damage to developing countries.
“We are simply going to be paying more for electricity – no doubt we are going to be paying more taxes and charges,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“This is just complete madness.”

Our ‘UN compliant’ wackers will be only too happy to send squillions of our hardearned to the unfortunates.

There are only two options, adaption and mitigation. The less mitigation, the more adaption is required and poorer countries tend to be in the least resilient parts of the world. Morally, we have a duty to help pay for that.
563
There is only one option, adaptation, we can forget mitigation because CO2 doesn’t cause global warming. Adaptation to global cooling is unthinkable from your perspective, you need to get out more.
Australia has generally supported the poor islanders in our neighbourhood, can’t do better than that.
370
How about just living and improving and stop pretending anything unusual is going on.
430
No, we don’t have a moral duty to help pay for something that is not happening. If you think that feathering the nests of a few who do benefit in these countries you pay for it. Moral duty! Bah!
410
The lad knows not: even hyenas exhibit ‘morals’; Western Ethic – no unlawful seizure of property.

How many can you fit in your backyard. ?

What’s the basis for this moral obligation? A natural right for equality of climate resilience?
190
Mr. G: Good pick up, when the lefty says “morally”, he forgets that “moral” is some sort of white construct, to be pitched with all the other “bigotry” perceived by lefties. Simon is free to answer your question, what is the root of left wing morality?
40
Simon, there is one other option, and it mostly promoted on sites like this one. It is not supported by science, but does have a lot of adherents

So what “science” do you profess to here? We have the alarmist cause, propped up by “garbage in garbage out” climate models, which attacks and demonises any who question its inherently questionable theses, or we have those here and elsewhere who actually look at the data past and present and simply cannot see the “climate catastrophy” at all. I would far rather look at the actual temperatures and listen to real scientists, prepared to risk reputation to tell the truth, rather than those who push data homogenised out of existence, fraudulent graphs which do not represent the base data they come from, and feel they have to follow the “in crowd” and are driven solely by rivers of grant money made available to any who adhere to the alarmist clause.
Yes it is comfortable repeating “safe and effective” because a bureaucrat with no evidence at all to base this on told you, but it does not make it right.
141
What do you mean by “science”?
The people who get the jobs because they will keep pushing the propaganda even if they get things wrong?
That is a cult.
50
Ah yes , only PF standing on his high moral ground understands “the science” 🙂

Mr Fitzroy doesn’t understand the science, but genuinely feels he is right in accepting the status quo even though misguided.
‘More heat, more bushfires, more droughts.
‘Australians are facing a future of hotter summers, longer bushfire seasons, less rain and more droughts.’ (Oz)

Late Nov, and I’m still wearing a flanny shirt !
Last couple of summers have been mild and very wet.
Basically every dam in Eastern Australia full to overflowing.
And there hasn’t been a decent bushfire since 2019.
30
I’m on the Central Tablelands and still in full winter gear, but it should warm up by the weekend as the blocking high pressure moves slowly east.
The people understand its wet because of three consecutive La Nina, but they can’t figure out why its so cold in late November? The MSM doesn’t elaborate because its only a weather anomaly.

“understands “the science””
Yet is totally incapable of producing any when asked.
Funny about that 😉

“It is not supported by science”
You are of course talking about warming by human CO2.
You know.. that thing you have NEVER been able to produce one single scrap of real science in support of it !!
You are right, CAGW is certainly not supported by science.. but it does have a lot of troughers and hangers-on, and other sorts of cult members.
201
“There are only two options, adaption and mitigation”
Yes, we should always adapt to the natural variability of climate.
As you are well aware, there is NO human caused global climate change.
Urban living, brings urban warming.. by its very nature… yes we need to adapt to it.
And you know that financial “assistance” to third world countries never gets past the despots in charge.
We should be helping them develop solid reliable electricity supplies.. ie COAL and GAS..
But we are not, because of the greenie anti-CO2 agenda that people like you worship.
That agenda has held back development in third world countries for a long time…
I’m so glad that you agree that … it has to stop !!
141
You can do whatever you like WITH YOUR OWN MONEY, Simon. You have no right to force others to give up their hard-earned money for this non-issue.
How much have you donated lately to families in Third World countries that you think are sinking beneath the ocean waves?
160
There is already a fund for adaptation. The proposed “loss and damage” fund is for damages.
The loss and damage camel’s nose is so fuzzy at this point there may not even be a camel. Nothing has been agreed to except that a committee will consider what might be agreed to.
But it could be great fun to watch. The developing countries fighting over nothing. China refusing to pay. Be still my heart. Okay do not be still.

Vic voters have to decide if they want another four years of ‘an incompetent government’ i Min 59 Secs
Sky News host Peta Credlin says Victorian voters have to decide “whether they really want another four years of incompetent and unprincipled government” in this week’s state election.
“Or whether they want to give the opposition a chance to clean up the mess and get Victoria back on track before it’s too late,” she said.
“Voting a Bad Government out, rather than Voting an Opposition in, that to me is a No Brainer”
210
Vote the bad one out and hope the new one isn’t as bad.
150
Australians have been doing this for over 50 years at both federal and state level, and look where we are.
One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

No ‘political mandate’ or ‘economic justification’ for IR bill: Credlin – 2 Mins 52 Secs
Sky News host Peta Credlin says the trouble with the government’s industrial relations bill is there is no “political mandate” or “economic justification” for it.
“Labor said nothing about this industry-wide bargaining push prior to the election. In fact, it denied it had such plans,” Ms Credlin said.
“But now, it’s ‘absolutely essential’ Labor says, to ‘get wages moving’.
“And sure, Labor did promise to increase real wages, just like it promised to cut power bills by $275 – but never specified how it would be done.”
Ms Credlin said this government was always going to have a “heavy union-led agenda”.
140
Wow, Labor influenced by the unions – know me down with a feather.

Staying warm: What does an unheated room do to your body?
Mention deadly cold and I think of polar explorers with icicles dangling from their beards and mountaineers tackling the heights of Everest; of fingers turning black with frostbite and the chilling clutch of hypothermia.
So I was sceptical when I was asked to take part in a cold experiment that took place at just 10 degrees Celsius. Yes, 10C.
To me that’s mild, nowhere near freezing and certainly no Arctic blast. Surely we’d have to go much colder before putting a strain on the body? I was wrong.
“It sounds mild, but it is a real physiological challenge,” Prof Damian Bailey, from the University of South Wales, tells me.
He’s invited me to his laboratory to explore the impact of cold homes on our bodies and why such seemingly mild temperatures can become deadly.
“Ten degrees is the average temperature that people will be living in, if they can’t afford to heat their homes,” said Prof Bailey.
And as I was about to find out, 10C has a profound impact on the heart, lungs and brain.
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-63602501
Meh. I’ve been on a mountain at -19C (wind chill factor) with 100km/h winds with 300mm+ ice stalagtites formed, in shorts and tshirt for 3 hours. Mind you, I took the very steep track up and didn’t drive. Those were the fun days…

How Blackrock is creating the global energy crisis:
“Most people are bewildered by what is a global energy crisis, with prices for oil, gas and coal simultaneously soaring and even forcing closure of major industrial plants such as chemicals or aluminum or steel. The Brandon Administration and EU have insisted that all is because of Putin and Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. This is not the case. The energy crisis is a long-planned strategy of western corporate and political circles to dismantle industrial economies in the name of a dystopian Green plan. That has its roots in the period years well before February 2022, when Russia launched its military action in Ukraine.”

Swiss Scientists Find Breakthrough Cure for Paralysis
Swiss scientists have made a breakthrough discovery in the quest to cure paralysis and help paralysed patients walk again.
Researchers at Swiss group NeuroRestore say that they’ve correctly identified which neurons can reverse the paralysis of people with severe chronic spinal injuries.
The neuroscientists have pinpointed the exact location in the spine after testing on mice and successfully restoring their ability to walk.
It turns out that the area that orchestrates walking comes from the nerve cells at the lower back. Having trauma there can disrupt the chain of signals between the spinal cord and the brain, causing the relevant neurons to lose their “walking” function even if they’re all present.

Hybrid ultracap battery promises 72-second city EV charging
An electric car that can charge in as little time as it takes to pump a gas vehicle has long been the dream of existing and would-be EV drivers. But what if it could charge even more quickly? The average gas fill-up takes two minutes, according to the American Petroleum Institute, with other estimates coming in higher. A new electric energy storage technology being developed by Swiss tech startup Morand could offer electric city car charging times in slightly more than half that two-minute time. A cross between traditional batteries and ultracapacitors, the company’s eTechnology units offer potential game-changing charging rates, coupled with the possibility of much longer lifespans than lithium-ion batteries.
Morand has been hard at work developing what it calls eTechnology, describing it as an energy storage solution that combines characteristics of an ultracapacitor with those of a chemical battery. In part of its test and evaluation program, the company says a 7.2-kWh eTechnology prototype was able to recharge to 80 percent in just 72 seconds, 98 percent in 120 seconds, and 100 percent in 2.5 minutes at up to 900 A/360 kW. It says independent testing was performed by Geo Technology.

I hope so, all I want is cheap energy. If they can give me that Im all for it and crossing fingers. I somehow doubt it though.

The Morand link is not worth much . .

“900 A/360 kW” forgive me if I take a few steps back while you recharge. I’ll just stand over there.
The infrastructure supporting multiples of these at a charging facility would be impressive
140
Just the bus-bar to carry that amount of charge would be impressive…
A present day high-rate recharge requires 3-phase, and takes, what, 3-4 hours. ?
… as you say.. stand well back !!

The Cause of Alzheimer’s Could Be Coming From Inside Your Mouth
In recent years, a growing number of scientific studies have backed an alarming hypothesis: Alzheimer’s disease isn’t just a disease, it’s an infection.
While the exact mechanisms of this infection are something researchers are still trying to isolate, numerous studies suggest the deadly spread of Alzheimer’s goes way beyond what we used to think.
One such study, published in 2019, suggested what could be one of the most definitive leads yet for a bacterial culprit behind Alzheimer’s, and it comes from a somewhat unexpected quarter: gum disease.
In a paper led by senior author Jan Potempa, a microbiologist from the University of Louisville, researchers reported the discovery of Porphyromonas gingivalis – the pathogen behind chronic periodontitis (aka gum disease) – in the brains of deceased Alzheimer’s patients.
“Now, for the first time, we have solid evidence connecting the intracellular, Gram-negative pathogen, P. gingivalis, and Alzheimer’s pathogenesis.”
In addition, the team identified toxic enzymes called gingipains secreted by the bacteria in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, which correlated with two separate markers of the disease: the tau protein, and a protein tag called ubiquitin.
But even more compellingly, the team identified these toxic gingipains in the brains of deceased people who were never diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
That’s important, because while P. gingivalis and the disease have been linked before, it’s never been known – to put it simply – whether gum disease causes Alzheimers, or whether dementia leads to poor oral care.
The fact that low levels of gingipains were evident even in people who were never diagnosed with Alzheimer’s could be a smoking gun – suggesting they might have developed the condition if they had lived longer.
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aau3333
A healthy gut microbiome (as I’ve covered before) and a healthy oral microbiome is the way to go. There are probiotic mouthwashes (which is what I use now) on the market which are way better than the typical antibiotic alcohol types.

Antibiotic mouthwashes are exactly what NOT to do, nothing to do with Az.
But every time I read of a new cause of Az, it just doesn’t fit my lady’s profile.
Mrs H was diagnosed 8 yrs ago, her oral health has been good but I see evidence of OCD in her shopping patterns going much further back. I am constantly finding colourful things around the house unopened. Today it was six pencil sharpeners all different colours in a pack.
There is no point in early diagnosis, but if you insist, OCD will show before memory loss.
OK I have been up all night because my Lady won’t settle. Sorry if I’m off topic.
Does anyone know, or have experienced, if Az sufferer’s have difficulty maintaining body temperature? I suspect that running fans and aircons may be counterproductive. Tonight I found her in an unconditioned room under a heavy doona, no fan. She is unable to communicate if she feels cold.

We are under dire threat. My email messages to Australian politicians are being censored because they contain the information shown below. That is, as an Australian citizen I am being denied the right to express my views in what was once a sovereign, democratic nation that valued freedom of expression.
Set out below is the object of the censorship which presumably is the truth if it warrants such censorship:
The deceptively named Greenhouse Gases are molecules in the atmosphere that have a simple structure. This enables the constituent atoms to vibrate about each other in various modes which arise when the molecule absorbs the electromagnetic energy required to produce that vibration. As freely floating molecules in the atmosphere, they can absorb and release the energy in any direction. Since the molecules are above the Earth’s surface, more that half of any absorbed radiation must, on release, be directed out into space, away from the Earth.
This applies to all sources of radiation, either from the hot Sun or from the much cooler Earth. Thus more than half of the radiation from the Sun within the spectral bands of the radiative gases is directed out into space before reaching the surface, making the Earth cooler than it would be if the radiative gases were absent. However the UN IPCC failed to report this fact.
Similarly more than half of the radiation from the cooler Earth’s surface within the radiative absorption bands is also directed out into space thereby decreasing the heat energy within the Earth/Atmosphere volume, resulting in cooling of the Earth. Again a fact not mentioned by the UN IPCC.
The residual energy from the Earth’s surface absorbed by the radiative gases and directed towards the surface is already part of the Earth’s energy budget received from the Sun so it cannot increase that energy. The radiative gases do not generate any heat energy, they are inert molecules that merely pass on the energy present via conduction, convection or radiation as does any entity within the Earth/Atmosphere volume warmed by the Sun. Thus, contrary to the claim by the UN IPCC that this warms the Earth, there is no additional energy whatsoever produced by the radiative gases, so they do not warm the Earth’s surface.
Conclusion: the action of the radiative gases is to cool the Earth, not heat it as claimed by the UN IPCC.
Maurice Strong, millionaire and Canadian representative to the UN, was instrumental in setting up the UN IPCC in order to destroy capitalism. His aim was to demonize fossil fuels, the source of cheap and reliable energy, which allowed capitalism to flourish, thereby bringing about the collapse of the World economy and setting the stage for a “One World Government” by the UN and World Economic Forum. He was a member of the World Economic Forum and spent his later years living in an apartment in Beijing under the Communist regime.
The UN and the World Economic Forum have continued with their aim of destroying our life-style, society, democracy and freedom by propaganda and education that promotes the false narrative that atmospheric CO2 is warming the Earth, causing catastrophic climate events, setting up fear in the World population by this deception all aimed at creating ‘One World Government’, by them, of course.

Unfortunately Bevan, our federal politicians use CSIRO as their main policy drivers and information source. That organisation is so far into climate alarmism it’s not funny. It seems every departments activity within that organisation is framed by the mantra of ” the earth is warming alarmingly and our weather will be more variable”. There appears to be no balancing force within CSIRO at all. There was once, but I think most have now retired. Under Larry Marshall it has got much worse with the production of the GENCOST analysis the most egregious. There’s a huge conflict of interest. They are the main group advising government but then also the main recipients of grants. At the moment they are pro-active on methane reduction in agriculture and hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel source. They have been given money to do this by both LNP and now ALP governments.

” … email messages to Australian politicians are being censored because …”
In the USA, politicians appear to have a filter on email that block any input if the sender is not a resident of the district the person represents. I suspect there are other sorts of filters for state-wide and federal officials that prevent contact from unknown (registered, accepted, ?) people. Some officials likely get hundreds or thousands of messages each week.
Many years ago — I think it was 1984 when Ronald Reagan’s 2nd campaign was underway — tort reform was an issue, and I sent a letter addressed to the President at the White House. I offered to give the campaign a 1980s Chevy truck (saddle-bag gas tank issues) if tort reform was included in the Republican platform.
Two weeks later I got a solicitation for a donation from the Republican National Committee. Ronnie never got in touch.😒

You’re right about the charlatan Maurice Strong Bevan. When he organised the first Earth Summit in 1992, which later became IPCC, conference in Rio with Bert Bolin, he deliberately invited a large range of activists to the conference without the knowledge of the scientists attending, who mistakenly thought it was going to be a scientific conference. Strong also made the statement:
“What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? …In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialised civilisations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”
He was finally convicted in 2006 of conspiring to bribe UN officials, stripped of his 53 international awards and honours, and fled to Canada then China.
A side note is that Strong was a major player in setting up the Montreal Protocol.

The push to get rid of Zelensky is starting, I’ve heard rumbles in several articles. Saying the missile that hit Poland was Russian is so standard for him it hardly counts, yet he is being hung out to dry on it-
“A fierce attack against the president of Ukraine, V. Zelensky, is launched by American media using heavy expressions, a sign that the climate has started to reverse.
Fox News’ Carlson Tucker publicly blasted the Ukrainian president, accusing him of lying to get millions of Americans killed for him.
“Zelensky continued to lie on TV. So when you run a country where free press is banned, like in Ukraine, you may not realize that the rest of the world is not forced to believe you. You can’t put them all in jail.
That’s why he kept saying what he knew wasn’t true! It’s a lie that could kill millions of Americans. So you have to ask yourself: “Is it time to stop supporting this guy? Can the risk be that high?” He lies on purpose to get us into a war””
Also in there is the New York Times reporting on the killing of Russian POWs by Ukraine, something quite amazing for a mainstream propaganda machine.

The republicans are the anti-war party today and it is they who object to the multi billions being piped into Ukraine.
Tucker is not pro Russian just pro America.
Personally, with no skin in the game, i think the US is getting value for money IF all arms are getting the front.
Russia cannot survive this craziness, will likely be unable to maintain their nuclear arsenal and there will be another “peace dividend” similar to Reagan and Gorby.

Still thinking the West rules the world. I doubt Russia will be dented much at all except in the minds of the western media. Why they wouldn’t maintain their nuclear capability is a mystery.

Their ABC have ben yapping about the latest “state of the climate report” and I’m sure there are enough silly fools who’ll lap it up.
Amazing that these same donkeys played dumb when the Flannery con merchant told the MSM that we “wouldn’t have enough future rainfall to fill our dams and rivers”. And that was about 15 years ago.
Unbelievable but TRUE and ditto their CSIRO.

When you read this report, you might note that it repeats the alarmist lie about SLR but noticeably does not include any data to backup that assertion. Surely any scientific body should not be making claims that they cannot verify with data.

Just watching sky news – weather report and theve now drunk the ABC coolaide and going all out with climate change , climate change , climate change .
Some of it is laughable, unscientific rubbish and the rest is propaganda straight from the UN playbook . So apart from being the hottest year evaaahhh and cyclones will cause more flooding but there will be less of them and it’s going to get hotter but it’s going to rain more . My favourite was the map of Oz highlighting the select areas of coast that are suffering from sea level rise , noted the whole of the Gulf of Carpentaria is already seeing sea level rise and soon it will be inundated . Anyone remember the story recently of the mangroves that died in the same area because the sea level dropped and the mangroves died of thirst . As for hottest year evaahhh I can’t remember a year where we’ve had the wood heater going into November.

Yeah, listening to it this morning, just rubbish that no sane person would believe… Not only will we be flooded every year from now on but our bushfire seasons will be longer and bigger. Australia is getting hotter and hotter, yet anyone alive could tell you this year has been distinctly colder than before.
Far too many arts graduates involved, no-one seems to be able to reason out the consequences of so much humidity in the atmosphere and so much rain on the ground. It ends up as pure Govt propaganda alongside “Putin bad” and “Covid will kill you but vaccines save you”.
I suppose the best bit of propaganda this morning was the Reserve Bank saying wage rises will add to the inflation that is causing the need for wage rises… No mention of the truth, that Govt money printing is the cause of inflation, or the other side of the coin that employers profits cause wage demands.

” “Covid will kill you but vaccines save you”.”
Will save you for what?

RR- was it a weather report? Even the ABC doesn’t editorialise a plain old report.

If you are referring to the recently-released BOM/CSIRO Report, which is also being discussed in The Australian today, Neville provided a link to that report in #18.

Part of the weather report yes and was a reference to a CSIRO / BOM report .

The Biden administration the promoters of the man-made global warming agenda, depopulation, the big bang theory and the black hole hoopla that stands behind the censorship of the Orion’s live stream footage of the moon mission, saying to society in essence, “The truth be damned! Close your mind. We tell you what the truth is. We own your science. We control what science is. We use this control to prove to you what we want you to believe. Your place is to simply believe. We even supply your opinions for you, that we want you to imagine are real. We own you, by imprisoning you into dreams. You have no means to escape from this trap, because you lack the scientific power to discern what the actual truth – based on real science and real evidence – is. We dazzle you with sparkling dreams, so that you will never reach out for your potential in real science and develop your power as human beings.”

Geez, why the new conspiracies. Is this for the nextgen to tilt at?

“why the new conspiracies”
Its been advertised by them.
They have actually said things like “we own the science”..
Pay more attention to your masters, or you get ostrichised by your fellow AGW cult members.
