Al's Journal : Innovation and Insulation

We need massive investment, by both the private sector and the government, in green energy technology. This is one of the reasons it’s so important that the Senate act immediately to pass the clean energy and green jobs bill. And I’ve long said, we need to change laws, not just light bulbs. However, with the climate crisis unfolding at a rapid pace, we cannot sacrifice immediate and easily achievable gains in energy efficiency. Right now we need to put our energy behind every possible solution to this crisis. There is no reason we can’t walk and chew gum at the same time if the will exists.

Monckton takes Brisbane | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Bruce McMahon of the Courier Mail shows no mercy to green colleague Graham Readfearn, who foolishly agreed to join a debate in Brisbane with climate sceptics:

Lord Christopher Monckton, imperious and articulate, won yesterday’s climate change debate in straight sets…

Aided by Adelaide’s Professor Ian Plimer, Lord Monckton cruised to victory before a partisan crowd of suits and ties, movers and shakers.

Hundreds of them were there for the sell-out, $130-a-head Brisbane Institute lunch – and scepticism was applauded.

EU Referendum: This is where our money goes

One of the abiding mysteries of our time is how the "climate groupies" manage to field their supporters in such large numbers at the succession of climate [scam] summits held throughout the world.

Well, part of the puzzle is solved, at least in respect of the Johannasburg Earth Summit in 2002. The British taxpayer, via the Department For International Development (DFID), spent £200,000
...
However, that pales into insignificance when compared with the amount of money we spent on "support for developing country participation at important international conferences, negotiations and seminars" – most of them, presumably, on climate change. That was an eye-watering £1,500,000, all at the taxpayers' expense.

You know, there are some people out there who think our development budget is spent on alleviating poverty and other such "good works". If they really knew how the money was spent, they would be sick to their stomachs. And this, incidentally, is the budget that David Cameron wants to ring-fence.
