The seas and oceans to the east of Australia forms the largest body of water on Earth. This broadly connected vast body of water presents a genuine sea level. The Sydney Fort Denison Recording Station provides stable, accurate and genuine mean sea level data. The following table shows mean sea levels at 10 year intervals and these levels are related to Chart Datum which is at the lowest spring tide level.

Lord Monckton, one of the most well informed commentators on Thermomania and Climategate, is coming to Australia at the invitation of several concerned Australians. He will be giving a series of talks in all mainland capitals and Noosa. We will post details as soon as they are confirmed.

Lord Monckton has also written to PM Rudd on comments the PM made in his talk to the Lowry Institute about the “small number of dangerous, well funded climate-change deniers”. Lord Monckton’s open letter to PM Rudd can be seen here:

Solar energy is very dilute, so solar collectors usually cover huge areas of flat arable land, stealing farmland, starving wild herbs and grasses of sunlight and creating “Solar Deserts”.

Wind turbines steal energy from winds which often bring moisture from the ocean. These walls of turbines then create rain shadows, producing more rain near the turbines and more droughts down-wind. Turbines work best along ridge lines where eagles also seek thermals, so birds and bats get chopped up by these whirling scythes. They also annoy neighbours with noise and increase bushfire risk.

Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a Swedish scientist who first claimed that the burning of hydro-carbons like coal, oil, gas, peat and wood may cause global warming.

In 1895 he calculated (incorrectly) that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would lead to a 4-5 oC rise in global temperature.

However, Arrhenius suggested that this increase could be beneficial, making the various climates on Earth “more equable” and stimulating plant growth and food production. (more…)

While Australia is increasing expenditure of consumer and taxpayer money to the renewables industry, governments around the world have decided that “enough is enough”.

Other countries are realising that renewable energy is a massive waste of tax payer funds and has zero or negligible effect on CO2 emissions. They are thus cutting or eliminating subsidies to the grossly inefficient green power generators.

Here are some recently reported examples:

Spain cuts subsidies to wind and solar:

Italy cuts subsidies to wind and solar:

Ontario cuts incentives for solar:

Wind power does not reduce CO2 emissions:
http://www.masterresource.org/2010/06/subsidizing-co2-emissions/

Here are a few examples of the ways in which Australian state and federal Governments subsidise or give unfair advantage to renewables:

• Bans on nuclear power
• Renewable Energy Targets
• Renewable Energy Certificates
• Feed in Tariffs
• Direct government subsidies for renewable energy
• Tax and other incentives
• Cost of the electricity grid enhancements that are needed to accommodate the disruptive, erratic renewable energy generators is shared by everyone instead of being attributed to the renewable energy generators.
• Super Profits Tax on coal mining.
• Threats to shut down or in other ways disadvantage coal fired power plants without fair compensation for the investors.

Malcolm Turnbull signed Australia onto the Paris Climate Agreement. This appalling document should be forever draped around his neck like a dead albatross.

& The Carbon Sense Coalition

Now we learn he has engineered an Emissions Trading Scheme as part of our green tributes to Paris.

The ALP and the Greens would have gone even further than Turnbull into the European climate swamp. They should also be awarded the ODA – the Order of the Dead Albatross.

Australia must withdraw from the dreadful Paris agreement before it can be ratified.

We need our own CLEXIT – climate exit from the energy vandals of Europe.

ETS is about changing behaviour.
We should plant more trees, drive trucks less and stop raising so many farm animals.

She forgot to say “stop exhaling”!

The warmist ABC recently trumpeted a forecast (from an unproven academic model) that global warming and urban heat will make Brisbane too hot for many residents within 30 years.

But what about people in Darwin and Cooktown right now – should they migrate to Brisbane?

Some reading:

Global Warming will make Brisbane unliveable:

At last the tide seems to be turning. Businesses and consumers are coming to realize that the whole Emissions Industry is designed to deliver money and power to the government. There is nothing in it for taxpayers, consumers or the climate. Even some in the media are becoming sceptics.

For a year now, almost no media was interested in our story. But recently we have had TV, radio and newspaper reporters seeking comment from the Carbon Sense Coalition, and often the interviewers were friendly or at least open minded.

A few other developments.

1. John Coleman, the weatherman who started “The Weather Channel,” has become one of the most prolific opponents to the theory of man-made global warming. Here he reports how the whole thing started… http://www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/38574742.html

2. Here is a petition you should sign. Go to: http://listentous.org.au/
Dr Dennis Jensen MP will be presenting the petition to the House of Representatives.

3. And Australia has its Climate Sceptics Party. See: http://www.climatesceptics.com.au/

4. Professor Ian Plimer has a new book: “Heaven and Earth”:
http://www.connorcourt.com/catalog1/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=103&zenid=1b2bf53b161f52ca5117787e8492eb91

5. Another Australian, David Archibald has released a very informative book on the solar links to world climate changes: “Solar Cycle 24”. See: http://www.davidarchibald.info/

6. Last but not least, The Lavoisier Society has released Thank God for Carbon, the latest booklet by Ray Evans. See: http://www.lavoisier.com.au/articles/climate-policy/science-and-policy/TGFC-Overview.php. You may order copies of the book by e-mail from the Society order@lavoisier.com.au. Please include your name and postal address and the number of copies you would like to receive. The Lavoisier Group would be grateful to receive donations to cover postage and printing costs.

This is a critical year in the battle for Carbon Sense. All over the world the Warmists are becoming desperate as skepticism grows and voters are diverted to real problems like jobs and financial security.

Any help you can give us in this battle of our times is appreciated.

What follows is an expanded version of a complaint sent to the ACCC. (The ACCC complaint form limits the amount of text than can be entered.)

I wish to complain about the Australian Government “Climate Change” advertisement currently showing on Australian TV (August, 2008). The text of the advertisement is as follows:
