by FRED PAWLE – THERE are two possible explanations for our government’s preoccupation with the weather in 2050. The most likely one says it has nothing to do with science.
If politicians, scientists and the media are correct, climate change is an existential threat necessitating drastic and expensive measures to prevent our grandchildren inheriting a miserable world of storms, drought, famine, pestilence, war and anarchy.
- Climate change is a fake crisis being used by cartoon-like villains.
- Their goal is to seize power and transfer wealth from poor people to themselves.
- Intelligent people instinctively know this to be true.
But there’s another explanation: that climate change is a fake crisis being used by cartoon-like villains whose goal is to seize power and transfer wealth from poor people to themselves.
Intelligent people instinctively know which of these analyses is correct.
TRANSGENDERISM
These are the people who were instinctively right about COVID, the vaccines and transgenderism.
And if I’m not mistaken, they will soon also be vindicated on the theory that Hillary Clinton not only ordered the hit on Jeffrey Epstein but did it herself with her own cold hands.
But for those whose instincts are less resolute, let’s dive a little deeper into this pervasive pessimism and see what it’s really about.
The first recorded example of climate catastrophism is from Mesopotamia 4000 years ago, when The Epic of Gilgamesh told of the gods being displeased with humans and wiping all but a handful of them out in a flood.
You might recall reading a similar story about Noah in the Bible’s Old Testament, and another about an even more cataclysmic end of the world in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation.
These stories of divine retribution have survived for millennia because their standard moral framework appeals immediately to anybody with a conscience who is grappling with the mystery of free will in an imperfect world, which is most of us.
But recently the story has needed to adapt slightly. Ours is a supposedly post-religious world, where there is no divinity to impart divine retribution.
So who imparts it, and how? Enter, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
You will be punished!
Carney’s not alone, of course. In 2023, for example, the UK passed the Energy Bill, granting the government powers to fine property owners up to £15,000 or imprison them for failing to meet net-zero energy targets.
DOGMA
There are countless other examples of politicians harshly enforcing climate dogma.
Curiously, these policies all promise to “address climate change” or “achieve net-zero” but never promise to actually change the weather, which should be the objective. That’s because this is about power, not results.
Jordan Peterson defined it well in The Telegraph (UK) last week.
These people who “are willing or even eager to use force and compulsion to control others and advance their own narrowly self-centred personal agendas (electoral success; public acclaim; narcissistic self-aggrandisement) can point to the hypothetical ‘fact’ of impending climate apocalypse to justify the imposition of any and all economic, political, financial and personal restrictions in the name of saving the planet”.
Peterson is correct. These people can impose any and all restrictions they please because they have Godlike moral authority.
You can detect this divine power – some might see it as arrogance – in the messianic demeanour of politicians like Energy Minister Chris Bowen and new Environment Minister Murray Watt.
Both are resolute about their moral obligation to save the planet; and ruthless with anybody who dares to get in their way. As long as they’re not Chinese, that is.
Bowen and Watt are members of a government that would have gone bankrupt years ago if it hadn’t creamed off billions of dollars in revenue from planet-destroying coal exported to China.
But even this fits, however clumsily, into their moral world view.
To them, coal only changes the weather when white people burn it.
FORCED
That’s why we Australians must be forced to use solar panels and windmills while China can fire up as much coal, most of it from Australia, as it likes.
And it does, going through 4.7b tonnes of the stuff every year. None of that has any effect on the climate, as far as our government is concerned.
One and half billion Chinese peasants could never have as much influence on the world as 27 million mostly white Aussie heroes do.
Which brings me to the other theory, that the proponents of climate change and net-zero are using a wholly manufactured fear to seize power and line their own pockets.
The evidence speaks for itself. The net-zero zealots are in power, they are enriching themselves handsomely through subsidies and kickbacks, and yet not one of their predictions of Armageddon has ever come even close to being true.
Our grandchildren won’t thank us for saving the planet – we’re not – but they will instead think we were hopeless wimps for sitting back and letting these grifters destroy our prosperity.PC

AGL drained householder’s solar battery at peak times then slammed him with peak rates for using the grid.
FirstFactCheck
Jun 06, 2025
Peter Anderson joined AGL’s solar battery plan in 2021 and accepted $1,000 off his battery installation costs in return for participating in a VPP or virtual power plant, a scheme where AGL aggregates householders’ batteries, using those devices according to the needs of the grid.
He signed up for a five year deal.
For the first year, everything was fine.
“It was all very gentle and easy going,” Mr Anderson says, “It was, ‘Hey, this is what it is, we promise we won’t do these things, we promise we will do these things, we knock a thousand bucks off the battery, we put you on a five-year deal to stay on the program for five years.’ The idea of it was to help stabilise the grid in times of drama. So it all seemed very reasonable. And for the first year, I don’t even think they touched the battery.”
A year or so into the deal, AGL suddenly, and he says without warning, signed him up for a complicated kind of dynamic charge called a demand tariff, where the power price customers are charged is determined by their single greatest half-hourly period of electricity use from the grid across an entire month. Essentially, if you’re taking power from the grid at the peak times, you are charged more for all your power usage for the month. The power company says they adequately notified him of the change, but he says it was a complete surprise when he got the bill.
At the same time, AGL started to drain his battery at peak times, meaning that he was forced to use grid power at those times, and raising his power prices astronomically for the whole month.
He says, “They changed the way they use the battery. It went from these little bites every now and again to just full on sucking the thing down to its 5 per cent reserve level, just dragging everything out of it. And you could map when they were doing that to when the price on the (national electricity market) had skyrocketed.”
AGL disputes Mr Anderson’s claim — and in doing so basically admitted that they were draining the battery.
‘a spokeswoman rejected claims AGL ever entirely depleted the batteries of participating households, saying it was the company’s policy to always leave at least 20 per cent of a charge remaining.’
Draining 80 per cent of the charge seems to be quite unreasonable.
They also claim that the demand tariff was a completely separate matter, unrelated to the regular draining of the battery, which of course it isn’t, if they were draining the battery then imposing the peak tariff. The demand tariff was so unpopular, however, that they have canned it now completely.
For Mr Anderson, his own experience was bad enough to leave the VPP scheme.
In future, he says he’ll manage his own energy needs.
“This is an obvious misuse of the virtual power plant solution,” he believes.
“They’re draining the battery to service other clients and you’re left in the lurch.
“Now, I bet if you go through the fine print … there’s no guarantees around that.
“But there’s the way they sell it and the spirit in which they sell it, which is very much against how they behaved.”

1900 Scientists Say ‘Climate Change Not Caused by CO2’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked
Very few people actually dig into the data, they simply accept the UN IPPC reports.
Yet many highly respectable and distinguished scientists have done exactly that AND FOUND THAT THE UN-PROMOTED MANMADE CLIMATE CHANGE THEORY IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED.
Are you aware that almost 2,000 of the world’s leading climate scientists and professionals in over 30 countries have signed a declaration that there is no climate emergency and have refuted the United Nations claims in relation to man-made climate change? See this.
In summary, CO2 reduction is the main focus of the UN-promoted climate-change-hysteria that has been rampant among the world’s population.
However, the proclaimed climate crisis exists in computer models only.
The cult of ‘manmade climate change’ is a media and UN politically-promoted ‘ideology’, that is used for a wider political and corporate agenda.
Manmade climate change is not based in fact, and has hijacked real environmental concerns.
Due to incessant UN, government, and corporate-promoted climate change propaganda, many people are, thus, in a media-induced state of confusion, and, thus, blindly assume their pre-determined role in society under this ‘dictatorship of words’ without even being aware of it.
The unpalatable reality is that people’s access to energy and resources is being intentionally reduced via bogus climate change policies, inflation, ongoing geo-political theatre and intentionally instigated war.
We cannot understand how to create a truly resilient society unless we correctly perceive the current society we live in and how it came to exist.
Unless we recognize the untruths of the current paradigm, even if it is not ‘politically correct’ to do so, then we will not be able to make the correct adjustments to our communities and local/regional networks, or create a truly resilient thriving society.
In this spirit of truth, new networks are emerging worldwide.

CENTRAL BANKERS ARE ENTIRELY FUNDING THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE WORLDWIDE CLIMATE CHANGE ‘PROJECT’.
Climate Change and C02: Fake Sustainability Versus Real Sustainability – The EU/UN/WEF Technocratic War on Farmers – Climate Alarmism, Corporate Control, the IoT, and Electrification of Everything
By Mark Keenan – Global Research, June 24, 2024
The modern green movement is far removed from the original principles of environmentalism.
Fake sustainability is the political agenda designed and pushed by the United Nations, implemented by subservient governments, and which serves the aims of the private banking and mega-corporate super-entity.
Central to this agenda is the climate change deception and other false UN narratives, as described in the book Transcending the Climate Change Deception Toward Real Sustainability.
Under ‘FAKE sustainability’ we may consider points including:
Manmade climate change is a convenient lie it is not caused by CO2 or by methane from livestock, such as cows.
Temperatures were higher in the 1930s than today, but the UN ignores that data. A UN IPPC committee chairman actually resigned in protest at UN IPPC lies and false information.
Most of the scientists that say climate change is a problem are on perpetual government grants.
The UN IPCC cherry picks data, uses flawed modelling and scenarios not remotely related to the real world
Geo-engineering under the guise of combatting climate change, and the technology they use to pollute the skies.
CENTRAL BANKERS ARE ENTIRELY FUNDING THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE WORLDWIDE CLIMATE CHANGE ‘PROJECT’.
Central bankers hijacked the real environmental movement in 1992 creating the fake climate change agenda. Amongst other financial ulteriors, the Rockefeller banking dynasty promoted the climate alarmism agenda. The Chicago Climate Exchange is a trillion-dollar money-generating hoax.
Renewable energy is not a viable solution to the world’s energy problems. This is evidenced by the work of David MacKay, (1967 – 2016) former Regius Professor of Engineering at Cambridge University and former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change, in his book Sustainable Energy without Hot Air, see Endnote . His analysis shows that an area twice the size of the entire country of Wales would need to be completely covered with wind turbines to meet the energy demand in the U.K., based on average energy consumption per person.

Limits to Growth, Climate Change, Digitization of Everything and Worldwide Censorship — All Leading to WEF and the Behemoth Cult Commanding It
By Peter Koenig
Global Research, January 22, 2024
The Reset / Agenda 2030 are attacking the globe octopus-like on many fronts simultaneously – all thoroughly planned and adjusted with fallback positions, ready with last-minute alternatives, so as not to lose track of the final objectives – full spectrum dominance over the world, by a small elite, and its “rule-based” One World Hegemony.
The growing atrocities increasingly visible around the globe, such as unwarranted censorship without a legal basis, totally contradicting the US First Amendment, “Freedom of Speech”; the imposed “climate change” agenda which nobody dares to contradict for fear of being “sanctioned”, because a new “God-given” Green Agenda has been devised to protect the globe and humanity from overheating. Absurdities have no limits.
Another Reset / Agenda 2030 program item is “digitization of everything” – literally. This includes a new form of money, Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC, a programmable form of money, that can be made to expire, blocked, or be given limited access by the owner, depending on the individual’s behavior. Total control, a precursor to tyranny.

THE CORRUPTION OF SCIENCE
Video: Climate – The Cold Truth. The Massive Scam which Promotes Global Warming / Climate Change
Climate The Movie by Martin Durkin
By Julian Rose – Global Research, June 20, 2024
We are rapidly waking up to the massive scam that promotes global warming/climate change as ‘doomsday scenario par excellence’.
In this film (see below) is a succinct and powerfully presented series of exposes by scientists and climatologists coming clean about the real truth behind the global warming invention.
Highly recommended viewing for all in need of material that can be shared with others needing to be brought up to speed on this vital issue.
Climate Change/Global Warming is the scare tool being used to completely capsize the world economy, destroy agriculture and act as a supposed critical ‘health hazard’ to the global population.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has the audacity to claim that it is in a position to also rule on climate issues. So its ‘Pandemic Treaty’, if approved by The World Health Assembly this May 2024, looks like being the basis for placing both climate change and world health under its United Nations/World Economic Foundation backed despotic mantle.
Let us be in no doubt that the depopulation agenda is at the forefront of these manoeuvres.
Covid, Climate and Health Care are now all weaponised by the elite Big Finance cult that pulls the strings of puppet political chiefs, non governmental organisations (NGO’s) and all operatives that toe the line of the top down status quo.
I would wish that those speaking on this film had had the courage to raise their voices before their retirement.
This is where true whistleblowers really come into their own. It takes courage.

There Will Be No Climate Catastrophe: MIT Professor Dr Richard Lindzen – Climate Depot
According to Lindzen, all recent predictions of climate catastrophe have proven false, and future ones will be as well. “2030 will pass. 2050 will pass. Fifty years will pass. There will be no climate catastrophe,” he says.
In the interview, Lindzen thoroughly discusses what climate scientists know about climate change and its processes, as well as the half-truths and outright lies propagated by those proclaiming a climate crisis. He addresses topics such as the limited capacity of CO2 to warm the planet, its actual role on Earth, misleading claims about the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the absurdity of climate policies and the future of energy.
Dr Richard Lindzen is an internationally recognized American atmospheric scientist and MIT emeritus professor whose contributions to climate science are significant.

SUN TAX / SOLAR TAX AND The End of Premium Feed-in Tariffs:
What it means for solar owners
March 4, 2025
The PREMIUM FEED-IN TARIFFS IS DUE TO END ON THE 30TH JUNE, 2028 so it is high time that solar panel owners who applied to install solar panels before the 30th of September 2011 think about getting a plan in place when it ends, if not sooner, especially if you are not getting the benefits anyway because of low solar exports.
The other thing that is imminent is what is called a ‘solar export tariff’ also commonly referred to as a “SOLAR TAX OR SUN TAX”. Because of the glut of solar on rooftops in Australia and especially in SA, there is an oversupply of energy from solar during the day and electricity providers are introducing a new mechanism to charge solar panel owners for the electricity they feed back into the grid.
What it amounts to is that solar panel owners may be charged to export energy to the grid (1-3c/kWh) depending on the time of day.
CLIMATE CHANGE CLAIMS SH0T TO PIECES.
When the Ice Cracks: Michael Mann’s Legal Defeat and the Climate of Accountability – PJ Media
What was once billed as a victory for climate science now reads like a cautionary tale of arrogance.
Excerpt >
The End of the SLAPP Era?
Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPP suits, are designed to silence critics through legal intimidation. Mann’s campaign was a textbook example. By targeting individual writers and nonprofit think tanks, he hoped to scare others into silence.
For years, it worked. Journalists walked on eggshells. Scientists who questioned prevailing models did so anonymously or not at all. Free speech took a back seat to narrative control.
This ruling shatters that dynamic. It affirms that even loud, politically favored scientists must prove their claims with facts, not feelings. And it reminds us that courts are not the proper venue for science to settle scores.
The Ice Beneath Climate Orthodoxy Begins to Crack
The implications of this case stretch far beyond Mann’s personal disgrace. For years, the climate industrial complex has leaned heavily on scare graphs and dramatic modeling to demand trillions in global policy changes. But when one of the movement’s most famous architects is caught misrepresenting data and himself, the entire foundation begins to quake.
Organizations such as NASA, GISS, and NOAA have routinely adjusted historical temperature records and used model projections that have consistently overshot reality. Now, people are asking hard questions:
Why do projections from twenty years ago still not match observed warming?
Why are climate models consistently wrong, and why are they still used to justify sweeping regulations?
Why do scientists who challenge these inconsistencies find themselves blacklisted or defunded?
The answer is uncomfortable. For too long, one version of the science was protected by the media, bureaucracy, and legal threats. Not anymore.
The Movement Will Suffer from Its Martyr’s Fall
Michael Mann was a pillar of the climate change movement, not because his data was flawless, but because he fought like a political operative. He understood that the public didn’t need nuance; it needed symbols, and he made himself one.
His downfall represents more than just personal embarrassment. It’s an unmasking. It shows that the high priests of climate change are not always guardians of truth, but often zealots of ideology.
This could mark the start of a long-overdue audit, not just of Mann’s work, but of all the organizations that parroted his claims without question. Governments are waking up. The UK has scaled back its net-zero goals. Australia’s opposition is openly questioning climate funding. Even Germany, the gold standard of green virtue, is facing backlash over rising energy costs.
The spell is breaking.
A New Climate of Courage
Michael Mann’s courtroom humiliation is more than just a procedural win for CEI or National Review. It’s a cultural moment, a signal that free inquiry and rigorous debate are returning to climate science.
It should have always been about the data. Instead, it became about dogma. But now, people see that those who scream the loudest for consensus often have the most to hide.
To the skeptics, engineers, meteorologists, and even the farmers who questioned the gospel and paid the price, your vindication has begun.
