NET zero emissions are only the beginning. A similar sleight of hand is occurring with the Wuhan virus, where we’re assured that on attaining some constantly changing target, freedom will be restored.
But whenever the dictators see power slipping away, they are tempted to find, “on medical advice”, good reason to continue our imprisonment.
- Any entity not expressly Right-wing will, over time, become Left-wing. This is the intended result of the Marxist takeover of education.
- Progressives seek to demoralise the public and undermine confidence in the nation’s institutions, traditions and customs.
Net zero was always a bridge too far. There was never any justification for the massive damage the politicians had already imposed by replacing one of the world’s cheapest and most reliable electricity systems with one of the most expensive.
As the Chief Scientist reluctantly concedes, closing Australia down won’t change the temperature.
TAKEOVER
O’Sullivan’s law warns any entity not expressly Right-wing will, over time, become Left-wing. This is the intended result of the Marxist takeover of education.
Add a crucial finding by American constitutionalist and high-rating broadcaster, Mark Levin, in American Marxism.
This is about the Marxist strategy, disguised as “progressive” or some other innocuous name, to invent a succession of theories, dogmas, phrases and terminologies – eg, critical race theory or gender fluidity.
These are designed to demoralise the public and undermine confidence in the nation’s institutions, traditions and customs.
These invariably flow on to Australia. So despite the fact that the earth has not warmed for several years, every pet shop galah is now talking about “the climate emergency”.
Even the Business Council of Australia now demands Australia double its 2030 emissions reduction target to achieve net zero by 2050, with carpetbagger attractions in carbon offsets and, no doubt, massive subsidies.
The proposal is predictably based on “modelling”, a tactic of the elites to provide cover for what is no more than tosh.
As the celebrated statistician, Professor Box, famously said, “All models are wrong”.
Even if the politicians are treacherous enough to sign the national suicide note for net zero emissions, Biden’s presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry, has spilt the beans.
This was when he was not flying between his several mansions on his private jet, increasing his already gargantuan carbon dioxide footprint.
WARMISTS
His insane admission should worry even warmists: “But even if we get to net zero, we still have to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere”.
When they’re not talking about “climate emergency”, the pet shop galahs are going on about our Federation unravelling and the premiers being the nation’s most powerful people. Twaddle.
As explained here, the dictatorial behaviour of the premiers dates back to the National Cabinet’s foolish rejection of world’s best practice in favour of the communist solution to the pandemic, a police-State lockdown.
This could only have proceeded, with the PM, who has sufficient power to block any of the lockdowns, underwriting them all.
He even walked out of the case concerning border closures, leaving Clive Palmer to fight it alone.
The fact is, the premiers are able to behave like dictators because the Prime Minister lets them. Mandated vaccinations, which the PM openly disapproves of, are clearly beyond Canberra’s constitutional powers.
To the extent that the States are using subordinate legislation by some minister or bureaucrat under the authority of public health legislation to mandate vaccinations, most are arguably invalid.
It would always be open to the Prime Minister to override these either under the Biosecurity Act, or through an amendment indicating the Commonwealth intends to exclude any authority remaining in the States in relation to the quarantine power in section 51(ix) of the Constitution.
CORRECT
Among our politicians are a handful who truly exercise what the great Edmund Burke said is the reason we elect them – their judgement.
One such, the Reverend Fred Nile, introduced a NSW bill back in February to make employers responsible for any damage suffered from vaccinations they require, surely a correct principle.
Mandating experimental vaccinations, the NSW government has been hoist on its own petard.
Little wonder the Berejiklian team shamelessly resorted to a technicality to block sittings of the upper house. In the face of this outrage, why were the media silent?
Everybody makes mistakes and Alfred Nobel was no exception. He left the award of the Peace Prize to politicians, in this case Norwegian. The problem with politicians is their decisions can be affected by completely irrelevant politics.
At least they have learned something since 2001, when John Howard should have received the Peace Prize for the liberation of East Timor.
But because of the Tampa Affair, where a Norwegian ship was hijacked by “refugees” in an attempt to force the hand of the Australian government, the Committee instead awarded the Prize to the United Nations and its Secretary-General Kofi Annan whose record clearly militated against this.
There was a clear winner for the 2021 Prize, Donald Trump and not only for the remarkable Abraham Accords but also for his many other achievements around the world. At least this time apparently deserving fighters for press freedom shared the prize.
DAMAGES
In April last year, I concluded here that there was sufficient evidence the Wuhan virus came from a laboratory and not a wet market and that Beijing had deliberately allowed millions across the world to be infected, with many deaths.
This has been confirmed in Sharri Markson’s superb book, What really happened in Wuhan.
The matters still outstanding are recovering damages and whether the release was deliberate. In discussing the latter in the book, respected dissident, Wei Jingsheng, says such a possibility always exists and Xi would be the most likely culprit.
As to damages, I remain of the view that an ad hoc tribunal should have been set up with the US to rule on this.
We may have to wait for the re-election of Donald Trump, the possibility of which is outraging those many in the commentariat whose preferred candidate was Joe Biden. Are they not horrified by their appalling choice?PC
An excellent article. But, I fail to understand why none of our political class think to question the strategig significance of China offering 2060 as it’s net-zero date….other than China wants to exploit a significantly weakened west…who rush to net-zero a decade earlier. Perhaps Prof. Flint would comment, then perhaps our pitical elites would listen?
“I fail to understand why none of our political class think to question […]”
That would be because our politicians are too busy lining their own pockets and selling us out to the self-appointed global elites.
It’s not better to be “inside the tent” when the tent is full to overflowing with self-interested narcissistic psychopaths, is it?
…..we need to keep asking the 2060 question and geo political strategic significance for China, Morrie.
Hello Bob,
“[…] we need to keep asking the 2060 question […]”
I don’t think we do, because the answer is self-evident to anyone who cares to think about it. Sadly, our politicians neither care to think about it nor show any inclination to respond to encouragement to do so. Instead, they remain obdurately derelict in their duty of care to serve the best interests of those who elect them – and who pay their salaries – and studiedly indifferent to any and all wise counsel.
You might as well try explaining to a kleptomaniac that stealing is wrong as try and reason with the majority of today’s politicians. The correct way to fix this problem is to facilitate the demise of the major political parties by any means possible – nothing else will suffice to deal with the many serious issues that we face.
At nearly 77 years of age, and spent most of it in Australia’s eastern side and largely in outside occupations, I am very aware of my lifes climate journey, 25 years ago while spending time at Wyangala Dam NSW woke early feeling cold to hear on the morning news it had Snowed at Bathurst NSW Chistmas night and yet 20 years earlier when using a tent same date was 35 C @ 6 am outside the tent! The climate has always changed and nothing we can do will alter it!
Great article Professor Flint! All so true!
Conservatives if the World – UNITE! – SPEAK OUT LOUDLY! Sweep away the ordure that much of the media incessantly pump out!
Climate variations or changes are natural Earth Cycles and have taken place since time began, the Sahara Desert was once a green and fertile land, Australia up until about 130,000 years ago was covered in rainforests but today only about 3 per cent of rainforest remains and the rest are eucalyptus that tolerate the drier and hotter conditions that climate zone change resulted in.
However, arguing and/or debating with UN IPCC and their fellow travellers who push their climate hoax and warming trend creatively accounted for modelling (like the COVID modelling for inaccuracy, garbage in and garbage out) because it is not about climate and all about political agenda and wealth creation activities.
A number of UN Officials have admitted it and several publications have reported what they have said, for example;

Economic Systems: The alarmists keep telling us their concern about global warming is all about man’s stewardship of the environment. But we know that’s not true. A United Nations official has now confirmed this.
At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
The only economic model in the last 150 years that has ever worked at all is capitalism. The evidence is prima facie: From a feudal order that lasted a thousand years, produced zero growth and kept workdays long and lifespans short, the countries that have embraced free-market capitalism have enjoyed a system in which output has increased 70-fold, work days have been halved and lifespans doubled.
Figueres is perhaps the perfect person for the job of transforming “the economic development model” because she’s really never seen it work. “If you look at Ms. Figueres’ Wikipedia page,” notes Cato economist Dan Mitchell: Making the world look at their right hand while they choke developed economies with their left.

CO2 is plant food and is not a pollutant. If humans were responsible for the increase in CO2 we should keep doing it because the world is greening and agricultural output is increasing. But unfortunately humans are NOT responsible for the increase in CO2. It is entirely natural. Two proofs show this beyond doubt.
Firstly in 2020 human emissions of CO2 dropped by 30%. There was no drop in atmospheric concentrations or in the rate of their increase.
Secondly several papers were published in 2020 by atmospheric physicists showing the increase in CO2 was mainly natural. It could not be otherwise because natural emissions of CO2 are about 97% of the annual CO2 emissions. You cannot cause an increase beyond the % of your contribution and since humans emit about 3% of the annual CO2 emissions, that’s it. The alarmists tried to say that nature was in balance with CO2 emissions being matched by the CO2 sinks and the amount absorbed by them. This is BS. Nature is never in balance.
If humans are not responsible for the increase in CO2 they cannot be responsible for the climate effect of CO2, which is negligible in any event, but that is another story.
And to put that into perspective the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is .041%. Which mean human activity contributes .00123% of the whole. I actually think that 3% is too high but even so…. The last time Mount Etna burped it is estimated the event put 10,000 years of human activities worth of CO2 into the atmosphere. A sustained eruption like Mount ST Helens pumps 10 x that into the atmosphere. There is currently an Icelandic eruption near Reykjavik which started on 19th March 2021, and is ongoing. If CO2 is such a greenhouse gas and if, as we are continually being told, the climate is on a knife edge, you would think we would have fallen over that edge by now. Apparently not.
And to put human contribution emissions compare China and Australia;
China – 30% of world emissions output
Australia – 1.3%
Wuflu, vaccine mandates, Net Zero, Climate Alarmism, Trans-rights, BLM, New wave Feminism… Call them what you like, they are all from the same school of thought – The Frankfurt School. Collectively they are know as repressive tolerance and have the stated aim of breaking society down and rebuilding it in the ‘glorious’ image of Marxism. That is why all the LINOS need to be purged if we are to beat the red wave.
We need to get behind the minor parties. One Nation, United Australia, Australia One, and others. It doesn’t matter. The only way we will defeat these corrupt politicians is by the law and through the ballot box. We all need to support the minor parties. Support, join, donate, volunteer, vote. And the minor parties must find all their common ground and work together.
