Ordinary Nuts and Bolts Australians are cheering you on Matt, I myself cannot thank you enough for your courageous stand against a PM, who is showing Australians that he is a Dictator by not going to the people on this Climate Madness. Surely we the people should give him a one way plane ticket to China and install in his place a fair dinkum Aussie as PM. You know a fair dinkum Aussie like Matt Canavan.

MC thank you.

As you say, Australia is merely a pawn in a much bigger game, one that has been going on for three decades.

If Machiavelli set out to devise a strategy to drive the greatest wealth transfer in history, monetizing “climate change” on the pretext of saving planet Earth from an anthropogenic apocalypse would be at the top of his list.

The UN has morphed into a global "climate controller" driven by pseudoscience The developing world is determined to game the warming scare for as many billions as possible.

Great article, Matt. I agree that the problem is the bureaucrats who will make life hard for those that want to be productive.

Increasing levels of CO2 lead to increased yields of all the crops we grow for food and more grass for the animals. This may well be the Lords solution to feeding the increasing population in his world.

Keep up the fight Matt.

Much Todo about nothing, there is more evidence to say CO2 change is an effect not a cause but nobody wants to know.

If anyone believes coal and oil are dead, they might want to read this article by Jamie Seidel, particularly what energy expert, Dr Lurion De Mello from Macquarie University has to say about fossil fuels https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/mining/china-is-refusing-to-back-down-over-aussie-coal-but-how-long-can-it-last/news-story/72fc53daedd943672268a77fe7d54b48

Dr De Mello is only one of many, many economists and analysts that cannot see a logical pathway to excluding fossil fuels in the short to medium term or even possibly, the long term.

No one is saying we shouldn’t develop alternative energy sources - we should - but it needs to be in a time frame that is logical and makes sense for each respective nation, not a mandate from the UN with fixed, short-term binding targets. Fossil fuels won’t last forever, and they are polluting, but they are also the most energy dense source of fuel by a country mile, which makes them extremely efficient - and reliable. Currently, renewable energy sources are very inefficient, unreliable, and require a complex energy grid just to function. We have a long way to go, but will no doubt get there in the end.

Regardless of where people stand on Net Zero, or the climate debate in general, Net Zero is a political smokescreen that is impossible to bring to fruition in the allotted time frame without massive economic implications (already projected to cost at least US$150-170 trillion just to 2050, and will add at least 1-3% inflation every year for the next 30 years on top of underlying inflation, which is rising rapidly around the globe. The risk to economic stability is huge). In fact the entire construct of global warming, in its current form, is 100% politics, and has little to nothing to do with science.

The IPCC is a political organisation, not a centre of scientific excellence, and the climate scientists that author the IPCC reports are invited to contribute, just so long as they subscribe to the UN interpretation of global warming (carbon dioxide centric models that all but exclude natural climate drivers - the natural climate didn’t stop functioning when carbon dioxide levels began to rise).

The IPCC is part of the UN, now a power hungry globalist organisation that once served an enormously valid purpose on the world stage following the end of two horrendous World Wars. Now it is a powerful organisation full of faceless unelected bureaucrats that seek to control every stakeholder within the global economy. Their tactics include threatening foreign trade deals with dissenting nations, and creating mandates that have increasing legal veracity.

If anyone wants to know why Net Zero is all about restructuring the global economy in the image of a socialist model, feast your eyes on the UN and World Economic Forum’s ideologies. They hide nothing. It is all there in plain sight and Climate is the nucleus of it all, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it.

At this point in time, western leaders are lining up in lock-step with their peers, willingly subscribing to the UN’s homogenized global construct, and it needs to stop - now.

Well said Matt this climate change madness is stupid Australia isn’t the problem it’s the big polluters such as China Russia USA the world wakes up and stands together our small amount is like a bee fart ,people of Australia need to get rid of the greens and get rid of the radical left who use the greens and ,I would mind betting that Rudd Turnbull ect was complies set up ready to make massive money with climate change products and unless we go hydro or nuclear we are going to push around by these dick heads like puppets we need a clear direction and labour is disgraceful in the sheepish copy cat managed bullshit ,it’s about time to stand up and be strong,we are in fantasy land tip towing through the tulips

Last winter, in one of the bleakest places on earth after Canberra a novel hypothesis was proposed by a rogue researcher in lockdown: the more anthropogenic hot air spoken in the northern hemisphere before a United Nations climate conference, the colder it becomes in the southern hemisphere, especially at the South Pole.

I am in a great deal of alarm that Australia does not pursue burning coal with Zero Emissions.

I am also of the belief that this has been achieved by a small outfit in Queensland and how easy would it be to stop all this BS and get on with burning coal with zero emissions and life would hopefully return to normal when electric power is guaranteed.

Federal ICAC with retrospective powers. How about that Matt?

Elon Musk, a considered genius has earned his opinion & dedicated his life work to this cause.

Apart from political agenda, the premise of net zero is correct, but there is really no real solution given in this model.

It's recycling the same thing and expecting a different result as the government just continues to add our name to incredibly significant contract's, behaving as though someone let the village idiot out.

Things like nuclear submarine contracts and no independent or any consultation, except with the parties who hold vested interest.

It's not politics, it's the sale of our democracy.

We need to follow innovation, whilst we have destroyed our economy, Elon Musk is launching reusable rockets and rolling out affordable electric cars.

See the difference?

"Elon Musk Launches $100M Contest to Fight Climate Change"

The prize will be the largest innovation incentive in history.

The contest is open to students, scientists and engineers globally.

Even as we race to get to net zero, the climate math tells us that we must also accelerate the development and deployment of solutions that can be carbon negative.

The winning team must demonstrate how their technology can eventually remove 10 gigatons of CO2 annually by 2050'

I'm in support of a solution and Elon Musk has put forward an excellent representation of global sustainability, including an incentive to a solution.

Not a punishment system like our net zero model.

We need to support projects such as this.

We can't continue to argue about mining fossil fuels when we know the research is so tainted by greed and profit.

It's time to focus on actual solutions that are fair in their execution and beneficial to everyone.

The government needs to work in collaboration with their own communities.

This problem is different to every nation.

It can't be given a one size fits all solution because it's simply put not viable.

Tokenism is the real pandemic

If China, India, Russia and a few others (making up about 50% of global emissions) don’t commit to Net Zero, then the misguided others will be facing the need to double the scale of their efforts to achieve the pious result of Net Zero by 2050. That’s the logic. Likely or unlikely? Easy answer there.

Great Work Matt. Resign from the coalition. Bring down the government. You will be a hero!

1. Scaremongering about China. - They are showing off to scare the world. Our submarine response is a chess piece move as is the hyper sonic missile test. The US already has this capability.

2. Our ancestors did not know about climate change.

3. The current oil crisis in Europe is Brexit based - reduced oil production to force up prices due to lost revenue because of Covid.

4. Brexit caused a shortfall of immigrant European based truck drivers and their refrigerated trucks.

5. We currently live in a Monarchy not a republic.

6. We are putting our generations importance above our long term future for the sake of the dollar.

7. Covid debt is necessary.

8. If we adopt the same Black (not green) attitude as Russia, China or India we are morally no better than they are.

9. We have a chance to a good thing for our future.

10.If you are so right why is Murdoch backing Net Zero ? He is a capitalist !

11. Wake up Coal is dead and so is your re-election future!
