Saturday night, I was eating chocolates at Catherine’s (remember my friend who tutors kids in maths), when Rowan phoned. Not any Rowan. The Rowan Dean from Sky Television. He was working late. We had just been talking about him at dinner, because I was meant to be on his Sky TV ‘Outsiders’ program the next morning, […]
The Great Barrier Reef – Still Colourful Corals and Curious Fish What is the true state of the Great Barrier Reef?

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology deleted what was long regarded as the hottest day ever recorded in Australia, Bourke’s 125°F (51.7°C) on Sunday, January 3, 1909.

But, of course, the ABC is not included within the ACMA’s inquiry on […]
I remember through the 1970s, we were meant to run out of oil, soon. In fact, as long as I can remember we have been running out of oil, soon. Instead, oversupply is such that the benchmark for US oil fell below zero for the first time ever a couple of days ago. That is, […]
MY friend Craig Kelly – the Federal member for Hughes – attempted to raise the issue of the world’s longest heat wave record in the Australian parliament last Wednesday. He was shut down by Tony Burke, the manager of opposition business. Specifically, Mr Kelly was attempting to draw attention to how the historical observations have […]
IPA Senior Fellow Dr Jennifer Marohasy presents this short film which allows Australians to see for themselves that claims that the Great Barrier Reef is in crisis are not true. A key claim in a January 2016 article in the scientific journal, Nature, is that there are no longer any living colonies of Acropora – […]
Did you know that polar bear numbers have increased by around 400% since the 1950s? What about that carbon dioxide makes up only 0.04% of the earth’s atmosphere, and only a fraction of that is caused by humans. Surely you’ve been told about the numerous failed climate predictions of the past and the reality that […]
