Relax! Bill Gates has called an end to the Climate doom. “No temperate country is going to become uninhabitable”.

Thank you for your excellently researched piece, especially the red NSW bit - I'm a sucker for scary colour.

Enjoyed the article you linked. I want to write shorter articles like that but have terrible self-discipline.

On the article, thanks, I'd have to credit Bill for the line. I'd like to write longer articles but I have terrible self-discipline :)

There's a lot of content to comment on in there...

Firstly, I want to congratulate you on getting through the heatwave. I see the BOM "Heatwave Service" is advising "No Warnings Current" for NSW, which is fantastic. In fact there are "No Warnings Current" all over Australia, even in that reddest bit. http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/heatwave/

The statement by NSW health (if genuine - can't find in the first google page) is reprehensible - most people coming out of winter LOVVVVE a warm spring day. 30C isn't going to hurt anyone with any condition - they'll be outside basking it up.

On the equatorial Asians and Africans drinking sweet hot tea, I often think that about the Indonesian coral, and about the trial of putting coral in very hot mangrove water in North Queensland, finding it grew well. And it brings to mind a trip to Central Australia in July when we were wearing shorts and t-shirts and the shop girls were dressed in full Melbourne black to keep warm.

On ACMA's misinformation and disinformation act I'm very disappointed to read that government is to be excluded. My whole submission was based on catching them out - I thought they would read it and immediately implement - but maybe not now. And I've possibly "harmed the integrity" of yet more government institutions in a post just yesterday,

Schedule 9, Part 1, Section2, Harm Definitions

(c) harm to the integrity of […] government institutions;

even though I thought it was more like 'pointing out failings in integrity' because they either have integrity or they don't, so I'm in deep trouble.

Regarding your coastline siting, good planning. I want to advise that the earth has just started spinning more quickly after a long period of slowing down. Some people think that the slowing was about the earth actually expanding, so if it's spinning faster now it might be shrinking a bit and the sea water might come rushing. Food for thought. Get the board ready.

Regarding the siting of people's houses in the bush, yes. We did lose our house in the 2009 bushfires in Victoria. I had looked at the trees around me and thought 'yep' if those trees burn our house is going to burn. And I sort of looked forward to the day so I could build something more resilient. The bushfire was expected, the absolute sh** that came after it was not - 40 days locked out of the property - and idiots felling their 'enemy' - why didn't they just go and live in the paddocks? I might buy some cheap-as-chips property in the outback - sounds good.

I really enjoyed your writing till now.

That image you received in your inbox is a computer generated image from a weather modelling site, one I have been using for 23 years. More to the point, despite the claims it is "Propaganda", that forecast image is correct at the time it was produced. The model forecast below is for 1600hrs Sunday afternoon based on the GFS data from the global 00Zulu sounding runs, can it change, it can go either way.

The statement "Jessica is the “artist”, formerly known as a “journalist”, who “designed” this “creative piece of propaganda”, lacks the integrity you demand of others. I will always support the anti establishment view but be like them and I will call it out. Simply because, if we are to claim we are better than them, we have to be.

True dissidents call each other out. I do the same so you are welcome here to do so.

Give me a historical weather map that was used in Australia, older than 5 years, with similar extremly red clours for a temperature range between 20C and 34C and you prove your point. Maybe my memory sometimes serves me badly, but I could swear they made it much redder than it used to be.

Of course, the model forecast predicts the right temperatures. I never claimed it was fraudulent. If you read carefully, I only attack the use of more extreme colors while printing the temperature really small. This is the "subtle "propaganda, imo. People glance at a wether map like that and really believe this is a terrible heat wave when it is not.

I totally refute that I was to harsh with Jessicaa. To start with, it is obviously a sarcastic article so you can't take these comments literally and out of context. And I think she was creative with the truth but we don't need to agree on that.

So happy someone actually challenged me. The downside of Substack is that it is a total echo chamber with virually no debate happening.

I don't think you are alone strugging with my climate change articles. I got less likes and more unsubsribes than usual. I am not surprised. Simarlarily, when I challenged Christianity, I got pushback and unsubsribes. Climate became almost religious in it's controversity.

And I said it in the article: The climate "fear" will capture (or have captured) even more people than the Covid fear. Especially younger people with no meaning and purpose who haven't found their true spiritual calling yet. Being part of the "save the planet" movement feels great and meaningful. And it is a great thing to do. I fully support it.

But in their blind enthusiasm they become ignorant to the fact that this honest, positive drive has been weaponized and is used by the globalists to gain more power, control and wealth once again. You idealistic planet-savers are played. But not much longer. Bill just gave you all the boot. Coming in my next article.

Will that stop me writing about it and challenging the current brainwashing and lies? No way. It is called independent writing. As soon I adjust my articles to what people like or don't like I am as corrupt as Jessica. I hope you can handle a bit of friction and don't run for the unsubsribe button straight away. Like I said, I love a respectful debate.

FWIW, I thought it was very balanced and "calm" and "gentle" take on the issue. LoL, maybe because I'm a bit of a radical with no patience for bulsh*t.

"Give me a historical weather map that was used in Australia, older than 5 years, with similar extremly red clours for a temperature range between 20C and 34C and you prove your point. " Thanks for your reply, with all due respect, any maps other than the two in the post and the linked one I provided are irrelevant. My point was proven. the map I linked is from the “Brisbane Storm Chasers Homepage (BSCH) which is where SMH obtained its map, compare the two, its quite evident on inspection that SMH cropped all the identifiers off the bottom of the map they published establishing it is not a BOM map that was colored in by a journalist as implied, sarcasm aside. So, the partly coloured map obtained from the BOM used for the comparison, this is an event related product, it is labelled "Heat Wave Map", These products have been like this for years, they are selectively colored for the region the "warned event" will affect, just like this one for southern NSW. http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN21037.shtml

The localised threat product ensures authorities outside the warned area don't stand up unnecessary resources such as RFS, Fire, Police, Ambulance and SES among other things that occur at every level of government. These maps as you have seen are different to the general forecast maps the BOM has adopted in their online space. http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/meteye/ .

“I don't think you are alone struggling with my climate change articles.” I am not struggling with anything. I have been involved in this space for over twenty six years, the fear porn has been evident long before then, they started in the sixties when the Club of Rome was pushing the new “Ice Age”, “Population growth” and “Sustainable” consumption. People have been exposed to the propaganda for that long it is now inter-generational messaging reinforced by the media and education system. Parents lack the critical thinking skills and willingness to do due diligence because they have been taught to “believe” what they see and hear on TV and in the media. I expect nobody to change to appease anyone. Debate and free speech is something we should all enjoy whilst ensuring, the right of reply without resorting to belittling or abuse.

Thanks for the update. Yes, I have been on the Brisbane stormchasers web-page while researching because BSCH was given as source. At the time I didn't find the red map so I didn't mention it.

I just re-read what I wrote and you are right: It implies that I accuse that Jessica made this red map, in a light-hearted satiracal way, but nevertheless. I should have been more acurate. I will learn from that.

Especially because it wouldn't have made any difference to make my point using the accurate source of the map. The point being, that weather maps did become much redder recently., in my observations. It just shows that a number of people and organisations play along with the panic propaganda.

Anyway, as my latest post shows, this is yesterdays snow and it is already melting. Bill Gates has moved on form climate panic and stabbed all net zero zealots and panic pandas in the back by now denying that we are in any immediate serious trouble - red map or not. Phew - how would we know what to think without good old Bill who has our best interest at heart. Take care.

All good, I dunno about the maps becoming more red, BSCH do not maintain that site any more, they have a new business and have adopted the MetEd service and the red has been reduced. I agree, the propagandising by the SMH is not acceptable, it is obvious why they used the map they did without providing any information to the reader as to what it all means. They are all guilty of it. Yea Bill is the most dangerous man on the planet right now and people don't quite get it. You take care as well. Remember, we are all in this together LOL!

I particularly appreciate the description of the 'trance awakening art form', as this is perhaps the most effective (or only) way through to people still living in the Fear. Well said.

This sentence in your reply to SD also stood out as particularly insightful to me: "Especially younger people with no meaning and purpose who haven't found their true spiritual calling yet." It reminds me of Chesterton's "When Man ceases to worship God he does not worship nothing but worships everything".

Brilliant MA MU, just brilliant! "...if there is a 100% emission ...(missing: "reduction" ?) of CO2..." And, as a plumber once said: "Panta rhei"... LoL thanks heaps.

News.com.au's version of "journalistic integrity".

Like "responsible teenager" or "thinking Leftist" the 2 words don't belong in the same sentence.

Artistic license indeed. Who could ever forget Johns Hopkins Covid blood spatter map.

This is their sneering way of telling the Public their intelligence level is better served with picture books because reading comprehension is beyond them.
