During the recent covid work-from-home era couples spent a lot more time together. That should have caused a baby boom. So why has the birthrate fallen dramatically in every country? Curious, Cairns
Lesley Clark (CP, 30/07) a central prediction of global warmies has been melting ice and rising seas. Many forecast dates for an ice-free Arctic have been and gone and the Arctic is still frozen. According to a story in this paper in the 1990s we were supposed to be the "Venice of the North" by now. None of it happened. Let it go, Lesley. It's a busted myth. Mariner, Portsmith
If global warming was real (Lesley Clark, 30/7), Cairns, Bungalow, Portsmith, Westcourt, Manunda, North Cairns, Woree, White Rock, Machans Beach, Holloways Beach, etc, would be knee deep in salt water in every high tide by now. I reckon we'd notice that and we'd be as convinced as you, Lesley. Juss Sayen, Cairns
Sure, juvenile criminals have "complex needs" (CP, 30/07), but those are best met in detention. It doesn't help the youth to have them rampaging around committing crimes that affect law-abiding people. Ask local legend Geoff Guest how it can be done safely and effectively. Chip, Mareeba
"Carbon negative beer"? What rubbish. Beer bubbles are CO2. If it were some other gas it wouldn't be beer. "Offsets" are virtue signalling nonsense. The whole crusade against "carbon" is just superstition and pseudo-religious piousness. Drinker, Cairns
RE - "Coal record on horizon" (30/7). In May the WEF reported that “coal-powered electricity generation rose by 9 per cent in 2021 to 10,042 Terawatt-hours (TWh), marking the biggest percentage rise since 1985”. Global coal-generated electricity increased by 908TWh in 2021. Australia's total electricity generation was around 265TWh in 2021. So the world increased its coal-fired generation, in one year, by more than three times our total electricity. Shutting down our remaining coal electricity will harm us a lot and help nobody at all. F.M.D. Yorkeys Knob
The Big Four climate change predictions for FNQ. Rising seas - didn't happen. More frequent and more intense cyclones - nup. Dead Reef - wrong. Cheaper power from renewables - no. So why do the so-called 'elite' still push it? It gives them power over us. To believe in man-made global warming is to give power to wealthy liars. Liz, Bentley Park
RE, Lesley Clark, 30/7. An expert team recently calculated transitioning to wind, solar and batteries would cost New Zealand $5 trillion. NZ emits about 0.1% of global CO2 emissions. We emit 1.1%. Therefore our transition costs would be $55 trillion - or about $2 million per man, woman and child. And the equipment wears out really quickly. Malcolm, Freshwater
Michael Barry Henderson. The flag you denigrate represents all of us, not just a racial minority. It represents an advanced civilisation that lifted racial minorities out of slavery and hunter-gather poverty. You have the free speech you enjoy because of the sacrifice of those who died defending this country under that flag. Letters like yours help the rest of us understand just how shallow, ignorant, and divisive the "progressive" left are. Matthew, Smithfield
I have a list of 50 dire predictions of climate change/global warming doom dating back to the 1970s, Lesley Clark (30/7), all reported in newspapers and none of which eventuated. In the absence of a testable hypothesis you need accurate predictions. You don't have them. All you have is hot air. JS, Edge Hill
Ha ha ha, the BOM has predicted a spell of above average temperatures (30/07). They did that just before the last cold snap. Weather Watcher, Trinity Beach
The depopulationist war-mongers of the Anglo-American globalist elite are desperate to trigger a global war, preferably a nuclear one (CP, 30/7). They have well-stocked luxury bunkers deep underground and they want to get rid of 95% of us. They know we're waking up to their Great Reset and we're going to resist it. Far easier to just delete us in a nuclear dust cloud. Realist, Mooroobool
Both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss (30/7) have WEF connections. Both will continue the UK's slide into ruin. They'll both be as bad as BoJo, but without the interesting character quirks. Pom, Whitfield
I wonder how long until "our" government follows globalist orders and cripples our food production by banning fertiliser to "save the world" from some non-existent problem? My bet is before the end of the year. Trevor, Mooroobool
The trouble with progressives, Lesley Clark, is that you try to solve problems that don't exist with solutions that don't work on behalf of people who profit enormously and we're all supposed to pay for that without questioning it. That's why you cop criticism. Grumpy, Mareeba
Remember when everyone finally knew pro-wrestling was fake and they admitted it but the fans didn't care and continued to watch it anyway for the entertainment value? We're pretty much there with politics and media. One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Dear Dr Phil Flint of Mission Australia (letters, 30/7). Hoping the government will fix the homelessness they created is wishful thinking. It might be more useful for you to tell the government to return to cheap energy and to back off the over-the-top tax and regulatory regime, because that's the only way to fight inflation. Economist, Cairns
“Just treat everybody like we’re bloody well Australian citizens,” said indigenous Senator Jacinta Price, backing up our Pauline (CP, 30/7). But no, the "progressive" left want to "progress" back to racial division. The Greens are becoming modern Australia's equivalent of the US Democrat's 1920s Ku Klux Klan. MW, Redlynch
The great Tucker Carlson, from the Cairns Post's US cousin Fox News, has noted that monkeypox is spread when men have sex with men and that the WHO wants to change the name from monkeypox because apparently that's racist to monkeys or something. So Tucker has named it "schlong covid". Bwa ha ha ha hah! Ancient Steve, Redlynch
The Baker Motor Vehicle company built battery-electric cars from 1899 to 1914 in Chicago and sold them all around the US. As now, they were fast and could be charged at home but they were heavy and expensive. Other than the battery chemistry, not much has changed. As now, consumers preferred internal combustion engines. History Guy, Freshwater

If the people who voted for Labor and the Greens turned off all their heaters, air-conditioners, fridges, freezers, TVs, phone chargers, lights, etc, they'd be doing something they believe will save the climate. So why won't they? Curious, Cairns
The Big Four climate change predictions for FNQ. Rising seas - didn't happen. More frequent and more intense cyclones - nup. Dead Reef - wrong. Cheaper power from renewables - no. So why do the so-called 'elite' still push it? It gives them power over us. To believe in man-made global warming is to give power to wealthy liars. Liz, Bentley Park
Karl Marx knew that to completely change a society that worked for everyone into one that gave all power to a dictator the first vital step was to destroy Christianity. That's why we now see letters such as Michael Barry Henderson's (1/8) criticising a belief system that he is clearly ignorant of. Aggie, Herberton
Queensland would have plenty of police (CP, 01/08) if it just dropped its covid vaccine mandates and allowed all those police still suspended over that issue back to work. We all know now that being vaccinated doesn't stop anyone catching or spreading covid. Juss Sayen, Cairns
So what you're saying, Mr Henderson, is that you've never read the Bible or the Tanakh and have no idea of the moral teachings within them. I can only conclude that you are equally ignorant of the other subjects on which you write. Stan, Brinsmead
Wait, what? Joe Biden has covid again? (CP, 1/8) But isn't he double-vaxxed and double-boosted? Brad, Atherton
If you want to understand climate change and the covid pandemic better you need to first understand eugenics. The elites don't want us on "their" planet. Wayne, Manoora
Exactly, JS (texts 1/8). Science is quantitative, repeatable and predictive. If one of those three is missing it's not science. Engineer, Brinsmead
Ruth (28/7), Lucas (1/8). Squadron Creek is a massive subsidy harvesting scheme that cannot and will not produce cheap or reliable energy. Before renewables, electricity wholesaled for less than $20/MWh. In the most recent AEMO report it averaged over $350/MWh. JS, Edge Hill
MB Henderson (1/8) the difference between the Climate Cult and Christianity is that the latter has some basis in reality and history. Jean, Mission Beach
The whole point of the current homelessness problem, which has been the direct consequence of absurd government policies, is to eventually herd people into mega cities where they will live in pods and eat insects. That makes them very easy to manipulate and control. WEF, Cairns
So Michael Barry hates the religion our civilisation is founded on, the flag our servicemen and women fought under, and the reliable energy our jobs rely on. I think Michael Barry would be happier in Afghanistan. Bye-bye, Michael Barry; don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out. Michelle, Stratford
BBC weather presenters are complaining about being trolled, after having a meltdown about a two-day heatwave and changing the traditionally green country graphics on their TV shows to various shades of red. Apparently "boomers" are just supposed to forget the longer, hotter heatwaves of the past and stop being "climate deniers". Pom, Whitfield
The ABC says the climate can be saved if global emissions are kept down at where they were during covid lockdowns. But the Keeling Curve shows that CO2 kept rising as normal during covid lockdowns. I voted Greens but I'm starting to doubt the narrative now. Bradley, Yungaburra
The state govt is giving $3,000 to rich people who can afford an electric car. I reckon they should be directing that money to housing for the poor. Andrea, Bungalow
Re Lesley Clark. The trouble with progressives is that they try to solve problems that don't exist with solutions that don't work on behalf of people who profit enormously and we're all supposed to pay for that without questioning it. That's why they cop criticism. Grumpy, Mareeba
Remember, while people are sleeping in cars the government will still hunt them for living in a shed. Government regulations often cause more problems than they solve. Mark One, Redlynch
There seems to be lots of relatively healthy people in their early 50s having sudden heart attacks recently. (CP, 1/8). But mostly among the fully vaccinated - if we're allowed to say that yet. Ian, Holloways Beach
(CP, 1/8). This campaign for "body positivity" is bizarre. Ugly people genuinely don't care about their appearance. If they did, they'd diet, exercise and get plastic surgery. Trying to force others to pretend to find them beautiful is ugly, lazy bullying. Chris, Cairns
Thunderstorms are basically open-cycle refrigeration systems, and they're the reason this water planet will never ever have runaway catastrophic man-made global warming. Mechanic, Smithfield
I've heard that some people want to bury CO2 to save the climate and build batteries to make renewables reliable, but since CO2 stores heat, wouldn't it be easier to store the CO2 in aboveground tanks coated with heat absorbing material and use that trapped heat to generate electricity on calm nights? Alexandra, Machans Beach

Asking for a friend, will newspaper readers who got vaccinated because they trusted their newspaper to have thoroughly researched the subject but who were injured by the vaccine be able to sue their newspaper since doctors and manufacturers are exempt from liability? Curious, Cairns
Re Wellcamp (letters, 2/8), that was $237 million of pure waste, particularly so when you understand that under our rules quarantine is solely a federal government responsibility. Terri, Clifton Beach
An annual car theft record was set (02/08) because soft woke lefties in the government and judiciary allow recidivist juvenile offenders to reoffend. Your home was invaded and your car was trashed because the government and judiciary put the rights of criminals who have not contributed to society above your rights as a productive member of society. Politicians know how to solve the problem, but they won't until we vote the legacy political parties out entirely. Juss Sayen, Cairns
"Medication breakdown" (2/8). The pharmaceutical industry is a creation of the modern era and wasn't needed to live to "three-score years and ten" (70yo) for almost all of human evolutionary history. Plenty of sunlight, exercise, whole foods, and herbal medicines were all we needed. That seemed to change in the 1700s with the first vaccines. Jason, Manoora
Basic physics proves atmospheric CO2 is an artefact of Henry's Law and solar-heated oceans. Humanity's contribution is too small to be 'the control knob for climate', even if several other Laws of physics didn't preclude that possibility. The ongoing denigration of CO2 is a long term plan to weaken and ultimately destroy Western nations. Notice that China, India and Russia ignore CO2 alarmism. Notice also which side our ALP and LNP and their bureaucracy is on. Patricia, Cairns
Has anyone noticed the depopulation agenda creeping into American media? And the attempts to normalise cannibalism? The 1973 film "Soylent Green" was set in 2022. The elites always use pop-culture to tell us what their plans are - that's part of their evil belief system. Kathy, Edmonton
There is one globalist "elite'' for every one million of us commoners. That elite minority is transferring your wealth to themselves under their "Great Reset". "You will own nothing and you will be happy" (or else...). Wake up, Australia - stop complying with inane health "mandates", reject the psyops, turn off the TV, embrace the "Great Awakening" and be part of the "Great Resist". CT, Cairns
Keith Hill, 2/8, masks don't stop virus transmission, but they do breed bacterial and fungal colonies. The prestigious Brownstone Institute has an article linking to 150 scientific research papers on the negative health consequences of masks. Gerald, Bungalow
Regarding the gas shortage (CP, 2/8), our politicians and bureaucrats are so insufferably incompetent and inept (or possibly corrupt) that China pays less for our gas than us Aussies do. Stuart, Yorkeys Knob
Nancy Pelosi (2/8) is a globalist who is doing her best to provoke a war. "Climate change" and "Covid-19" didn't collapse the economy to provide cover for "the Great Reset" but a world war might. Taggs, Caravonica
"Sustainability" (CP, 02/08) is a core globalist (World Economic Forum) concept of their "environmental, social and governance" agenda that is designed to ultimately transfer all money and power to a new royalty composed of WEF core members and "Young Global Leaders" - such as Senator Hanson-Young. Let that sink in. Perry, Gordonvale
Hang on, how can the US be "systemically racist" when a black women was a co-star of Star Trek from 1966 (2/8) and there was a black president for two terms? Elena, Westcourt
I read with interest your article "Resilience program to resume" in your August 2 edition, so I searched online for details. Here is the first sentence of what I found on the state's website. "The expansion of the Household Resilience Program is part of the first stage of the State’s economic reset coming out of COVID-19." I note the phrase "economic reset' with great concern because it mirrors the language of that unholy alliance of governments and corporations, which Benito Mussolini described as the definition of fascism, that meets in Davos, Switzerland, each year. I am beginning to think the conspiracy theorists have been correct all along. J. Williams, Whitfield
The ancient tribal shaman said 'give me tributes and the gods will give us better weather.' Modern governments say 'give me taxes and nature will give us better weather.' The masses are just as ignorant and superstitious now as we were in tribal times. William, Park Ridge
I admire the editorial optimism (2/8) but seriously, commonsense from government? Not gonna happen. LC, Bungalow
I have no idea who Orlando Bloom is. I stopped watching Hollywood when I first learned from Mel Gibson in the 1990s that Hollywood is full of pedophiles. Yolanda, Kamerunga
Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe is living in fantasy land (CP, 2/8). Prior to European settlement, Australia's native people had no sovereign or concept of sovereignty. They belonged to the land, the land did not belong to them. But they did fight the new arrivals and they lost. From the European perspective, that equated to a ceding of sovereignty. Thorpe is a prime example of why we need Voter Recall in Australia. History Guy, Freshwater
RE: hydrogen, (CP, 2/8). Hydrogen is the Houdini of molecules. It escapes any containment eventually. It is extremely difficult to drill for in the manner of hydrocarbon gas. It is a low-efficiency fuel and is exceptionally dangerous to use as a transport fuel where potential for tank rupture exists. If carbon dioxide were actually the problem the intelligentsia believe it to be, hydrogen is not the solution. Barry, Parramatta Park
On the British royalty (CP. 2/8), Prince Charles proudly announced he can trace his bloodline back to Vlad the Impaler (Count Dracula). It really is time we became a proper tripartite Republic, complete with elected President, judges and city and state officials. Republican, Cairns
Our parliaments have become puppet shows. The puppeteers are hidden behind a curtain of secrecy. Our future is being decided for us and against our best interests. Patriotism in parliament seems to be dead. At some point us ordinary people are going to need to engage to wrest our governments back. But our complacency is so pervasive I think a lot of us won't lift a finger until starvation starts to bite. Roger, Aeroglen

Bless the retired judge (CP, 03/09), but the government inflicts most of the mental health damage on our young people so is probably not the go-to body to fix it. Two years of intense harm via "Covid-19" and half a century of background harm via "climate change". To help the kids we need to cancel government alarmism. Juss Sayen, Cairns
To paraphrase Michael Barry Henderson (3/8) I've scoured the internet and I can't find a city the size of Cairns powered solely by wind, solar and batteries. Coal Hugger, Cairns
The Greens sure do live in a fantasy world. The WEF has reported that coal power in China grew in one year by more than four times Australia's total coal power. But the Greens' plan (3/8) is to export our remaining manufacturing jobs to China and to shut down our mines and farms. The Greens seem to love China and hate Australia. Spiro, Mareeba
"Rate rise to hurt Far North battlers" (3/8). Before the May election the RBA forecast that rates would not rise. Clive Palmer said they would. The RBA seems to be secretly political and worked to keep power within the Labor-Liberal Club. Suzanne, Edmonton
Re MB Henderson. Onslow has fewer than 1,000 residents, gets hotter than 50 C in summer, and has had cyclonic gusts exceeding 259 km/h. Let's hope they screwed those solar panels down real tight. Oh, its microgrid's record for powering the village without mains support is 80 minutes. Sandgroper, Cairns
John Schute got really close to the elephant in the room of secondhand EVs but somehow still missed it. Replacement batteries can cost as much as the secondhand value of the car and may be needed very soon after purchase. For that reason secondhand EVs are piling up in junkyards, and one of those in England covers many hectares. Pom, Whitfield
(CP, 3/8) "Last month was Australia’s deadliest since the Covid-19 pandemic began, with 1772 deaths across the country." Now do vaccine deaths. Lucky Phil, Mareeba
Lidia Thorpe is descended from "colonisers" (CP, 03/08). Her European ancestors colonised Australia against the wishes of third wave (Carpentarian) indigenous people. Her Carpentarian ancestors colonised Australia against the wishes of second wave (Murraysian) indigenous people. Thorpe seems to know more about Marxism than she does her own history. History Guy, Freshwater
In the US, 3.3 million battery electric and hybrid vehicle owners have received "park outside" recall notices. This occurs when manufacturers identify a trend in a vehicle to catch fire even when turned off. In many cases they have no idea why they spontaneously ignite, but they do know they can burn the building down if parked inside. Mechanic, Smithfield

** Team, the Daily Mudrock has cancelled its text-the-editor section ... so letters may be reduced or non-existent for a bit. ** ........
For years I've bought the paper and opened it at the text the editor section. It was the section most likely to host some common sense. I've never done social media because it is the opposite of common sense. Those with common sense are quickly banned there. So swapping text the editor for social media removes my incentive to buy the paper. Au Revoir, Cairns
Well, I guess the only way the Communist Post could silence conservative voices was by killing off the text section and substituting comments from electronic media where no conservatives are allowed. Of course, that won't stop conservatism from growing - it's innate in thinking people. Spiro, Mareeba

"You can catch it again". That means the vaccines are NOT effective. Tell me again why I had to be sacked for refusing them? Chloe (Aged care professional), Kuranda
The plastic rubbish gathered from Reef waters mainly comes from Asia and is brought here by prevailing currents. Naturally our governments will want to ban water bottles, nets, rope and thongs here to fight that problem. Mariner, Portsmith
The NSW Teacher's Federation needs to be investigated for child abuse. (CP, 5/8). Trying to confuse children about sex with books about fictional genders and unhealthy lifestyles is sick and weird. People doing so belong in jail. Parent, Whitfield
That Reykjavik volcano recycled more much-needed carbon dioxide back into the biosphere in its first burp than humans have managed in all of history. Juss Sayen, Cairns
Climate alarmists have never have been environmentalists. That's just a skinsuit they wear to hide their communism. Ned, Caravonica
Jody of Innisfail - the TV is your problem. Turn it off permanently. Look out the window. Do you see global floods, heatwaves, droughts and hurricanes? No, you'll see normal weather the same as everyone else. It's not a climate emergency unless it's everywhere. Climate alarmism is just isolated weather events boosted by increasingly desperate TV stations. Marion, Atherton
Australia is just one coal-fired power plant closure away from permanent rolling blackouts. Close two and we will experience "grid black" during the next wind drought. It can take weeks to restart a grid. What do you think that will do to inflation, power prices, fuel costs, grocery bills and business profits? Our politicians believe things that are simply not true and they are leading us to an economic disaster. Electrical Engineer, Brinsmead
Climate change is now a mental illness. It mostly afflicts those on the left, but also some on the right. I'm serious - only the insane can believe a trace gas from one of the world's cleanest countries can control the climate but the sun has nothing to do with it. Julie, North Cairns
Sensational weather today (Friday). Must be climate change. Al Ahmed, Mareeba
Michael Henderson, before academia went woke it was common knowledge that there were three waves of human settlement in Australia prior to European arrivals. The first wave were the Negritoes from Africa. They were almost completely annihilated by the Murraysians from Asia. And they were almost wiped out by the Carpentarians from India. It's easy to see why wokesters have worked hard to hide those facts. Mike, Bentley Park
.....
Once again we read an Albo quote (Samantha Maiden, 05/08) in which he claims "renewables are cheapest". If that were true, power prices would be trending down, not up. JS, Edge Hill
If you want the truth about climate, you need to get it from those whose job doesn't depend on climate being a problem that needs solving and therefore a source of government money. Lawson, Cairns
I would suggest "the age of criminal responsibility" is the age of being responsible for a crime. Amelia, Gordonvale
The Teal independents (5/8) lack diversity. Six rich white women and one rich white man - all funded into parliament by another rich white man. They don't represent Australians. Jeff, Whitfield
"A drunk driver killed ten, so everyone's cars must be confiscated" - said no gun control advocate ever. S Wesson, Cairns

OK, Michael Barry, you've made your mark on Cairns Post history as the Sovereign King of Self Contradiction, Tortured Logic and Historical Reinvention. All hail Michael Barry the Great Twistie. Without him we'd barely know the illogical left. History Guy, Freshwater
RE: Pharmaceutical scarcity (5/8). The government has had over 2.5 years to understand that most pharmaceuticals rely on inputs made in China and has done precisely nothing to reinvigorate domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing. No, they're too busy fussing about the temperature in 80 years, giving voices to the noisiest people, and teaching gender confusion to children. One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan wasn't sanctioned by the White House. She was there for some more insider trading and personal self-enrichment. The US would have had a better government if the Chinese had shot her plane down. Republican, Cairns
Oil is renewable. Oceanic methane lakes and refilling oil wells prove that. "Fossil" fuels was a Big Oil myth to allow price gouging. Ancient Steve, Redlynch
(CP, 5/8) Apparently Australia has secured 450,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine. Monkeypox is a sexually transmitted infection, specifically spread when men have sex with men. But just watch the government try to spread the fear to everyone, like they did with the 1980s grim reaper bowling AIDS ads. Brian, Cairns

Science Believer, five simple laws of physics disprove the “CO2 traps heat” claim. Planck’s Law - CO2 absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at the 14.8 microns wavelength. Wien’s Displacement Law and Kirchhoff’s Law of Thermal Radiation - the temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius. Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average surface temperature and is found in the lower stratosphere, well above the troposphere where we live. Second Law of Thermodynamics - heat doesn’t flow from cold zones to hotter zones. CO2 cannot “trap heat.” It merely delays outgoing infrared photons for a billionth of a second so high up in the atmosphere it’s irrelevant. It releases them at a less energetic frequency, and they continue on to outer space. Henry’s Law proves atmospheric CO2 is contingent upon seawater temperature. The hotter equatorial water is, the more CO2 it releases. Cold Arctic and Antarctic waters reabsorb it. Climate alarmism relies on "Believers", and silences real scientists. Physicist

Lesley Clark (CP, 30/07) a central prediction of global warmies has been melting ice and rising seas. Many forecast dates for an ice-free Arctic have been and gone and the Arctic is still frozen. According to a story in this paper in the 1990s we were supposed to be the "Venice of the North" by now. None of it happened. Let it go, Lesley. It's a busted myth. Mariner, Portsmith
If global warming was real (Lesley Clark, 30/7), Cairns, Bungalow, Portsmith, Westcourt, Manunda, North Cairns, Woree, White Rock, Machans Beach, Holloways Beach, etc, would be knee deep in salt water in every high tide by now. I reckon we'd notice that and we'd be as convinced as you, Lesley. Juss Sayen, Cairns
Sure, juvenile criminals have "complex needs" (CP, 30/07), but those are best met in detention. It doesn't help the youth to have them rampaging around committing crimes that affect law-abiding people. Ask local legend Geoff Guest how it can be done safely and effectively. Chip, Mareeba
"Carbon negative beer"? What rubbish. Beer bubbles are CO2. If it were some other gas it wouldn't be beer. "Offsets" are virtue signalling nonsense. The whole crusade against "carbon" is just superstition and pseudo-religious piousness. Drinker, Cairns
RE - "Coal record on horizon" (30/7). In May the WEF reported that “coal-powered electricity generation rose by 9 per cent in 2021 to 10,042 Terawatt-hours (TWh), marking the biggest percentage rise since 1985”. Global coal-generated electricity increased by 908TWh in 2021. Australia's total electricity generation was around 265TWh in 2021. So the world increased its coal-fired generation, in one year, by more than three times our total electricity. Shutting down our remaining coal electricity will harm us a lot and help nobody at all. F.M.D. Yorkeys Knob
The Big Four climate change predictions for FNQ. Rising seas - didn't happen. More frequent and more intense cyclones - nup. Dead Reef - wrong. Cheaper power from renewables - no. So why do the so-called 'elite' still push it? It gives them power over us. To believe in man-made global warming is to give power to wealthy liars. Liz, Bentley Park
RE, Lesley Clark, 30/7. An expert team recently calculated transitioning to wind, solar and batteries would cost New Zealand $5 trillion. NZ emits about 0.1% of global CO2 emissions. We emit 1.1%. Therefore our transition costs would be $55 trillion - or about $2 million per man, woman and child. And the equipment wears out really quickly. Malcolm, Freshwater
Michael Barry Henderson. The flag you denigrate represents all of us, not just a racial minority. It represents an advanced civilisation that lifted racial minorities out of slavery and hunter-gather poverty. You have the free speech you enjoy because of the sacrifice of those who died defending this country under that flag. Letters like yours help the rest of us understand just how shallow, ignorant, and divisive the "progressive" left are. Matthew, Smithfield
I have a list of 50 dire predictions of climate change/global warming doom dating back to the 1970s, Lesley Clark (30/7), all reported in newspapers and none of which eventuated. In the absence of a testable hypothesis you need accurate predictions. You don't have them. All you have is hot air. JS, Edge Hill
Ha ha ha, the BOM has predicted a spell of above average temperatures (30/07). They did that just before the last cold snap. Weather Watcher, Trinity Beach
The depopulationist war-mongers of the Anglo-American globalist elite are desperate to trigger a global war, preferably a nuclear one (CP, 30/7). They have well-stocked luxury bunkers deep underground and they want to get rid of 95% of us. They know we're waking up to their Great Reset and we're going to resist it. Far easier to just delete us in a nuclear dust cloud. Realist, Mooroobool
Both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss (30/7) have WEF connections. Both will continue the UK's slide into ruin. They'll both be as bad as BoJo, but without the interesting character quirks. Pom, Whitfield
I wonder how long until "our" government follows globalist orders and cripples our food production by banning fertiliser to "save the world" from some non-existent problem? My bet is before the end of the year. Trevor, Mooroobool
The trouble with progressives, Lesley Clark, is that you try to solve problems that don't exist with solutions that don't work on behalf of people who profit enormously and we're all supposed to pay for that without questioning it. That's why you cop criticism. Grumpy, Mareeba
Remember when everyone finally knew pro-wrestling was fake and they admitted it but the fans didn't care and continued to watch it anyway for the entertainment value? We're pretty much there with politics and media. One Tooth Wally, Cairns North
Dear Dr Phil Flint of Mission Australia (letters, 30/7). Hoping the government will fix the homelessness they created is wishful thinking. It might be more useful for you to tell the government to return to cheap energy and to back off the over-the-top tax and regulatory regime, because that's the only way to fight inflation. Economist, Cairns
“Just treat everybody like we’re bloody well Australian citizens,” said indigenous Senator Jacinta Price, backing up our Pauline (CP, 30/7). But no, the "progressive" left want to "progress" back to racial division. The Greens are becoming modern Australia's equivalent of the US Democrat's 1920s Ku Klux Klan. MW, Redlynch
The great Tucker Carlson, from the Cairns Post's US cousin Fox News, has noted that monkeypox is spread when men have sex with men and that the WHO wants to change the name from monkeypox because apparently that's racist to monkeys or something. So Tucker has named it "schlong covid". Bwa ha ha ha hah! Ancient Steve, Redlynch
The Baker Motor Vehicle company built battery-electric cars from 1899 to 1914 in Chicago and sold them all around the US. As now, they were fast and could be charged at home but they were heavy and expensive. Other than the battery chemistry, not much has changed. As now, consumers preferred internal combustion engines.
