LtE's 13/2 - Tuesday Edition

The Cairns Post

Dr Nicole Sleeman, the small-g Green-left candidate for Cairns’ Division Six, mentions the well-understood phenomena called “urban heat islands”, (Letters, 13/02).

Many of Australia’s long-term weather stations were established in cool, green areas and over time have been surrounded by urbanisation.

That’s caused them to record warming trends that measure the built environment, not the climate.

The aggregation of those trends have been falsely described as “dangerous man-made global warming.”

They’ve been used deceptively to attack cheap, reliable electricity generation and to boost expensive, intermittent generation, which unnecessarily inflates our power bills.

Increasing power prices are a major part of the rising cost of living and must be reduced: only One Nation has a plan to do so.
