LtE's 7/3 - Thursday Afternoon Edition

Very well said and I thoroughly agree with your letter and its sentiments.

A great indictment of journalism, Jennifer.

If the “greenies” at the Climate Clowncil believed their own rhetoric, they’d lead by example and live carbon-free lives, (Greenies call out ‘dirtiest’ wheels, 07/03).

They don’t, such hypocrites never do; they’ll happily sit at the pointy end of aircraft on the way to luxury-resort climate conferences that they’d attend via Zoom if they were genuine.

The people they take their beliefs from fly to those conferences on private jets, which release more emissions in one trip than my ute will in a decade.

The climate alarm belief system is based on repeated loud assertions and is easily debunked with facts and evidence.

Its most devout adherents are Greens voters and Greens, Labor, and Liberal politicians.

If you’ve realised they’ve lied all along and you want cheap power and fuel back, along with more affordable utes, only One Nation is on your side.

Reef alarmism sure is profitable for a select few academics and virtue-signallers but we only learned a few years ago that it’s very damaging to small-scale tourism ventures, (Reef action for take-off, 07/03).

Remember the “Reef is dead” story that started locally, spread worldwide, and resulted in millions of dollars in cancellations?

The Reef is not remotely “threatened”: it’s the best-preserved marine system on the planet and it’s recently had record coral cover.

“Emissions” (of carbon dioxide) don’t affect the Reef because (a) CO2 cannot “trap heat”, and (b) re-radiated long-wave infrared radiation cannot penetrate water.

Ocean temperature is an artefact of sunlight and subsea volcanic and tectonic activity, both of which are controlled by the sun’s cycles.

All corals are “thermally tolerant” which is why warmer seas host more coral species than cooler waters.

Bleaching is corals’ evolutionary superpower, allowing it to adapt to changes in temperature, salinity, insolation, food availability, etcetera, far more quickly than other species.

To claim that coral “cannot adapt fast enough to warming ocean temperatures” is to completely misunderstand the purpose of bleaching.

If Qantas wants to squander shareholders’ money on a greenleft non-issue that’s up to them, but shareholders should be asking some serious questions of the board.

If you’d like more common sense and less ideological idiocy in environmental narratives, One Nation is here to help achieve that objective.

Your article notes that melioidosis is very uncommon in healthy adults … but can occasionally occur in … people on medication that lowers their immune system, (“Floodwater bacteria claims father of two”, 07/03). 

An increasing number of people around the world know of a new common medication that lowers the immune system – the Covid shots that so many were coerced into taking.

At this point, when a younger person suffers an unexpected death from a rare disease or a heart issue or a “turbo cancer”, the default question has to be “how many shots did he or she have”? 

On the limited accurate data that has been extracted from various governments, about one in 800 people who took the shots were killed by them. 

Far more are being killed by diseases that are getting past jab-weakened immune systems.
