The Hilight – Professor Ian Plimer introduced his new book The End of the World, a book which analyses why so many baselessly believe the world is in danger.
CPAC Australia chairman Warren Mundine opened the event with a strong statement on the importance of free speech.
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss appeared, and painted a dark picture of how Net Zero was undermining Western economies. Truss made a strong case that the green movement is rebranded socialism.
There was a lot of praise for President Trump – I particularly liked Senator Alex Antic’s praise for Trump moving the Overton window, making it possible to have mainstream discussions which would have been unthinkable in most circles before 2016.
Senator Bridget McKenzie had a lot to say about the importance of free speech. But she still appears to believe that some form of watered down censorship is desirable, that the risks can be managed by appointing the right bureaucrats. A disturbing statement from a leading figure in Australia’s center right.
Senator Matt Canavan spoke of the importance of free speech.

Legendary geologist Professor Ian Plimer spoke about the journey which had led him to write his books. If you ever have the chance I thoroughly recommend seeing Professor Plimer speak in person, he has an absolute passion for using the light of truth and reason to save the children of Australia and the world from the nightmare of climate anxiety. Professor Politer pointed out that all previous ice ages started when CO2 was higher than today. He pointed out that our current ice age, the Late Cenzoic Ice Age, started 34 million years ago, and still holds the world in its grip.
Many of us read Heaven and Earth, but he has also written many other books, many of them aimed at educating children. How to get expelled from school upset the Rudd government so much they actually funded a website to try to “refute” Plimer’s points. Not for greens, about how many inventions we take for granted in our high energy society literally saved our lives – such as how the invention of Stainless Steel cutlery replaced toxic alternatives which were literally killing the poor people who used such utensils. Climate change delusion and the great electricity ripoff, about the colossal environmental damage “green” energy causes. Green murder – actions of greens are killing people. His little green book trilogy, one of which is aimed at young children. And of course is new book – The End of the World, Climate Change and its anxieties.
MP Keith Pitt spoke about the catastrophic economic damage green energy is doing to the Australian economy. 13000 businesses have suffered insolvency since the current hard green administration came to power. To add to the irony, Coal is now Australia’s biggest export commodity, generating 300,000 jobs and over 100 billion dollars in revenue for the Australian economy. The same coal Australia’s governments are trying to ban at home, is going out the door as fast as we can dig it up. He mentioned coal a lot in that speech. He also mentioned nuclear – “I’m not going to talk about nuclear, we like it it works”.
Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce spoke about how Government make mistakes. The Dutch once thought you could run an economy on tulips. Governments do crazy things. Sadly now it’s our turn – companies are being forced to purchase unaffordable green energy, and are passing those costs on to consumers.
Battleground Melbourne reminded us of the horrors of the Covid lockdown.
Right wing Glaswegian comic Leo Kearse spoke. He explained to the audience why climate protestors who glue themselves to things doesn’t happen in Glasgow, “Within half an hour all their valuables would be stolen and someone would have their pants down and… ” I think you get the idea.
The Outsiders, a major Aussie Sky News talkshow, hosted a session at CPAC. Former British Prime Minister Liz truss demanded the repeal of the Climate Change Act.
Former Federal minister Gary Hardgrave spoke on the importance of values. Coal can deliver cheap energy, but way too many politicians in mainstream parties still think renewables are the solution.
My friends from Epoch Times were there, telling everyone who would listen about the importance of free speech.
At the end of the conference after I made a fun and interesting comment to the audience, Professor Ian Plimer said “They used to shoot people like you”. I’m sure he meant it as high praise, right?
There were many other speakers, and I’m sorry to those I haven’t named, many of whom criticised renewables and praised efforts to roll back green communism. But a few of the speakers said things which showed me and I think many others in the audience that we have a long way to go. I don’t think Australia is utterly lost, as many are starting to fear might be the case in Britain, but like the USA we Australians hang on a knife edge, and could still fall either way. Let’s hope enough people of good sense wake up and fight for what is important, before it is too late.

Why is the Telegraph publicising this propaganda?
Humanity has missed its chance of keeping global warming below 1.5C and it will take “heroic efforts” to stay below 2C this century, the scientist leading the global effort to understand climate change has warned.
Jim Skea, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said a failure to sufficiently curb carbon emissions had left the world on track to warm by 3C by 2100. This average masks variations between land and sea, with western Europe and the UK facing even greater warming – perhaps as much as 5C by the end of the century.
“We are potentially headed towards 3C of global warming by 2100, if we carry on with the policies we have at the moment,” said Skea.
“Obviously temperature rises over land will be higher than over the ocean. We don’t know how warm it will get [over land] but I know it may be more than the global average.”
The Met Office has tried to project the UK impacts. By 2070, it says, winters will be up to 4.5C warmer but 30pc wetter, meaning more flooding. Summer will be up to 6C warmer, with frequent droughts and surging numbers of heat-related deaths.
Skea said: “It’s very clear climate change is no longer decades in the future. It’s very obvious it’s happening now, so we need to adapt.”
Skea has benefitted very nicely from the climate scam, with his role at the Committee on Climate Change and appointment as Professor of Sustainable Energy at Imperial College London, so he was a natural for his new job as Chair of the fraudulent IPCC.
But how can anybody be taken seriously who claims with a straight face that “summer will be up to 6C warmer” by 2070.
In reality, UK summers have warmed on average by less than a degree since the 1930s. More importantly, there has been no increase in the temperature of the hottest summers since the 1970s. The tiny rise in average temperatures is mainly due to the relative absence of the unusually cold summers, which were commonplace in the 1950s and 60s particularly.
A rise of 6C would mean that Birmingham will be as hot as the French Riviera is now. This is a meteorological impossibility. The reason why the Riviera gets much hotter in summer is because the sunshine is much stronger at that latitude.
The other claims are equally absurd- for instance “more frequent droughts in summer”, when long term rainfall trends have changed little since 1840:
It is little wonder that most of the world have ignored the pronouncements and threats from the IPCC, and continue to merrily keep pumping out more emissions every year, when they see this palpable nonsense regurgitated every year.

The CFS expects a somewhat cool and wet October across western Europe this year. Ground surface frost has already been widespread.
Hat-tip Snowfan
Chart: NOAA
As the chart above depicts, the deviations of the 2m temperatures from the globally valid WMO climate mean 1991-2020 are expected to be around 0°C. Above-average precipitation is expected.
This could be a snowy October at times for the higher altitudes in Germany… It’s a good thing that the gas storage facilities in Germany are almost full to the brim at 96% ahead of the third Russian attack winter in a row… Source: CFSv2 forecasts TA2m and precipitation Europe.
The ECMWF long-term forecasts also predict October 2024 will be quite cool across Central Europe, especially in the first half.
Cold Atlantic sea surface
The North Atlantic sea surface temperature between Iceland and Europe were cooled in the second half of September and offer less warming of the air layers close to the ground with westerly and north-westerly winds in western and central Europe: an indication of a rather cool October?
Source: Snowfan, NOAA reanalysis SSTA North Atlantic
The NOAA reanalysis shows the North Atlantic between Iceland and Europe in the second half of September 2024 to be undercooled compared to the global WMO climate mean 1991-2020.
With westerly to northwesterly winds, the near-surface subpolar air masses are warmed less than average, suggesting a cool October in western and central Europe.
