The Earth’s climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years. Historical empirical evidence shows there is nothing unusual or unprecedented about our current temperatures or weather events.
Climate science has been hijacked by special interest groups pushing ideological societal change, rent-seekers wanting to profit from taxpayer subsidies and politicians looking for easy new ways to tax its citizens. Most alarmingly, once highly regarded agencies such as the CSIRO and BOM, have allowed themselves to become a part of the climate change industry and have failed to provide government with robust competent science advice, upon which to base policy.
“There is no empirical evidence that directly links CO2 as the direct cause of any change in climate.”
This lack of vigorously tested evidence has allowed governments to create policy that is permanently damaging our once cheap and reliable electricity system. Our manufacturing industries are disappearing overseas, families are struggling to pay their exorbitant power bills, and our once reliable electricity system is on its knees, due to intermittent wind and solar being forced into the grid by government regulations. Even our children are not safe from this alarmism, with eco-anxiety finding its way into the innocent world of our children.
After a decade of study into climate science, along with in-depth research into the UNIPCC, CSIRO and BOM, I know there is no valid scientific data proving cause-and-effect from human carbon dioxide and temperature increases.
CSIRO has also stated that there is no danger to us from increasing human carbon dioxide levels and that there is nothing unprecedented about our weather patterns. Therefore there is no scientific justification for any government to introduce policies designed to reduce our carbon dioxide output.
Senator Roberts calls for all climate-based policies and subsidies for renewable energy to be rescinded. The consequence of this alarmism costs the Australian economy in productivity and growth, and our ability to compete on the international stage.
