31 January 2020, The Conversation, Media ‘impartiality’ on climate change is ethically misguided and downright dangerous. In September 2019, the editor of The Conversation, Misha Ketchell, declared The Conversation’s editorial team in Australia was henceforth taking what he called a “zero-tolerance” … Continue reading →

29 January 2020, The Guardian, Finding a way through the Overton climate window is the only way forward. Australia urgently needs political change. We must push for centrist, reasonable policies while still campaigning hard at the margins… To understand the moment … Continue reading →

25 October 2017, ABC News, Once were sceptics: What convinced these scientists that climate change is real? Up until a few years ago, Richard Muller was often quoted by sceptics as a credible, high-profile scientist who doubted the consensus on climate change. Today, he starts his lectures by stating a few things he believes to be facts. “Al Gore has grossly exaggerated global warming. And if you watch his movie you have more misinformation than information. In 2010, Professor Muller from Berkeley University was funded to carry out a comprehensive study by a group of individuals who doubted the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) data. They believed that urban heat islands, data-selection bias, and inaccurate climate models were being glossed over by scientists. ‘Don’t trust us’ approach key to convincing sceptics Professor Muller and his team — all of whom doubted climate change was happening or that carbon dioxide was its cause — were shocked to find a correlation between carbon dioxide emissions and warming. “That was the biggest surprise of all,” he said Read More here

No country can afford to retreat into self-isolation,” Xi said. “Only by observing the laws of nature can mankind avoid costly blunders in its exploitation. Any harm we inflict on nature will eventually return to haunt us. This is a reality we have to face.” While he didn’t mention Trump by name in the address, some observers are interpreting Xi’s words as part of a campaign to present himself as a strong and responsible world leader while Trump takes aim at environmental protections and alienates U.S. allies. The Trump administration announced its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement in June, and proposed repealing the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan earlier this month. Trump also has a personal history of denying climate change, describing global warming as “mythical” and a “hoax” in past tweets. Read More here
