Hold my Beer - Snowy 2

What is PHON going to do about all the alien abductions?

thanks to excess renewable generation, i can now fully charge my battery for free, and no more electricity costs.

Then what was your solution to cheaper power considering end-of-life coal generators? Nothing produces power as cheaply as renewables that have free fuel to run them.

Ask any virtue signalling battery vehicle driver where he charges his toy car and you will be told (in most cases) at home or at a charging station or at work. Then ask him where that electrical power is generated and you will get a blank look. Ask him then how he defines ”green energy”.

If your all about fighting the Liberal-Labor so called Uniparty, why has One Nation guaranteed a minority Coalition Government confidence and supply? Sounds like all bluster and hot air to me

We need to follow New Zealand as they are seriously talking about pulling out of Paris agreement

Put a stop to these data centres while you're going ahead.

To average 240MW of continuous power to power just a single data centre with a typical solar capacity factor of 20% to 25%, Blackout-Bowen needs to overbuild a solar farm to roughly 1,000MW to 1,200MW (1 to 1.2 GW) of peak capacity. Then add multi-gigawatt-hour battery storage for cloudy days and overnight, plus sufficient diesel generation capacity to provide the redundancy needed to meet required uptime ratings. High school maths will tell you that a 1,000MW solar installation takes up about 4,000 to 7,000 acres (1,600 to 2,800 hectares) of flat land, depending on panel efficiency, and that's just for a single data centre. I guess there's always the Danetree to bulldoze and some skerricks of remaining farmland that hasn't already been carved up for wind generators and the high-tension lines needed to connect them to the grid.

That why it’s the cheapest form of electricity for the government, you pay

Just came back from a grip to Alaska to see the glaciers. It’s not lies

Ask most people where their electricity comes from and you will get a dumb stare.

The LNP are not part.You are starting to sound like Albanese.

Since COVID most people feel they can’t trust the government. There has been no accountability either, and everybody knows somebody affected by the jab. If they are pushing hard for something again the tendency is to avoid it. Fool me once, shame on you ……. I guess it’s a natural survival mechanism and Bowen screams “huckster!”

You mean agenda 2030

Criminally indefensible, fossil fuel $$ corrupted lunacy as usual from Malcolm Roberts. Reality check: Net zero is urgent, essential and underpinned by overwhelming, unequivocal and easily verifiable scientific evidence. There is NO rational argument that supports ditching net zero targets and burning more fossil fuels. ‘There is an overwherlming consensus that we are causing climate change. This consensus exists both among studies and among scientists. Indeed, recent estimates put it at over 99.9% agreement that we are causing the climate to change. Thousands of studies have confirmed that we are the cause, and virtually none argue that we aren’t. Further, the handful of contrarian studies are riddled with problems and are easily debunked. Every shred of evidence confirms that we are causing climate change, and there is no serious debate among experts. This level of consensus is important, because it means that there is no valid reason for doubting the reality that we are causing climate change.’ thelogicofscience.com/2020/01/20/the-overwhelming-consensus-on-climate-change/ ‘Nothing is more important than getting the net emissions to carbon dioxide to zero, and doing it as soon as possible….As long as there is any unburned fossil fuel left in the ground, it is still worth fighting to keep it there’ Professor Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, Halley Professor of Physics, Oxford University; ‘‘The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report states that it is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land, and that this warming will continue as we keep emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It is very hard to imagine any credible scientist doubting this. Indeed, if we do not halt our emissions soon, our future climate could well become some kind of hell on Earth..’ Tim Palmer Royal Society Research Professor Oxford University www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-08-09-oxford-climate-scientists-no-doubt-about-climate-change ‘Previous climates can be explained by natural causes, while current climate change can only be explained by an excess of CO2 released by human fossil fuel burning. Records of past climates indicate that change happened on time scales of thousands to millions of years. The global rise in temperature that has occurred over the past 150 years is unprecedented and has our fingerprints all over it.’ skepticalscience.com/climate-change-little-ice-age-medieval-warm-period-intermediate.htm ‘The evidence is clear that fossil fuels—and the fossil fuel industry and its enablers—are driving a multitude of interlinked crises that jeopardize the breadth and stability of life on Earth. Every stage of the fossil fuel life cycle—extraction, processing, transport, and combustion or conversion to petrochemical products—emits planet-heating greenhouse gases and health-harming pollutants, in addition to causing widespread environmental degradation. We review the vast scientific evidence showing that fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry are the root cause of the climate crisis, harm public health, worsen environmental injustice, accelerate biodiversity extinction, and fuel the petrochemical pollution crisis. Fossil fuels are responsible for millions of premature deaths, trillions of dollars in damages, and the escalating disruption of ecosystems, threatening people, wildlife, and a livable future. The fossil fuel industry has obscured and concealed this evidence through a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar disinformation campaign aimed at blocking action to phase out fossil fuels.’ academic.oup.com/oocc/article/5/1/kgaf011/8099165?login ‘The science of climate change is more than 150 years old and it is probably the most tested area of modern science. However the energy industry, political lobbyists and others have spent the last 30 years sowing doubt about the science where none really exists. The latest estimate is that the world’s five largest publicly-owned oil and gas companies spend about US$200m each year on lobbying to control, delay or block binding climate-motivated policy. This organised and orchestrated climate change science denial has contributed to the lack of progress in reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - to the point that we are facing a global climate emergency.…There is no scientific support for the continual denial of climate change.

The cost of Australia’s energy transition toward Net Zero via renewables could be as high as $1 trillion, and he argues this figure (and the real trade-offs) has been deliberately withheld - Uniparty and particularly Labor have lied. Renewables is unworkable unreliable. If this continues we will not be able to feed ourselves. This lie this scam is destroying industry, manufacturing, our farms/foodbowl will be wiped out. The technology does not exist for farms to use renewables. A resource rich country on it's knees. Govt going around on cap in hand on their knees begging for fuel, diesel, petrol... what a disgrace what a corruption. Time is running out soon it will be too late to turn this around. 50%? of the people are on the public purse/taxpayer, NDIS and public servants is how Labor hangs onto power (as well as 'new arrivals'.... ).. video is worth watching - "Treasury Insider: How Ideology Beat Common Sense in Australia" www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiNr1FDrOCY

Australia economy will not improve progress while it still clings to the Climate Change lie and scam.

Yet Bowen keeps putting mass amounts of our money into it , thinking it is going to make a difference , What a waste of Tax Payers Money , Scrap it as a waste of time and our money.

Go back and stir your cauldron, you weirdo.

Senator Malcolm Roberts you, and many of us with no real public profile, are obviously in very good company as “conspiracy theorists”. Wear it as a badge of honour. Keep up your good work Sir.

I would be more interested in a peer reviewed study into how you breathe without a functioning brain

Good thing I did my own research and trusted my discernment rather than their $cience

💯 stay strong Malcolm. Side note, if the pharmaceutical companies were providing value, the educational institutions would be paying them for their services....not the other way around

Most of these quotes aren't recent. They're from way before 2020.

The best way to stay healthy is to avoid the medical profession.

Hope this helps.... Context: These editors were criticizing systemic problems — industry funding bias, poor study design, publication bias, conflicts of interest — in the broader medical research ecosystem, not confessing that their own specific journals as institutions were "corrupt" in a narrower sense (e.g., fraud by the journal itself). The meme's framing ("testified to the corruption of NEJM," etc.) conflates "criticized systemic corruption affecting published research broadly" with "confessed my journal specifically was corrupt." These are also genuinely two decades-plus old in some cases (Relman/Angell date to the 1980s–2000s), used to imply an ongoing, current indictment rather than commentary tied to a specific era and specific practices (much of which prompted reforms like clinical trial registries, COI disclosure rules, etc. that followed). So: real quotes, real people, but "testified" is inaccurate framing, and the implication that top editors declared their own journals fundamentally corrupt (rather than criticizing broader systemic bias in published research) oversimplifies what they actually said.

I ree.bet as a.kid In the late 1950s a classmate came down with Polio. We kids all lined up for the Salk vaccine and the Sabin vaccine the following year. I have trusted vaccines ever since. It is bloody selfish to feel self-righteous and risk passing diseases to others.There is always some risk but very small compared to societal benefit.

20 plus year old quotes, LOL.

Hey Malcolm can you point out any peer reviewed studies with regards to chemtrails ?

You don't need a PhD to have figured that out. Logic and common sense told many of us that a long time ago.

No way Mal relying on meme sent in without looking into its context? 🥴 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pop your tin hat back on champ

Thankyou for your support in this matter

Not surprised, but still very disturbing.

The lancet is talking about small unreliable studies. They are the ones you believe in.

Cooker in politics. Who would have thought

Conspiracy,AI, Malcolm Roberts. Senator in the Australian Parliament ??????

And give the money back they made and compensation to those they harmed. There should be an investigation of their conflicts because if not conflicted their competence should be assessed.

A perfect example of Richard Horton’s quote would be Andrew Wakefield’s MMR autism study that was published in the Lancet for 12 years before being retracted. It had an extremely low sample size, invalid analysis and a flagrant conflict of interest, and inspired a decades long dubiously fashionable trend of trying to link vaccines to autism.

What's ONs policy on publicly funded health care I wonder?

Bill Gates purchased the Cochrane database in 2019. Someone put his thumb on the scale.

And who are they owned by Malcolm? Maybe some of that research might help you with the shakes

Scientists constantly check the work of other scientists and anything that is not reproducible or that is incorrectly interpreted in the literature is corrected. Individual scientists may commit fraud, but they get caught by other scientists and have the book thrown at them! They are liable to be terminated, sued by their funding agency or institution or imprisoned if caught.

Yes they are Malcom.
