Rising Sea Levels, Or Sinking Credibility?
Elites do as they please while our energy bills go through the roof
Most of us realised a long time ago that climate change activism was a circus. What we didn’t realise was just how many clowns were involved.
I learned today that not only do we have a Minister for Climate Change, we also have a Climate Change Ambassador.
Who knew?
Kristen Tilley was appointed by the Albanese Government to conduct “international climate diplomacy” - whatever that means.
It turns out that fighting to lower emissions requires the Climate Change Ambassador to fly all over the world, thereby becoming one of the primary causes of rising emissions.
In order to advocate for lower emissions, Tilley has made 20 international trips in the past two years, racking up a $275,000 travel bill.
I know it’s easy to sit here and judge. But you have to realise that changing the climate doesn’t happen all on its own!
To save the planet, our Climate Change Ambassador has had to spend $27,323 on a 9-day trip to the US for “New York Climate Week”.
Then there were trips to Malta, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, Fiji, the Maldives (of course), Vanuatu, and the UK where “London Climate Week” was a must-attend event.
As an aside, why do they never have Bangladesh Climate Week, or Addis Ababa Climate Week?
Hmmm.
The Albanese Government has defended Ms Tilley’s role and her jet setting, saying it would …
“Demonstrate to the world Australia’s resolve to urgently step up the pace of action, and work alongside global partners, particularly in the Pacific, to tackle the climate crisis.”
Judging by the number of stamps on her passport, she has certainly stepped up the pace of action.
Have these people never heard of Zoom? Or a rowboat?
Ah, but it’s about raising awareness, you see. And you can’t put a price on that!
But the government does put a price on carbon.
I fully expect Labor to soon shut down 100 mines and 1000 farms in order to offset their Climate Ambassador’s luxury travel emissions.
Meanwhile, back at the Climate Activism Circus, other clowns are buying up waterfront property while shouting “rising sea levels, rising sea levels”.
A News Limited investigation has found that some of those screeching the loudest about climate change have been so worried by it, that they have bought beachfront property.
Teal Allegra Spender has at least three homes in at-risk waterfront areas of NSW.
Western Sydney MP and senior Labor figure Tony Burke has two – in Tasmania.
And Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen also has a property near the ocean, as does Teal Zoe Daniel.
While the PM recently bought a $4m beachfront home, it is on a cliff (his polling has just fallen off one).
Needless to say, I’m not sure any of their waterfront properties are “going under” any time soon.
Their credibility however …
As usual, the “elites” do as they please, whilst driving up electricity costs for everything and everyone else. And they’re still scratching their heads over the Trump landslide!
An Elon Musk type slash of 30% of all government funded positions, and their expenses, sounds pretty good to me.
well done Mac - once again you nail it!
