Delusional, inner city, work from home, imbeciles. I don't think these people have left their lounge room in a while.

Excellent thanks James. I’m enjoying the convenience of owning a car. My hubby and I share, so we Pat ourselves on the back regularly. When we don’t want to drive, we fly ✈️ because we’re following the example of our beloved leaders. Doing as much as they can for the climate, we should indeed follow their example.

‘What rain we had missed out on due to global warming was more than compensated for by leftist tears.’ 😂😂😂😂😂

All to solve a non existent problem. Completely absurd.

Hey James, if Australia contributes less than 1.1% of CO2 to the atmosphere wouldn't decreasing the number of cars in Australia by 1.1%, maybe Comm cars, would meet the goal of the Climate(Global Boiling) Council?

Hope the donkeys don't fart.

Another sublime piece … with donkeys and sunbeams. Thanks for the explanation about the climate council / commission .

Let me know what bike your mother buys James, and I will get the same after she has test ridden it and given her opinion. And don't forget to tell her not to wear her denim jeans as they too are emitting carbon! But, wouldn't the friction of the tyres on the road still cause emmissions? Better get a donkey then, but what do we do with the donkey's emmissions that land on the road? As far as I can see, there is absolutely no answer to this impossible question of saving the planet! Maybe, we are getting very close to the new Heaven and the new Earth!

Denim jeans? No way! That’s my winter attire. Marks and Sparks jeans.

I agree. The world is unraveling that fast that it seems almost surreal.

I hope God says, ‘ENOUGH!’ sooner than later. 🙏🏻

Oh I really hope your last sentence comes true asap! I think these climate catastrophists are mentally ill with their own fear and importance. They should be locked up, sedated and given psychiatric help for hallucinations and irrationality. We badly need a break from these pathetic creatures pestering the mentally fit and encouraging the mentally frail to embrace their hallucinations. It’s all very disturbing and irritating.

Oh dear God, how long must all this global madness go on!

I hope so too, June. The mental hospitals closed down in NSW in the 90's (I think). THat was when the mentally ill were put out on the street. My mother was one of them, but then she, along with others were out into a boarding house in Stanmore where they were locked out of their rooms at 8am and had to amuse themselves all day. My sister was beside herself! She lived in Mittagong at the time (I was in Qld), and she had to visit her often to bath her and get her clothes washed. She said most of them had no idea how to look after themselves. We praised God that Mother was put into Parramatta nursing home where she stayed until her death 26 years later, she had dementia from so much shock treatment over the years. It is a tragic situation that these places have closed down but they definitely need re-opening for these odd bods that are making the extremely dystopian rules. They need being put in padded cells in straight jackets!!!

That’s just a very sad story.

Yes, that is a very sad and heartbreaking story. Your poor dear Mum, how she must have suffered on all levels of her being! There were people put in asylums who should never have been there. As a uni student one Christmas holidays in the late sixties, I worked in Aradale, the asylum in Ararat my hometown. They put me in a locked ward of about 25 women and didn’t give me a key. One very thin old lady (hard to tell the age of these sad disturbed people) would silently come up behind you and suddenly give you a horizontal karate chop. She never got me but I was terrified. She’d been there since 1928. But what broke my heart was a dear old lady just admitted by her rotten family. She was called Mrs Patience. There was nothing wrong with her, she was just old and a bit forgetful. I lasted almost three days having had nightmares and in that time I saw this dear lady having to literally lash out to defend herself. If you weren’t mad when you went in, you became mad very quickly. It was elder abuse and the most shocking cruel treatment of all these people. In the seventies they closed the place down because the fools in government decided these people should be ripped from the only home and security many had ever known and thrown into society to fend for themselves. This was their smart advanced idea rather than overhauling a very flawed inhumane system. They were allocated homes in the town with so called ‘carers’ who pushed the poor darlings out into the streets during the day. Terrible! In winter they had thin summer clothes on which were no protection from the cold. Those couple of days in Aradale are forever engrained in my memory especially dear gentle Mrs Patience. 😢 There was so much cruelty and heartless neglect done to these people in that disgraceful era when society and governments should have been more humane and enlightened but obviously these poor patients just didn’t matter.

I cannot imagine what your dear Mum went through! And what you as a family did too!

And all that beautiful riverside real estate (Callan Park ?)in Sydney worth billions and the poor bloody inmates chucked out onto the street to become the (Homeless that live in the streets.

Actually it was 1983, the Richmond Report on mental health, it was a couple of years before it came into play. I had to look it up and then deduct 26 from 2012 when my mother died. Time flies so fast!

You could be right. I said the seventies but it could have been later.

No doubt your readers will have noticed the donkey carts in reports from Gaza. Obviously they are taking a firm stance against climate destruction there. The left will soon be awarding Hamas the climate Nobel Prize, tacked on to their Nobel peace prize. We could learn a lot from Hamas about climate, and peace. Bit like what we learn from indigenous mathematics.

In China, another lithium battery burst into flames as the owner tried to take his battery bike into the elevator. A lithium battery factory exploded into fierce flames. A Sydney battery powered bus lit up the night sky. Once again our Energy Minister Chris 'the mole' Bowen, stood gazing up to the sky wearing a pair of expensive Government provided solar glasses, expecting to see the Eclipse of the century. But he was a day late and in the wrong place, which is unusual for him. He was going to prove that if the sun doesn't shine, there will still be enough power for the BBQ plate (secretly powered by ...gas..!) he was tending.

There will always be a Plan B, because there never was a credible Plan A.

They’re all mad.

The quest for ultimate control continues...and they keep trying to convince us that it is the best thing for us rather than just telling us they want to control us.

Buy EV's they're better for the environment they say...incidentally, we can track them, including how many you have, and where they go when...and if we don't want you to go there then, we can deactivate them!

We need to all wake up and realise that in our quest for greater freedom, we are giving more and more of it up with every new bottle of snake oil our governments sell us!

Here's a simple litmus test: If it's their idea, it is not for our benefit!

spot on Paul! sadly the younger generation have no clue what privacy and real freedom are and are so brain washed they are all voting green when they turn 18 because the schools have indoctrinated them into believing the greens will save the planet from imminent doom.

Another great piece James. Spoiler alert - the donkeys already gather several times a year in Canberra. Methinks this smells of " ... you will own nothing and be happy". PS apologies to the humble donkey.
