Prime Minister Anthony Albanese together with European Union (E.U.) President Ursula von der Leyen may well be hauled before the International Court of Justice by United Nation’s (U.N.) Secretary-General António Guterres.
Their crime is repeatedly making false claims that recent weather events in Europe and Australia are the result of climate change when all the evidence shows that all such events have occurred frequently in the past …. and certainly well before global warming/climate change became a cult.
Our Prime Minister has made such claims frequently, as has his Climate Change & Energy Minister Chris Bowen.
The European Union President recently claimed that she has witnessed climate change “ravaging our continent,” specifically mentioning floods and wildfires – even though both have regularly occurred throughout Europe’s long history.
They have clearly misinformed the public and therefore should bear the full consequences of their fictitious claims …… or so we would like to think!
Most readers have probably realised by now that the title of this article and the opening paragraph constitute FAKE NEWS …… or ‘misinformation’ as it’s referred to in the U.N.’s ‘Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change’, launched in 2025 at COP30.
There is no way that former socialist prime minister of Portugal and President of Socialist International, António Guterres, is going to take action against his politically like-minded comrades Anthony Albanese or Ursula von der Leyen.
The U.N.’s real targets are those of us who haven’t been hoodwinked by the establishment’s false climate change/global warming ‘crisis’ narrative – and dare to speak out.
The U.N. and others in the climate cult would like to be able to legally stop us from publishing factual information like in the image below that shows our planet has experienced far warmer periods than now – and flourished !
Amongst those who hate to see the truth exposed are the majority of participants on the Greens and Labor-led ‘Parliamentary Select Committee on Information Integrity on Climate Change & Energy’.
They have recently recommended that our federal government adopt the U.N.’s frameworks on dealing with so-called climate change ‘misinformation’.
The committee recently released its final report – along with three dissenting reports – after months of submissions and often contentious public debate.
The report, ‘Integrity Gap: Restoring Trust in the Climate and Energy Debate’, recommended the Australian government “support and adopt the United Nations Global Principles on Information Integrity and work to coordinate the application of these principles across government.”
The second recommendation called for the official endorsement of the UNESCO ‘Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change’ launched last year, which calls for action against the alleged impact of “disinformation, misinformation, denialism, deliberate attacks on environmental journalists, defenders, scientists, researchers and other public voices.”
The report’s release came with many critics including three Senators on the actual committee objecting to its conclusions.
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts argued there was not enough objective and proven data provided to him on the supposed effects of climate change.
Roberts said some of the Panel’s reports relied on assumptions including “likelihoods” and “confidence levels” in its findings, rather than statistical rigour.
Nationals Party Leader Matt Canavan (pictured below) questioned the purpose of the Committee, accusing it of silencing criticism of supposed ‘settled’ climate science.
There is no such thing as ‘settled science’. Reality tells us that whilst scientific consensus can establish high confidence in certain findings, all physical theories are inherently provisional and subject to falsification.
Matt Canavan pointed this out in relation to the committee by saying: “This inquiry was conducted on the premise that there are certain inviolable truths about the workings of our planet, the precise impact of the burning of fossil fuels and even the cost of different energy technologies.”
He pointed to philosopher Thomas Kuhn’s belief that science is constantly evolving.
“In any one time, there are a set of agreed principles established through the consensus of the scientific community. However, as anomalies emerge in the prevailing theory, new paradigms emerge to challenge the existing consensus.”
Senator Ralph Babet said disagreement with climate orthodoxy should be encouraged, not called misinformation.
“There is no single incontestable truth about the scale, scope, or threat of climate change,” he wrote.
“The Australian public has the right to hear a range of views, including from those who believe the danger is overstated.”
Meanwhile, the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) outlined concerns with Recommendation 11 from the report around dealing with “psychosocial harms.”
“The term ‘psychosocial harms’ is deliberately vague,” said Executive Director Scott Hargreaves, in a statement.
“Subjective tests of harm are contrary to the rule of law, and inflated notions of psychological harm are not and should never be justifications for overriding the fundamental principles of free speech.”
And that’s precisely what this is all about. The Albanese government together with their accomplices – the Greens and Teals – want to control the narrative on this issue.
That should not be allowed to happen – we all need to vigorously support free speech.
Sitting back and letting it be diminished by people who increasingly want to control what we say and do should not be an option for those who believe in freedom.
U.N. Secretary-General, António Guterres, claiming our planet is “boiling” is clearly guilty not only of lying but also showing a total lack of integrity …… he should be the first to be charged under his new ‘integrity’ rules!
