The Blob cometh to shake some more money out of us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Australia is due to set a global weather target for 2035 in September, so the UN sent a former Minister of Climate Resilience from Grenada<\/a> to poke pins in his Voodoo dolls on national TV. He invoked the No-Fruit Incantation and prophesied that Australians will only get one bit of fruit a year, which is 99.7% reduction from current production levels of 150 kilograms per capita. No one batted an eyelid. The ABC repeated it all, unquestioningly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What no one said, was that thanks to the horrors of extra CO2 the world now grows twice as much fruit for every, man women and child, as we did in 1960. It\u2019s that bad.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In toto, following The \u201cUN Science\u201d \u2014 fossil fuels have thus caused total global production of fruit to increase five fold. Even though we were besieged by all those droughts and floods, fungus<\/a>, rat plagues<\/a> and jellyfish<\/a>, somehow we all grew five times as much fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see, this is the total collapse of global living standards, graphed by the OWID<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Line<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps being ludicrous is<\/em> the point?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is not one thing that makes any sense about his speech. The threats about fruit are like a nanny berating a preschooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to investors in Sydney, Mr Stiell surely knew, just as they all knew, that what he was saying was preposterous fruity nonsense. Either the bloated corruption at the UN has run off the rails, which is believable, or perhaps there\u2019s a kind of perverse psychological warfare going on here. Maybe the message he was sending is that the UN is so powerful they can send nobodies who say crazy things, and they don\u2019t get laughed out of town? In a stock market boom, investors are not asking if it makes sense, they just want to know if it will keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UN climate chief Simon Stiell turns ALP climate target dial to the max<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By Sarah Ison, Geoff Chambers, and Matthew Cranston, The Australian<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN\u2019s climate chief has \u00addeclared Australia will let the world \u201coverheat\u201d and fruit will be a \u201conce-a-year treat\u201d if Labor does not lift its clean-energy ambitions, as Anthony Albanese prepares to trumpet an ambitious emissions target to world leaders in his bid to host the next global green summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMega-droughts (will make) fresh fruit and veg a once-a-year treat. In total, the country could face a $6.8 trillion GDP loss by 2050,\u201d Mr Stiell warned at an event hosted by the Smart Energy Council in Sydney on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a school football cheerleader \u2014 egging on the under-eights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAustralia has a strong economy and among the highest living standards in the world. If you want to keep them, doubling down on clean energy is an economic no-brainer. Bog standard is beneath you. The question is: how far are you willing to go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABC, dotingly, called the former Minister from Granada, \u201cOne of the Worlds Top Diplomats\u201d,<\/a> even though he has apparently never met an Australian fruit statistic. Not even in a brochure on the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Dziedzic, theoretically a journalist and part of the $1-billion-a-year-ABC, could have spent five minutes looking up the same graphs that unfunded bloggers do, but instead did the full free marketing and PR sell out for Blob-Industries and Blob-Governments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Stiell called the new climate target a \u201cdefining moment\u201d for Australia, and said the government had \u201cone shot to build a blueprint that protects Aussie workers and businesses by preparing them for a fast-changing global economy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He used a speech to a group of investors and clean energy representatives in Sydney to warn \u201cunchecked climate change\u201d would be an \u201ceconomic wrecking ball\u201d for the Australian and global economy, and that action was imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 The United States has slashed clean energy subsidies and pulled out of the Paris Agreement under Mr Trump. However, Mr Stiell said investment in renewables in countries like India and China was \u201coff the chart\u201d<\/strong> and \u201ctrillions of dollars are shifting\u201d globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He didn\u2019t blink when the UN witchdoctor forecast the complete collapse of our 4 billion ton fruit industry, which I suppose was more believable that Antony Guterres boiling the oceans last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last word:<\/strong> Even though the Australian population has increased 260% and humankind has emitted nearly all the planet-wrecking CO2 that we\u2019ve ever produced (or 80% thereof), the total Australian fruit production has freakishly remained the same at 150 kilograms per person<\/a> year after year. It\u2019s almost like we eat as much as we want.<\/em> Yay, free market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
