Could it get more vacuous? We used to think climate simulations were bad. Now we don\u2019t even have the modeling, we have unverified, imaginary, rumors of modeling\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a new PR tactic, the Labor government has leaked that it has \u201cheld back\u201d an intense and scary report. This means the Blob-Media can put out frightening headlines about how dire the report is (and none of those horrid critics can ridicule the assumptions).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new extended version of vague \u201cnon-releases\u201d allows the Ministry of Climate Panic to get in a few extra weeks of baseless media speculation, hyperbole and uninformed discussion. Furthermore the Greens can pretend to be relevant by demanding its release, as if they want transparency, and as if the government is \u201ccovering up\u201d the climate disaster while they actually promote it. It\u2019s a win-win for the Blob.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Headline<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The reason for the tabloid theatre is that next month the Australian government is announcing new sacred emissions targets for UN Climate Piety and Net Zero goals by 2035. Hence if there actually was a climate crisis, and if Australia could make any meaningful contribution to solving it, the report should have been released late last year when \u201cthe modeling was done\u201d. Instead, like a Hollywood movie release, the leaked secrets have been not<\/em>-dropped a month ahead, just in time to wind up the crowd without allowing for any meaningful scrutiny. Just like the original emissions target, which was \u201cheld back\u201d instead of being released before the election.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, if the modeling was bad AND convincing, they would have released it all months ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the\u00a0Australian Financial Review<\/em>: we have \u201canonymous\u201d sources<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sources familiar with the modelling, who asked for anonymity to speak about sensitive government information, described some of the scenarios outlined in the report \u2013 known as the National Climate Risk Assessment<\/em> \u2013 as \u201cdire\u201d, \u201cdiabolical\u201d and \u201cextremely confronting\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report\u2019s modelling has been largely complete since late 2024 <\/strong>and stakeholder<\/strong> groups have been repeatedly notified about its imminent publication.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What Stakeholders have been notified? It seems everyone who expects to score money from this has been told about it, and everyone who has to pay for it doesn\u2019t count. In this case \u201cstakeholders\u201d means people in on the grift. Not people who have a \u201cstake\u201d in the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A
The Guardian<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Why \u201chide\u201d the dire report?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wait for it\u2026  the excuse for holding back a science report about a coming catastrophe is that there is a big budgetary shock coming which will be \u201csevere\u201d. Presumably they are afraid people will have heart attacks and they haven\u2019t got enough epipens and defibrillators or something:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A major reason for the hesitation to release the assessment is related to the budgetary implications of the associated adaptation measures required by the government, which are expected to be severe, the sources said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Is anyone buying this? \u201cWe\u2019re hiding news of the tidal wave to protect you from the budgetary shock\u201d?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nation of adults, the Investor Group on Climate Change has been forewarned, but not the farmers, landowners, firefighters and taxpayers. So the industry reps for 100 Superannuation Funds (the pension funds) have been forewarned, but not the fourteen million employees who are forced to put their money into these funds, and whom, supposedly the funds, and the government are supposed to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly the government are winding us up to expect very tough carbon emissions targets. Will the opposition get its act together before Anthony Albanese sells out the nation in a vainglorious race to \u201cwin\u201d the right to host a pointless UN conference of private jet flying lecturing celebrities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
