United Nations climate policy has hijacked Australian population policy

Even before taking office, RBA Michele Bullock was proselytising at ANU. Not about wages and unemployment - but "climate change and central banks". By golly, she'd scrub her bank's "scope 1 and scope 2" emissions back to "net zero" by 2030. The students rioted.

State premiers in key migration states of NSW and Victoria are no better.

They too offer glitzy net zero plans alongside risible plans for housing "affordability". Again, their "reform" pathway is - you guessed – endless population growth.

Like, Sydney needs more migrants, to build more homes for more migrants. Good plan if you've already lost your mind . Proclaims cockeyed Guardian, "Dan Andrews was a visionary leader on climate change but neglected Victoria's natural environment." You can't make this stuff up.

While our unions and universities welcomed Albanese's open-ended qualifications and migration pacts, with Indian (Bharat ) ultra-nationalist Narendra Modi.

Unions dared not oppose this historic dilution of Australian skills and wages. That might be racist. Universities just saw bigger rivers of cash, from unregulated rivers of overseas "student" arrivals.

Universities and scientists ought to be parading common-sense evidence - massive population growth works against environment and equality. Globally and here, such growth is the key driver of increased emissions – hardly rocket science.

Instead, our public intellectuals are the epicentre of ideological and unrealistic UN net-zero exhortations.

It's not enough for them to indulge Albanese's fanciful 43% "emissions reduction" and "net zero" 2050. The Climate Council, also the true believers at ANU and the Academy of Technological Sciences, are already spruiking a "net zero" 2035.

Carbon offsets are a costly fraud, direct carbon removal's largely a pipe dream. But the virtuous classes can still imagine bending our "net" emissions like Beckham.

"Left" think-tank the Australia Institute (TAI) has taken this thinking to its logical conclusion. Jetting to US to plug their big New York Times ad, lecturing Albanese about coalmines and "climate action". Signed by 220 world and Australian experts.

Sure, let's do renewables, dial back coalmines. Not omitting that pesky but pivotal Indian-owned Griffin mine, in resource-rich WA.
