      As declared on early television “far right” and totally unjustified rioting and will NOT be tolerated. The odd public attempted beheading is fine anything else just simply not on.

    Dieselgate.

    Fact checked.

    Copied from Farcebook.

    Over three hundred fifty thousand Volkswagen and Audi cars sit abandoned in the Mojave Desert since the 2015 Dieselgate emissions scandal.

    The Environmental Protection Agency found the vehicles emitted 40 times more NOx than permitted.

    Volkswagen paid $7.4 billion to buy vehicles back from American owners. Approximately 37 storage facilities were acquired across the US to hold repurchased vehicles.

    The Mojave Desert location is most prominent because its dry climate prevents rust and corrosion.

    Volkswagen regularly maintained cars on-site, storing them temporarily until regulators approved software and hardware fixes.

    Thousands of vehicles have been repaired and resold. Others were dismantled and recycled when repairs weren’t economically viable. The graveyard has slowly been emptying over years.

    We few, we (not so happy) few.
    Let us not wish one skeptic more.
    One day, (like maybe tomorrow), we can emerge and say, “I’ve been saying this climate stuff was bogus for more than a decade”. (*)
    We can say, “I was there with Jo the Queen, fighting against fearsome odds for science and intellectual integrity”.

    No really, it is truly staggering that climate doomsayers are abandoning doom saying for power to power AI like Reich believers stripping their uniforms and burning them.
    Except we didn’t vanquish them.

    They just moved on.
    Never mind.
    And we will still be called conspiracy theorists for remembering, and trying to get some sort of acknowledgement of what they did.
    My recognition of the lie cost me socially.
    Many people I know owe me an apology I will never get.
    They’re not even aware why.

    (*) some here, much smarter than me, for much longer.

      “I’ve been saying this climate stuff was bogus for more than a decade”.

      Copied from an email:

      Well – Golly Gosh.. Who would have believed it.. The UN IPCC found to have been “exaggerating climate science..”, courtesy Roger Pielke, JR & Galiani et al, as below.

      The creditability of the UN IPCC & their version of o called ‘climate science’ continues to plumet.

      And it’s upon so called ‘climate science’ (pseudo-science more likely) such as this, that policy makers in Australia continue to demonize CO2, that minuscule, invisible, odourless, tasteless atmospheric trace gas necessary for life on Planet Earth! Sheer madness.

      Little wonder One Nation, with attendant policies diametrically opposed to those of the ‘Uniparty’ continue to lift in the Polls.

      Does the IPCC Exaggerate Climate Science?

      A new study finds the IPCC Summary for Policymakers has systematically amplified climate science beyond what the underlying report actually says

      Roger Pielke Jr.
      Jun 09, 2026

      A potentially very significant new preprint by Galiani et al. documents how the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and the media introduce bias into assessment and reporting on climate change — A bias toward more extreme claims. The paper is a preprint and its data files are not yet available, so the findings should be considered preliminary.

      Specifically, the paper claims that the IPCC Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is biased toward making claims more extreme than the underlying science represented elsewhere in the IPCC reports. This assertion has often been made by critics of the IPCC, but this is the first analysis that I am aware of that seeks to systematically evaluate the claim with data.

      Divergence in Climate Change Communication: LLM-based Evidence from the IPCC and the Press

      35 Pages
      Posted: 14 May 2026
      Last revised: 15 May 2026

      Abstract
      Public summaries of IPCC climate assessments lean toward the more severe end of the technical evidence. The pattern appears at two stages: the IPCC’s lead authors and member governments produce the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) from the Technical Summary (TS), and newspapers then cover the SPM. We use LLMs to score about 114,000 matched claim pairs from all six Assessment Reports (1990 to 2023) and ten major US and UK outlets. Both stages systematically shift toward the more severe end of the source while staying inside the IPCC’s accepted scientific ranges. The shift comes mainly from emphasizing higher-impact magnitudes within reported ranges, less from uncertainty compression, and almost none from selecting worst-case emissions scenarios. Left- and right-leaning outlets show similar patterns

      It’s what happens when governments enact rules which defy science. Very high diesel compression will produce nitrous oxides. So the engines were designed to minimize these under strict test conditions. They succeeded. But if you varied from the test conditions, reality appeared. No suprise there. You cannot legislate reality or chemistry. You cannot redefine pi legally, although even that was attempted once.

      This applies to the entire CO2 industry. There is no green hydrogen supply. And the swap would mean rebuilding every smelter in the world at unbelievable cost and time. And for what? No one can control atmospheric CO2 in the first place. It is the vapour pressure of a dissolved gas.

      Green is chlorophyll, a long chain hydrocarbon made from atmospheric CO2. More CO2 means more Greenery. Green activists and legislators need to learn some chemistry, not make it up. That’s megalomania.

    This is not news but the website was recently updated.

    Sicktoria’s very own “Population scale mRNA manufacturing”.

    https://djsir.vic.gov.au/mrna-victoria/manufacturing/population-scale-mrna-manufacturing

    mRNA Victoria is leading the delivery of Moderna’s population-scale mRNA manufacturing facility at Clayton, with capacity to produce up to 100 million vaccine doses per year for diseases including COVID-19, influenza and RSV.

    The Moderna Technology Centre – Melbourne (MTC-M), located at Monash University’s Clayton campus, was officially opened by the Premier of Victoria and the Australian Minister for Health and Aged Care in December 2024.

    The MTC-M is the first commercial-scale mRNA manufacturing facility in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also the only Moderna manufacturing site in the world to have end-to-end mRNA manufacturing capabilities – from making vaccines through to packaging the finished drug product onsite, ready to ship across Australia and around the globe.

    How much of your tax money went into this?

    According to Gulag AI:

    The exact dollar amount of taxpayer money spent on the Moderna Technology Centre – Melbourne (MTC-M) is commercially confidential, but the federal government’s 10-year partnership agreement with Moderna is widely estimated by sources to be worth over $2 billion.

    The financial breakdown and commitments include:

    The Federal-State Deal: The overarching 10-year supply and manufacturing contract with the Australian Government and the Victorian Government is generally valued in the press at around $2 billion. The government committed to paying an undisclosed price for an agreed percentage of the facility’s production capacity. The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) previously launched a probe into the transparency of this procurement process.

    Victorian Government Infrastructure Contributions: The Victorian State Government previously invested an initial $50 million into mRNA vaccine manufacturing capability and infrastructure to help establish a local ecosystem.

    Worker Training Investment: The state and federal governments provided approximately $10 million toward the adjacent [Monash Centre for Advanced mRNA Medicine Manufacturing and Workforce Training](2.1.2, 0.5.13).

    Australia is an ideal recipient of any future experimental “vaccines” because of the demonstrated willingness of the Government to make them (effectively) compulsory. [Supposedly optional but if you want to work, shop or do other activities, you better get the juice.]

    And what do they actually do when there isn’t a pandemic? Well they do research and make mRNA covid “vaccines” and others.

    From Gulag AI:

    COVID-19 Vaccines: The facility received its official Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) licence from the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA), allowing local batches of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine to roll off the production line.

    Pipeline Candidates: The team works on production and regulatory pipelines for Influenza (flu) vaccines, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccines, and combination flu-COVID candidates.

    A lot of money and resources tied up just so the Government can force the next round of experimental “vaccines” on people.

    And no, I am not anti-vax. I fully support properly tested and proven evidence-based vaccinations.

    Good news on the cost of living in Australia. While walking through a major Melbourne market I noticed that European carp, the most despised fish in Australia was on sale for $19.50/kg. Fish that most people wouldn’t even use for yabby bait, and illegal to return to the water alive now selling for a bargain price. Even more expensive than farmed basa from S.E. Asia.

    This morning in The Australian (comments about home batteries) a comment that appealed to me.
    A costly, complex and half baked plan from Baldric Bowen. Who would have thought! It matches the plan that struggling households can somehow find $40k plus to buy an EV. With nearly 50% of emissions coming from transport sources, Australia is unlikely to see the EV numbers to reach the ambitious yet useless emissions goals.

      struggling households can somehow find $40k plus to buy an EV

      It shows just how disconnected from reality our Elitist politicians and Elitist Leftists are, most of who are dependent on the taxpayer for their income and who have never worked in a real wealth-creating job their entire lives. Professional parasites

    Australia is heading for bankruptcy when CRIMINAL NON-CITIZENS are funded by
    TAX PAYERS to remain in Australia and be “compensated” through Grubbnmnt ineptitude
    and ordinary citizens are sent to the wall unable to get any help whatsoever.
    Looks like The Laundry is in full swing.

    Wow, as reported in “The Age” wonder what it pays. Also unaware that ON was a party that promoted misogyny. Oh well the damn “new right” can be blamed for everything, I think its their fault that its raining at present and I have to go out in it! Note that its also anti democratic, anyone that is popular with the people is “anti democratic”

    “Brittany Higgins is returning to frontline politics, launching a campaign against Pauline Hanson’s One Nation and what she describes as a rising tide of “misogyny, extremism and anti-democratic movements” in Australia.
    Higgins has been appointed executive director of the Vida Fund, a progressive fundraising and advocacy group established to support independent candidates and push gender equity reforms. In her first major role since leaving politics, she said the organisation would target the growing influence of the “new right”, including female One Nation voters.”
