How did one of the world's largest exporters of coal, gas and uranium end up with unreliable and expensive energy?

Massive subsidies for renewable energy, gaming of the electricity market and government mandates have closed coal-fired generators that previously provided cheap reliable electricity.

Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther objected to indulgences. Today indulgences are sought as subsidies from consumers for renewable energy generators in the name of the environmental religion.

It has never been shown that human emissions of carbon dioxide drive global warming and the recent massive increases in emissions produced no warming.

This book shows that renewable energy creates more environmental damage than coal-fired electricity generation and much of the generously funded climate "science" is underpinned by fraud.

However, there is a simple solution to the suicidal energy policy which was created by pandering to green hysteria that forced upon us an unjustifiable commitment to renewable energy.

This book is an exposure of the on-going greed, corruption, fiscal waste, skulduggery, moral and political ineptitude of governments and energy shysters the world over today. - Derek Wyness, reviewer

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-problem of climate and the real problem of using wind energy to generate electricity.
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
Again, Ian Plimer has written a very long paperback book - 435 pages. I believe he does a very good job of trying to explain the complexity and politics of the false problem of climate change. He also explains the consequences of adding wind and solar power to Australia's and Europes' (e.g. Germany) electricity grids. The resulting instability of each respective grid, the tremendous damage to the regional economies and the incredible increases in the expense of electricity are discussed. It's truely horrifying and I hope the politicians in other western countries take note of what is taking place in these countries. However, they seem to be the cause of the trouble. The only issue I take with the book is that Chapter 6, Scary Scenarios, needed more references in the first 27 pages. I understand that Mr. Plimer is a very experienced geologist and knows his subject well (i.e. ancient climate, evolution, glaciations), but many readers may want to learn more about the individual subjects and facts that he mentions. The book is very informative and well worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Earth will do what it wants to. We are powerless to change it.
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
Professor Plimer offers a convincing argument that climate change is not the result of man's activities, but rather is a continuation of a global warming trend that has been ongoing since the last Ice Age.
Yes, we should be preparing for inevitable coastal erosion, fires, floods and famines.
Yes, we should be focusing on recycling, and the reduction of global pollution.
But, renewable energy is a folly, that hurts consumers with very expensive energy, that ultimately creates its own pollution and penalizes the Third World. Carbon trading is a rort that benefits no one except its creators and brokers.

AGW activists seek to use fear to promote a questionable quasi-scientific theory to shape energy policy. This book counters that approach and effectively makes the case for the continued use of carbon based fuels as well as nuclear and renewables where appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Inconvenient Truths.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018
This book "Climate Cange Delusion and the Great Electricity Rip-off" is the latest offering by Ian Plimer in his battle against the belief that the current phase of global warming (which in fact is now on hold) is human-induced and results from the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by mankind. In great detail he puts forth the arguments as to why this is incorrect and how governments are taking disastrously expensive and inappropriate action to combat this imagined problem. Plimer has done this many times before in a series of well-written publications, as have a large number of other eminent scientsts, but very few, if any, at the policy level have listened to them because these policy-makers are under the sway of scientifically illiterate or semi-literate "green" environmental activists. A suitable subtitle for this book could perhaps, ironically, be "Some Inconvenient Truths". Plimer carefully examines, from a scientist's point of view, the fraudulent claims and arguments made by these activists, and as an Australian, objects strongly to the policies being pursued by Australian and other governments which will result in job losses and energy poverty for many of their subjects. South Australia now has the most expensive electricity in the world, closely followed by Denmark and Germany. Many of his points are interdisciplinary and complicated and may be quite difficult to grasp for the layman, but are of great importance for understanding the processes - for example, the buffering action between seawater and the rocks on the ocean floor.
The author is completely right to reiterate these complicated arguments again and again. In the last chapter he quotes Charles MacKay from his 1841 book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" - "Men, it has been well said, think in herds: it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one". So then, perhaps much time will be required to return to sanity.
On the book's final page he quotes Mark Twain's wise observation: "It's easier to fool the people than to convince them that they've been fooled". It would seem that he was correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars climate change, if any, is not man-made
Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
I read the second part of the work only. Pilmer uses a plethora of references to substantiate his comments, all from truly scientific papers, which have the attribute of learned research and argument. the latter is missing from the U.N., IPCC reports, which focus solely on computer models: garbage in, garbage out. the IPCC will not provide or reveal any alleged data which contributed to their unreliable and unverifiable conclusions. the IPCC is not a scientific body but a political committee of a political organization that has lost its original raison d'etre: an organization dedicated to resolving problems between sovereign states. as such, all their pronouncements on climate change are suspect. open and scientific debate among interest parties in discussing climate change is replaced with witch hunts and religious-like inquisitions, public and private attacks against those who deny that climate change is man-made. requests to provide proof from the IPCC and or government bodies of the relationship between climate change and human emissions are not provided and do not exist. this book is just one of many "scientific" papers on the issue of climate change and the details seem to be unassailable.

Verifiable facts were presented in a no-nonsense response to some of the more hysterical clamouring from various quarters.
Common sense prevails throughout.
Adam Bandt should read a copy and he might sleep better at night instead of waiting for the impending Climate Catastrophe to claim him while he sleeps.
It could offer concerned citizens some comfort and to direct their energy, talent and goodwill to resolve real problems. Politicallyinduced famine in war zones for example.

It is a very educational read and got better with each chapter. I think that it could have been condensed which would have made it more readable yet just as informative.

I don't know if this will be effective in educating the masses since our education system has been dumbed down so badly but one can hope. Since "climate change" is now pseudo science and "believed" much like religious dogmas I wonder if facts will have much influence anymore.
