'It's been a year dominated by lunacy and stupidity by activists' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Chris Smith has scoffed at modern activism, telling host Peta Credlin that 2019 has been “a year dominated by lunacy and stupidity”.\n\nMr Smith’s comments come after the Greens tried and failed to get a hot air balloon over Parliament House on Tuesday emblazoned with the slogan ‘it’s a climate emergency’.\n\n“They don't do their homework,” Mr Smith said.\n\nMr Smith then rounded on animal liberators who trespass on private land to rescue animals at abattoirs, before finally taking aim at Extinction Rebellion. \n\n“The animal ‘libbers’ - they go and stay on private land which you’re not supposed to do, so they’ve forced legislation that makes it illegal,” he said. \n\n“Then you’ve got the Extinction mob who created these craft classes by sticking themselves to the ground… it’s just total stupidity.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n How do the collective GENII explain the warming of the other planets in our Solar system, that do not contain humans?

More than 370,000 sign e-petition for climate emergency declarationA parliamentary e-petition calling on the government to make a climate emergency declaration has attracted a record number of signatories - three times more than the previous record-holder, which called for the removal of GST on menstrual products. Let's see. 370,000 out of a population of 25,000,000. We'll assume that those that voted are politically motivated. Renders the figure insignificant. Bots at work I see. All of these petitions are crap because anyone can sign from any country & if you have multiple email accounts you can sign a number of times.

More than 370,000 sign e-petition for climate emergency declarationThe biggest e-petition in Parliament's history has been submitted, calling for legislation to reduce the causes of anthropogenic climate change. e-petitions submitted by people with multilabel email accounts=fraud, my question how naïve is the age or is it complicit in spreading manipulated information? I do find it rather amusing there’s a hot air ballon in the background .... surely there’s enough hot air outside parliament that you wouldn’t need the gas flame to use said balloon....
