**** Now and again we receive a comment that’s worthy of a front row seat. John Cowl MD, who we assume to be an American, swung in on our post: Donna Laframboise: “Global Warming” – The Greatest Lie Ever Told: Pt 1 with this well considered piece. STT thought it worthy of an “uplift”. John … Continue reading John Cowl MD – comments on “Global Warming”

Greg Hunt & Ian Macfarlane: aka “Dumb” and “Dumber”
STT has raised one or two suspicions about Ian “Macca” Macfarlane’s unseemly connections with his mates at Infigen (aka Babcock & Brown) and we’ve entertained the odd doubt about young Gregory Hunt. Now it seems that they’re ready to convert doubts and suspicions into cold, hard - industry and employment destroying - facts. These clowns … Continue reading Greg Hunt & Ian Macfarlane: aka “Dumb” and “Dumber”
Can the NHMRC redeem itself?
**** In our post a while back: “The NHMRC: Australia’s Great Shame” we tipped a stinking bucket on the NHMRC’s disgraceful 2010 Rapid Review. A “review” that was so rapid that it completely missed the highly relevant, detailed and exhaustive work carried out by Neil Kelley back in the 1980s. Kelley was the author of … Continue reading Can the NHMRC redeem itself?
The Battle for the Western Districts of Victoria is on
The Western Districts of Victoria is among the most productive and fertile grazing and agricultural territory in Australia. In a good year - and there are plenty of those - it rains for nine months of the year and drips off the trees for the rest. Set on deep, volcanic soils, the country around Port … Continue reading The Battle for the Western Districts of Victoria is on
Michael Cobb – He Gets It
Every once in a Blue Moon STT gets sent an article where the author actually understands the Australian energy market, the Renewable Energy Target AND the fiasco that is the great Australian wind power fraud. Well, the Moon just turned a delightful shade of Blue. Here's a cracking piece written by Michael Cobb, who - … Continue reading Michael Cobb – He Gets It
2014 – the Year STT goes “Viral”
STT is the site that wind scammers and their parasites just love to hate. In recent weeks we've been told about reports of STT's demise being posted daily on greentard blogs - like ruin-economy and yes2ruining-us. Well, reports of STT's "death" have been greatly exaggerated, to say the least. To the contrary, we're fast going … Continue reading 2014 – the Year STT goes “Viral”

Donna Laframboise: “Global Warming” – The Greatest Lie Ever Told: Pt 1
STT doesn't make a song and dance about the Old "Global Warming" Chestnut - we generally leave that to specialist bloggers on the topic. STT is usually content to load-up on the economic and environmental fraud that is wind power (see our post here). We start from the reasonable assumption that the only reason for … Continue reading Donna Laframboise: “Global Warming” – The Greatest Lie Ever Told: Pt 1
Giant Fans: the new Scottish “Croft Clearers”
**** In the Scottish Highlands and Islands “Crofting” was a common method of land use and tenure that was modeled along feudal lines; and was still common well into the 19th century. Crofting continues, on a much smaller scale - the crofters these days usually need to earn cash incomes off farm to sustain them. … Continue reading Giant Fans: the new Scottish “Croft Clearers”
