'Incorrect' CSIRO findings driving costly climate policies | Sky News AustraliaOne Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts says the government climate policy is informed by CSIRO which 'ultimately relies on unvalidated computer models giving erroneous projections”. \n\nSky News host Rowan Dean said Mr Roberts had carefully cross examined the evidence from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) directly, finding their science to be “far from robust” and lacking “integrity and transparency'. \n\n“CSIRO revealed little understanding of papers they cited as evidence and even put forward papers later after they withdrew them that contradicted the earlier paper,” Senator Roberts said.\n\n“I don’t know what goes on in people’s hearts and minds, we know there’s a lot of group think in the CSIRO and they follow the political agenda”. \n\nMr Roberts said a chief research scientist claimed many years ago “the CSIRO has been corrupted in its prosecution of science because it’s been politicised”.\n\n“I don’t know whether these are deliberate lies or whether they’re just sheer ignorance but I suspect it’s ‘group think’ combined with the ignorance and incompetence”. \n\nThe senator also pointed out the CSIRO never said carbon dioxide from human activity was a danger and have admitted today’s temperatures were not unprecedented.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

BLM fire ‘lit by Democrats’ is changing the tide for President Trump | Sky News AustraliaThe American electorate is fed up and won’t take kindly to the “implicit blackmail of the Left” which says vote for us or the riots will get worse, according to Sky News host James Morrow.\n\n“Democrats having lit the fire of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, are now desperately trying to act like they want to stop the very riots they encouraged,” Mr Morrow said.\n\nViolent riots continue to plague major cities in the US in the name of Black Lives Matter.\n\nRiots in Kenosha, Wisconsin – spurred by the shooting of an African American man by police - have matched the violence and looting which occurred immediately following the death of George Floyd.\n\n“It’s changing an election that looked until now like an uphill fight for Trump. Odds are tightening fast, and this is why,” Mr Morrow said.\n\n“The violence on the streets, in Washington, Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, and all over the US is too much for an American electorate fed up – and which won't take kindly to the implicit blackmail of the left which says, Vote for us, or the riots will get worse.\n\n“That's not the American way.”\n\nImage: AP\n\n
