A section of a $24.5m wall built on Saibai Island to keep out sea water from a sinking land mass. The rocks were brought by barge from Cairns, 1400 klm to the south
The unscientific nonsense of climate change and excessive carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is somehow making sea levels rise in the Torres Strait is incoherent and driving Sabai Islanders to sue the Federal Government for failing to cut greenhouse emissions.
There is no scientific, measurable evidence that Australian sea levels are rising anywhere around the continent and for Federal Court judges to think otherwise reveals a poor understanding and interpretation of marine data otherwise manipulated by shifty environmental bodies and untruthful lawyers.
Geologists and scientists have told Cairns News in past years several geologically unstable mud and coral cays in the Torres Strait are actually sinking but larger islands are much more stable and are not sinking or is the sea level rising.
devious lawyers, dodgy UN environmentalists, the ALP, Greens and ABC
The Indian Ocean has not risen one millimetre in the past 100 years or has the sea level in Sydney Harbour or the Coral Sea and oceans surrounding the continent are connected. Doesn’t water find its own level?

During closing arguments in the climate case of Saibai Islanders Pabai Pabai v Commonwealth of Australia in the Cairns Federal Court on May 3, the Commonwealth claimed it did not have a duty of care to protect people of the Torres Strait from climate change, as they could take steps to protect themselves.
The judge said this argument had “an air of unreality.”
Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul are seeking orders from the court that require the federal government to prevent this harm to their communities, including cutting greenhouse gas emissions in line with the best available science.
They are claiming rising sea levels and distressing inaction for failing to prevent climate change would, according to lead Counsel for the applicants Fiona McLeod SC, make Islanders stand to lose their very identity as people of their islands due to climate change, and that the government has never proposed emissions reduction targets consistent with reducing global warming to 1.5C.
“This case concerns an incontrovertible truth – a truth that has been widely acknowledged by the Commonwealth in a number of ways and places for more than a decade – that our First People in the Torres Strait are and will be brutally impacted by climate change and they have and will continue to suffer devastating losses,” Ms McLeod said.
Four years ago Cairns News received intelligence that three Chinese ‘businessmen’ had rented a shop on Yam Island in the Torres Strait purporting to sell merchandise. However it seemed the Chinese men, who appeared to have a military presence about them according to locals, were more interested in movements of their own fishing vessels and that of Border Force and the Navy.
Federal Parliamentarian Bob Katter raised the Yam Island issue and next day the Chinese departed the island. How many and whose palms were greased to allow this foreign incursion is unknown.
This follows another attempt by Chinese nationals, all having a military presence about them according to local inhabitants, who visited Cape York five years ago trying to buy the Tip from local Aborigines and Islanders.
This site included the abandoned Pajinka Resort once operated by defunct airlines TAA and Bush Pilots in the late 80’s. The Tip of Cape York is recognized world-wide as a must-do tourist destination for 80,000 annual visitors who make the arduous trek to get their photos taken next to the iconic sign on the water’s edge of the Coral Sea.
Two years ago Cairns News was told of PNG ‘sorcerers’ allegedly recruited by Torres Strait identity Getano Lui, father of State Labor MP Cynthia Lui, coming to Yam Island to control obstinate islanders.
Such is the culture of the Torres Strait that these good-hearted, God-fearing people have been conned by tricky environmental bodies and programmed media into believing the climate change myth will bring them vast fortune by screwing the federal government which is funding both sides of the legal argument in the Cairns court.
Climate change in 1947?
From a Queensland Government historical publication:
In 1947, king tides caused serious damage to properties and gardens across Saibai Island. Bamaga Ginau called a meeting regarding the future of Saibai and after much discussion a number of families made the decision to leave Saibai and move to the mainland. The first Torres Strait Islander families left Saibai on the pearl luggers Millard and Macoy and arrived at Muttee Heads in June 1947, where they established a temporary settlement. The Islanders set up four camps (Jungle, Radar Hill, Surum and Dry Damper) and used old army buildings as housing. Work began on building new houses and a church. An Islanders Board of Industry and Service (IBIS) store, medical post and vegetable garden were also established. By 1949, the population of the settlement was close to 300 people.

CLIMATE CHANGE CLAIMS SH0T TO PIECES.
When the Ice Cracks: Michael Mann’s Legal Defeat and the Climate of Accountability – PJ Media
What was once billed as a victory for climate science now reads like a cautionary tale of arrogance.
Excerpt >
The End of the SLAPP Era?
Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPP suits, are designed to silence critics through legal intimidation. Mann’s campaign was a textbook example. By targeting individual writers and nonprofit think tanks, he hoped to scare others into silence.
For years, it worked. Journalists walked on eggshells. Scientists who questioned prevailing models did so anonymously or not at all. Free speech took a back seat to narrative control.
This ruling shatters that dynamic. It affirms that even loud, politically favored scientists must prove their claims with facts, not feelings. And it reminds us that courts are not the proper venue for science to settle scores.
The Ice Beneath Climate Orthodoxy Begins to Crack
The implications of this case stretch far beyond Mann’s personal disgrace. For years, the climate industrial complex has leaned heavily on scare graphs and dramatic modeling to demand trillions in global policy changes. But when one of the movement’s most famous architects is caught misrepresenting data and himself, the entire foundation begins to quake.
Organizations such as NASA, GISS, and NOAA have routinely adjusted historical temperature records and used model projections that have consistently overshot reality. Now, people are asking hard questions:
Why do projections from twenty years ago still not match observed warming?
Why are climate models consistently wrong, and why are they still used to justify sweeping regulations?
Why do scientists who challenge these inconsistencies find themselves blacklisted or defunded?
The answer is uncomfortable. For too long, one version of the science was protected by the media, bureaucracy, and legal threats. Not anymore.
The Movement Will Suffer from Its Martyr’s Fall
Michael Mann was a pillar of the climate change movement, not because his data was flawless, but because he fought like a political operative. He understood that the public didn’t need nuance; it needed symbols, and he made himself one.
His downfall represents more than just personal embarrassment. It’s an unmasking. It shows that the high priests of climate change are not always guardians of truth, but often zealots of ideology.
This could mark the start of a long-overdue audit, not just of Mann’s work, but of all the organizations that parroted his claims without question. Governments are waking up. The UK has scaled back its net-zero goals. Australia’s opposition is openly questioning climate funding. Even Germany, the gold standard of green virtue, is facing backlash over rising energy costs.
The spell is breaking.
A New Climate of Courage
Michael Mann’s courtroom humiliation is more than just a procedural win for CEI or National Review. It’s a cultural moment, a signal that free inquiry and rigorous debate are returning to climate science.
It should have always been about the data. Instead, it became about dogma. But now, people see that those who scream the loudest for consensus often have the most to hide.
To the skeptics, engineers, meteorologists, and even the farmers who questioned the gospel and paid the price, your vindication has begun.

Alan Sweeney, notice my comment to: Arlo ♾️ above… Climate change 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arlo — Most people still don’t get it:
“It is NOT Climate Change – it is Climate Control”… One of the best weapons made ever.

Article from 1972 in Der Spiegel proves it: Military weather manipulation by US common since 1963.
In the past, journalists still had a lot of professional honor and the necessary hunger to search for the truth and report on it. Der Spiegel, then a quality medium recognized far beyond the country’s borders, publishes the old articles online, which are more than worth reading. Today, those who talk about “chemtrails” often mean the manipulation of the weather through geoengineering measures. The 1972 article proves that this has been carried out on a large scale by the US for military purposes since 1963 at the latest, writes Willi Huber. h ttps://report24.news/artikel-aus-1972-im-spiegel-beweist-militaerische-wettermanipulation-durch-usa-seit-1963-ueblich/
Albanese may think he is God, but I am sure he cannot make sea levels rise and fall, even with the help of his non knowledge of carbon dioxide and the part it plays in nature.
Playing China off against Australia on the money merry-go-round when will we wake up?
Well, the Saibai thingy has been going on since just after WW2 when some king tides inundated part of Saibai which is a “mud” Island anyway and many of the inhabitants went to Red Island point Bamaga so most of the people in Bamaga are originally from Saibai. Again, I was a surveillance pilot and we used to land on Saibai AND I noted back in the 70’s that in a narrow channel between Saibai and another small uninhabited mud island (name starts with K but old age makes me forget the lengthy name) there is a crashed WW2 aeroplane with the blue painted prop tip showing out of the water by a few inches at low tide and one supposes that is had been doing just that since sometime in the early forties. So much for rising sea levels for Saibai is still there as I type, still has a village, still has gardens, still has a serviceable airstrip, and still has a decent population. By the way, the airstrip is built on the highest bit of land on the Island and it is just fifteen feet above mean sea level.
The job of Elbow’s think tank is to spin this into a pretzel shape you will hardly recognise, forget reality we are dealing with bullshit factory
It’s a known scientific fact that some islands in the Pacific are sinking…it is not the water rising!
How can it rise abnormally in the Torres Strait and not in Darwin Harbour?
Water always find its own level!
This is a case of superstitious, left wing induced natives, wanting to extract money from our ‘wealthy’ country, Australia!
They have backed Albo into a corner..the climate change hoax has come back to bite him on the proverbial butt.
I can’t stop laughing!
To Arlo…I never thought I’d ever say this as I love books, but “BURN IT”, like the trash it is!
And Albosleezy is dumb enough to pay it with our money.🤬
Sinking land masses happen but alas the indoctrination of the hive mind is so strong the Islanders think it’s due to rising water levels.
Hey, even if some don’t, there is potentially much to be gained financially by going along with the “Climate Change” psy-op.
What’s the govt to do, if they challenge the claim they go against the “Climate Change” agenda.
The same water flows into Darwin Harbour where the king tide level remains unchanged for fifty years. This is not good hearted TIs being fooled. This is TIs cynically screwing the tax payer for free cash. TIs know the shore like nobody else in north Queensland / north Islands. They just cannot let a good sucker moment go by un-shafted.
Looks like a job for King Canute
Perhaps he could also explain why there are more TI flags than TI’s?
Lawyers gotta make a living too.
Are you sure it’s a court case and not a TV comedy series
♾️ I’ve recently been browsing in an op- shop in Newtown NSW & came across a book 📖 about drought. That they did blame it on climate 🌬️ change, 🌀made me put it back. 📚 Maybe, I should have taken it home & burnt 🔥 it, to prevent some poor gullible soul; reading it… 🥵 Sometimes; I’m at odds about what I should do… ♾️
