It kicked off in Question Time on Wednesday with Sepuloni attempting to score virtue points while simultaneously failing to answer the question. At the end of a question session the following exchange occurred: Hon Louise Upston: How many more people will go on to the dole before the Minister admits
From the “I mentioned climate change and greenhouse gases so send more money” files; this research would appear to be clutching at straws in a search for relevance. Either that or they are simply taking the piss. Wildlife ecologist Associate Professor Topa Petit, in her Kangaroo Island-based research found that
Get them hooked and then slug them later when they are far too invested in the product to back away. Clearly IONITY, a European EV charging network, were thinking this when they hiked their EV charging prices by more than 500%. I am sure that the fact that this happened
The Chinese Government has decided that anything other than the ‘official’ line on the Coronavirus is “fake news” and anyone spreading such fake news will be ‘invited’ to spend 3 – 7 years in the slammer. I don’t suppose that WeChat has ever held itself out as a champion of
A paywalled article in the Financial Times reports the musings of Cambridge Professor of Engineering and the Environment, Julian Allwood. His conclusion is that the only way for aviation to hit net zero by 2050 is to stop flying. Yeah right! Dreaming of electric planes and planting trees will not
Over at Zero Hedge, they are feeling a little vindicated. They published some queries and got permanently banned by the free-speech police (aka Twitter). Here is their list of ‘dots’ that could be connected by enquiring minds. 1. One of China’s top virology and immunology experts was and still
Information Satire. The Iowa caucus to decide the Democrat candidate has been mired in delays and confusion because of the dire effects of climate change. You may find this difficult to believe but Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough have both declared that the science is settled and the evidence is
We had such high hopes for Boris: Someone who could finally rescue the UK from the EU and make Great Britain great again. Unfortunately, having rescued the Brits from the Eurocrats just a few days later Boris Johnson has thrown the Brits on to the economic scrap heap of the
The Aussies apparently want to take our PM to run their country. There are many here who would also like Ardern to be running another country but we are too kind to wish this on our Aussie ‘cousins’. Nevertheless, if those across the Tasman really want her, then I suggest
Further information is now to hand on the Crescent Dunes solar plant which has now been officially declared dead. To misquote our good friends at Monty Python: It’s not generating! It’s passed on! This solar plant is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and
In an exceptionally brilliant piece of bluff calling, Professor Andrew Parker of St John’s College at Oxford University trolled the idiotic students at one of the UK’s most prestigious educational establishments. Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting
Dame Nadia Glavish said, “It was Aotearoa before we got a foreign sailor coming in here. Why should we have to go through the trials and tribulations to be who we are in our own country?” Possibly an erroneous assertion as “Englishmen were the first to use ‘Aotearoa’ as a
A recently finalised and published Ipsos Global Mobility Navigator Syndicated Study, interviewed 20,000 consumers worldwide on their opinions on alternative engines and what it would take to get them to consider one. Apparently environmental concerns are not necessarily translating into BEV sales. (Battery electric vehicles). The Ipsos Global Mobility
Only in Trump’s America could such a heinous event occur. But wait – there’s more: WZZM13 reports from Grand Rapids, Michigan. A convicted sex offender who says he identifies as an eight-year-old girl will spend at least a decade in prison for dozens of images of child pornography found
I am so glad that there is a bunch of intelligent folks out there on the interwebby thingy that are a whole lot smarter than I and who have time on their hands to look into the ridiculous claims of the doomer alarmists. A recent fine example is a post
Page 14 of the new New Zealand teachers’ resource for the indoctrination of impressionable minds has this quote: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations Environment Program’s climate body, has said for over a decade that there is “unequivocal” evidence that the planet is warming, and
