The Sunday Roast

AOC Weeps at Border Horrors
Why, oh why does this woman not stay out of the spotlight? She appears to be a walking disaster area with her comments and actions. Newly uncovered photos from the border protest attended by a tearful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez show that she was crying over an empty parking lot. Many have
How to Fix KiwiBuild

Computer Climate Models Have Biases
Tell me it isn’t true! Surely the models are not programmed to show a warming world as a result of increasing CO2? State-of-the-art climate models predict that as a result of human-induced climate change, the surface of the Pacific Ocean should be warming—some parts more, some less, but
Political Fantasy Like Levitation & Time Travel
End the use of ‘fossil’ fuels to solve the climate emergency! No worries, we can do that. Just need to build a few alternatives. Like: * Here in NZ, 4.5 windfarms per year. * Canada needs 2.5 huge hydro dams per year. * Globally it is only a 1.5-gigawatt nuclear

The Sunday Roast
There is vegan mince, vegan bacon (fried banana peel – yuk), vegan sausages, vegan chicken and now – welcome to the first vegan roast; none other than self-appointed saviour of the planet – James Cameron. Tuck in. https://www.thebfd.co.nz/2019/06/everyone-has-to-change/ Unsurprisingly the full blooded meat eating fraternity at
Ladies, it is not your Fault

UK Government Server ‘Hacked’
When is a ‘hack’ not a hack? Although the National party achieved some embarrassment for the Treasury IT staff they seem to have failed in their attempts at Question Time to score any hits over the ‘hack’. It seems someone used a search box on the Treasury website and the
