Matt Halliday, Auckland University of Technology Can we imagine a world without fossil fuel advertising, let alone fossil fuels themselves? That was essentially the question posed by United Nations Secretary General António Guterres this week. Calling the coal, oil and gas industries the “godfathers of climate chaos”, who had “shamelessly
If we’re to believe the government and the mainstream media, disinformation — the dissemination of intentionally false information to deliberately confuse or mislead — is an existential threat to our democracy. Which is odd, because some of the most egregious disinformation is disseminated by governments and mainstream media. For some governments
Ever noticed that the biggest spruikers of “renewables”, like most “environmentalists”, are wealthy people who would never tolerate a wind or solar farm within a hundred miles of their wealthy, inner-city suburbs.

Not from the power price rises indelibly correlated with increased reliance on wind and solar, of course.
