Greens Don’t Care About the Environment

COPping a Well Deserved Belting

Rule of thumb: if the climate cultists are whinging, then it can’t be all bad. In fact, it’s usually downright hilarious. COP28, the latest of the annual climate cult beanos, has delivered the goods in spades. Particularly delicious is that Australia’s ‘Climate Change and Energy Minister’ has

No Dino Life in a Cool Climate

No Dino Life in a Cool Climate

The demise of the dinosaurs has long been a topic of intense fascination. Not least, it seems, because the realisation that dinosaurs had existed, and just what they were, nicely dovetailed with the Scientific Revolution.

Boofhead is all set to prattle about “renewables”, apparently unaware that the “climate change” script has changed, yet again. Renewables are
