As I asked recently: is the Climate Cult barking mad? We know they’re not stupid… well, not all of them. Some of them are very smart people. But they’d surely have to be out of their minds: how else could a scientist, an engineer even, say things like
Seven years ago, Tasmania faced an energy and environmental crisis. Now, another one is looming. In 2016, the state’s network of dams dropped to precipitously low levels. The reason was two-fold: an unusually dry winter meant that the dams were less full than usual; but coupled to that was

Harry Palmer CO2 is a bonus product extracted with natural gas in the Taranaki gas field. It’s used in fire extinguishers, soft drinks, beer propellant in pubs and dry ice in the entertainment industry, for example. However, when I was a production engineer at a NZ company producing a
Harry Palmer If you’re out walking in the bush and you come across a river, you look for stepping stones to help you get across. Being a careful person, and if you’re accompanied by children, it is, of course, important for you and them to try to avoid
As eminent earth scientist Professor Ian Plimer has said, we must be the first generations in human history to be afraid of a warming climate. Warming climates are historically associated with abundance and thriving life. Which is what we’re seeing in the current, mildly warming climate: the Earth is

Reports of the death of the Great Barrier Reef are greatly exaggerated. Despite having survived at least half a million years of nature’s vicissitudes, the Reef has been under supposedly imminent threat for almost as long as I can remember. In the 1970s, it was the crown of thorns
The Climate Cult are getting crazier and more dangerous by the day. Not content with gluing themselves to roads, attacking priceless artworks or defacing war memorials, their latest tactic is targeting the homes of law-abiding citizens. The latest such attack was a home invasion inflicted on a West Australian mining

Imagine if a service station could randomly refuse to refill your car. Welcome to yet another entry in the very lengthy ledger of why EVs are a bit shite. Queensland risks putting the brakes on the transition to electric vehicles if a state-owned energy company is given the power to
When Heather du Plessis-Allan laughed in the face of a spoilt-brat “Climate Striker”, she was only saying out loud what we all know: these people are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet. It’s impossible, after all, not to notice just how selective the Climate Cult’s
To borrow an ancient saying, beware of greens bearing gifts. For many farmers and rural communities, a wind farm developer rolling into town no doubt seems a great opportunity to get in on the trillions thrown at the Climate Cult. Until, as green schemes are wont to do, it all
