Just when I thought I was running out of reasons to dump on EVs, they come up with the goods once again. Terrible range, battery fires, mowing down blind people, enslaving African kiddies, poisoning Chinese kiddies, ripping off Western taxpayers… is there anything good about these monstrosities? I mean, maybe
John Tookey Professor of Construction Management Auckland University of Technology Do you have gas? It’s a personal question that may cause offence – and not always for the obvious reason. Because the way we choose to cook or heat our homes is increasingly becoming something of a sore point. Since
John Maunder Recently on a visit to Melbourne, I had lunch with colleagues from the Bureau of Meteorology. It was suggested that it might be a good idea to rename the title of my last book “Fifteen Shades of Climate” to better reflect its contents. After seeking advice it appeared
cfact.org Here is the question. If the information on the Hunter Biden laptop was exposed so all could see, would it have changed the result of the election? One can argue no and that’s fine. But it does open the argument up for the other side of the

If anyone was likely to ruin the solemnity and dignity of King Charles’ coronation, it wasn’t his errant son. Harry quietly, without fuss, took his assigned place in the Abbey as a non-working royal and that was that. But it was hard to keep a straight face throughout the
Fred Too A basic plank of public policy work is cost/benefit analysis. You might not be able to quantify all the costs and benefits of a proposal, but you should certainly be able to identify what they are and give them a weighting. You use these to assess if
It seems that Antarctica has not warmed for over 70 years. Oops. Scientists are finding it difficult to explain why the continent of Antarctica has shown Net Zero warming for the last seven decades… and likely much longer. […] The Daily Sceptic reports: Under ‘settled’ science requirements, the significant debate over

cfact.org This Saturday’s coronation of King Charles III marks a significant moment in Britain’s history. No previous constitutional monarch has expressed his political views so openly. Unlike his mother and grandfather, whose opinions, if they had any, remained unknown to the general public, the king’s record-setting
Nothing quite attests to the sheer, demented folly of “Net Zero” than its own defenders admitting that it will be ruinously expensive and achieve nothing practical in terms of “climate”. Remember, this isn’t some wicked “Big Oil shill” or “climate denier” speaking: this is the pro “Net Zero” crowd
What, exactly, is Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology trying to hide? That the BOM is indeed trying to cover up something is the inescapable conclusion from its relentless secrecy and determined obfuscation.
