If there’s one thing that’s notable about the Climate Cult, it’s what an exclusive club it really is. Climate conferences burst with private jets and limousines. “School Climate Strikes” are awash with immaculate private school blazers and hyphenated surnames. Even Gaia-on-Earth, the Swedish Doom Goblin herself, is
Whenever the legacy media and climate alarmists prattle about “record temperatures”, they rarely bother to qualify their hysteria. Understandably, really: because they’re invariably talking about differences in the tenths, if not hundredths of degrees. After all, who’s going to be overly panicked if the media were to truthfully
cfact.org Earth Day falls on April 22 – Lenin’s birthday, appropriately enough – so let us first recall the blessed memory of the official theme for Earth Day 2022: “Invest In Our PlanetTM.” “This is the moment to change it all – the business climate, the political climate and how we
Is there anything good about wind turbines? The monstrosities are a blight on rural landscapes: a munching, menacing monster to birds and bats (including dozens of endangered wedge-tailed eagles in Tasmania) and a toxic nightmare to both build and dispose of. And for all that, we get unreliable, intermittent electricity
mercatornet.com In 2,326 jurisdictions around the world – representing over one billion people – climate emergencies have been declared. At the World Economic Forum, former US Vice-President Al Gore recently railed about impending “rain bombs” and “boiling oceans” due to global warming. Last year UN Secretary-General Guterres accused leaders of
PA Pundits – International There are many alternate religions created by secular leftism. For example, you have the gender ideology cult, the critical race theorists and the pro-abortion group. But perhaps the most pagan of secular leftism’s alternate religions are the climate activists, specifically the climate doom-and-gloomers who have resigned
Over the weekend, Germany shut down its last three remaining nuclear power plants and experts are mixed on the repercussions, if any. With climate change solutions a top priority and many countries working on expanding nuclear energy, German officials decided to make good on the promise to remove the reactors.
You may not know it if you rely solely on American media, but there is a growing revolt across much of Europe against Net Zero mandates in general and electric vehicle mandates in particular. It seems that, led by luxury carmakers, the future may be bright for the venerable internal

John Maunder A panel discussion on “Climate Change: Both Sides of the Story” was held at a Rotary Conference in Cambridge, New Zealand on June 28 2008. I was President of the Rotary Club of Otumoetai for 2007-08 at this time, and the Rotary District Governor John Tarbutt asked me
Do “renewables” make anything better? Almost everything the Climate Cult claims about renewables is nonsense. They’re not “emissions free”, they’re certainly not cheaper and they certainly aren’t saving the environment. Wind turbines are not just visually polluting, they’re particularly destructive of wildlife. Vast footprints of natural

The world has been going to end in the next ten years since I was a boy. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time the planet faced imminent death “Unless we act in the next five years”, well… I’d be rich enough to be a climate
It’s said that the only certainties are death and taxes, but Australians can add another to that list, now: soaring power bills. Anthony Albanese’s grubby deal with the zealots in the Greens will do nothing to change the trajectory of the global climate, but is guaranteed to send

This involvement should include input into future building standards. Insurers
