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

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. For three years, the BOM fought scientist Dr John Abbott tooth and nail over an FOI request to

A New Zealand man who caused mass disruption during a UK climate change protest has been sentenced to years in prison in what is reportedly one of the longest sentences for a peaceful protest in British history. Actually, he wasn’t sentenced for protesting, as we’ll see. Morgan Trowland,
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.

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
