Whales Lose Out to Wind Farms

As I wrote recently, the Green-Left’s environmental fanaticism is decidedly situational. The same army of grotty unemployables and interfering old biddies who’ll chain themselves to a development if it allegedly threatens a single, obscure breed of finch, are conspicuously absent when wind turbines are mincing dozens of endangered

It’s a Win for the Environment!

They’re a strange mob, the Greens. They’ll chain themselves to the gate six-deep to a mining site if word gets out that a wallaby fell in a tailings dam and drowned. But the same gaggle of smelly unemployables and pious nosey-nannas are nowhere to be seen while wind-farms

Building the Cathedrals of Europe… the Climate Factor

John Maunder When I was in Canada about 30 years ago, I listened to a lecture about Medieval Warming, the building of the Gothic Cathedrals and the freemasons. It appears that there was no theological reason why the cathedrals were built at that time but there is an interesting link

Ideology of the Day

Another Green Scheme Goes Bust. Oh Dear…

Another Green Scheme Goes Bust. Oh Dear…

To paraphrase Clarence Darrow, I have never wished a private enterprise to fail, but I have smiled at a great many financial reports. Especially when they concern painfully woke billionaires whose latest “renewable” scheme has gone bust. A fall out between two of the nation’s richest men has led

The Heavy Consequences of EVs

In Monash University in Melbourne’s Engineering Garden stands a sobering monument: twisted fragments from the wreckage of the Westgate Bridge collapse in 1970, one of the world’s worst bridge collapses. The tortured chunks of metal are meant to remind engineering students of the devastating consequences if they screw

Albo’s Comic Mis-Timing Is No Joke

Timing is everything in comedy — and in politics, too. There’s never a good time for a government to belt its most productive sector with what I call “puffy pants taxes”*. But there are definitely worse times to do so. Such as when said sector is on the brink of

Australiazuela Is Next on the Road to Socialist Paradise

As I recently wrote, Europe’s idiotic infatuation with ludicrous “green energy” policies is leading it down the primrose path of destruction. Energy supplies are collapsing, right in the middle of the sort of winter the Climate Cult assured us would never happen again, and the continent stands on the
