Owen Jennings “When there’s a single thief, it’s robbery. When there are 120 thieves, it’s taxation.” (Apologies to musician Vanya Cohen.) Something absurd and contradictory is going to happen to farmers this week. They are going to be taxed heavily for their ruminant methane emissions. Absurd, because

Americans are already struggling under the weight of crippling inflation, from skyrocketing gas prices to exorbitant grocery bills. And even if few Americans thought the Biden Administration had a plan to
“Clean energy” is a myth. “Emissions free” is a lie. The entire push for “renewables” is a whopper of such staggering proportions that it’s astonishing that anyone is actually taken in by it. The only reason so many people buy the lie is because they are constantly assaulted with
As I recently wrote, Sri Lanka is facing economic collapse and even famine, solely as a consequence of its government’s decision to mandate organic farming across the country. Consider it a cautionary tale and get ready to tighten your belts: the same may yet happen here. The world is

As Judith Collins once said, the more someone insists on telling you how honest they are, the more carefully you should check your pockets. As far as the 2022 Australian election goes, the more idle rich climate fantasists insist that they are “independents”, the more carefully voters should check who’
John Maunder The following is an update on the subject from pages 173 to 184 of my book. The chart below shows that since 1979, when reliable satellite observations became available, there has been an overall warming trend in the average tropospheric temperatures, apart from, at times, milder temperatures since
Tom Harris cfact.org Tom Harris is executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition Modern environmentalism has been taken over by an extremist cult that threatens to destroy the movement. This cult preys especially on young and impressionable people who lack the life experience to recognise when their good
Well, they can’t say they weren’t warned. Exactly what Donald Trump warned smirking EU leaders — especially Angela Merkel — is coming to pass: Russia is moving to cut off the gas supplies that they are absolutely dependent on. I might also note that it looks like I’ve been
John Maunder The ‘Maunder Minimum’ is the name given to the period from 1645 to 1715 when the number of sunspots – ‘storms’ on the sun – became almost zero. The period is named after the solar astronomer Edward Walter Maunder (1851-1928), who was working at The Royal Observatory at Greenwich when
On April 19 2022 the runaway catastrophic anthropogenic global warming temperature anomaly had reached the dizzying heights of exactly 0.0 °C above the long term average temperatures on April 19 for the period 1979–2000. Don’t believe me? I have proof from the Climate Change Institute at the
The proclivity of environmentalists for making ludicrously wrong alarmist ‘predictions’ is well documented. In fact, it’s even been the subject of peer-reviewed scientific literature. Not that that ever stops them from going right ahead and trying to scare up the next environmental boogey-man. The eternally wrong Paul Ehrlich is

Fred Too We are still hearing how our farm animals produce this terrible gas called methane (mainly from belching), which is allegedly helping to heat up the atmosphere. Methane is supposedly much more potent than carbon dioxide at causing global warming, although it decays over several decades back into carbon
One of the biggest of the innumerable Big Lies of the climate lobby is that “renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels”. If this is true, one must ask two simple questions: why are energy costs spiralling in direct correlation with adoption of renewables, everywhere it’s being tried? And why
