Cognitive dissonance is the situation of holding “conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviours”. For instance, someone on a strict, calorie-controlled diet who regularly sneaks a doughnut, because “just one won’t hurt”. Note the rationalisation: it’s bullshit, the person making it knows it’s bullshit, but that’s how

Whenever I’ve tried to debate climate cultists on facts, rather than slogans, it’s astonishing how little they really know. Which is probably no accident. Because, if they stopped and did even a rudimentary beer-mat calculus, their treasured beliefs fall apart. Far easier to just keep shouting, really.
Surprise, surprise, a taxpayer-funded hub of bourgeois lefty groupthink has been caught spinning lies about “global warming”. No doubt you’re as surprised as I am. I mean, it’s not like global warming alarmists have been caught playing fast and loose with the truth before, is it? Well,

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

“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

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
