John Rofe Earth’s two most important Endowments are Water [H2O] and Carbon Dioxide [CO2] – Add light, we get Oxygen [O2] Despite being an investor in renewable energy technologies, materials and systems and therefore a beneficiary of the Glasgow COP26 Charade, I was horrified at the blatant hypocrisy on show.

CLINTEL clintel.org. At COP26, the wealthy global elite arrived in Glasgow on 400 private jets to lecture those attending. They said that our technological achievements have caused a global “climate emergency”, that it was “one minute to midnight” and that if we failed to stop this supposedly disastrous trend
“Virtue signalling” is defined as, “To take a conspicuous but essentially useless action ostensibly to support a good cause but actually to show off how much more moral you are than everybody else”. Since first appearing some time in the early 2000s and edging out Patrick West’s closely-related phrase,
Dr Muriel Newman nzcpr.com For weeks now, there has been saturation level news coverage predicting a doomsday future caused by human-induced global warming. The reason, of course, is that the annual United Nations “Conference of Parties” – COP26 – has been held in Glasgow, where 25,000 advocates have been dreaming
Greta Thunberg, Prince Charles, David Attenborough, Leonardo DiCaprio and our very own James Shaw may be disappointed their quasi religious hysteria at COP26 failed to generate a tsunami of fear; instead media coverage is akin to the normal ebb and fall of a predictable tide, now receding. By the time
Does Scott Morrison really want to win the next election? Because, right now, he seems to be doing nearly everything he can to guarantee a thumping loss. Mostly, by caving into the noisy green lobby in the inner-cities of Melbourne and Sydney, and ignoring the vast swathes of voters in
Here’s a little puzzle for you: a dam is drained and at its bottom are found the remnants of an old farm. Do you conclude that a) the water level was once as low or lower than now, when the farm was built; or b) that the find shows
Imagine if the Morrison government announced that it was spending a quarter of a billion dollars, to build exclusive service stations for luxury vehicle owners. The media and the left would go insane. Yet, that is, effectively, what the government has just announced. If anything, the left is complaining that
It’s a bit of a mystery to the green-left why we ordinary folk tend to think that Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of upper-class nutters. I mean, who doesn’t have an Arts degree, live in an expensive inner-city suburb, and spend their spare time dressing up in silly
John Maunder Among the many climate science meetings I have attended, the most significant, at least in terms of climate change is concerned, was my involvement in the UN sponsored International Conference held 35 years ago in the beautiful town of Villach, Austria. One hundred experts from 30 countries attended
If we were to pay attention to the climate hysterics, coal is not just out of style, it’s imminently destined for the dustbin of history. But then, who apart from idiot politicians, rent-seeking corporates and those weirdo activists glueing themselves to roads, actually pays attention to the climate hysterics?
Maybe there really is a Gaia, after all. Glasgow has just delivered the funniest climate change moment since protesters huddled in driving snow in Washington, chanting — against all the evidence turning their extremities blue — that “It’s getting hot in here!” Right around the British Isles, onshore and offshore, the
The delegates have barely alighted from their private jets and checked into their luxury suites and already Glasgow is shaping up to be the funniest climate flop since Copenhagen. As you might remember, the Copenhagen climate summit was torpedoed by the leaking of the Climategate emails. Suddenly, the world got
