Whenever a natural disaster strikes, our media are immediately certain of two things: it’s all because of climate change and Scott Morrison. The people on the fireground and in the mud aren’t so gullible. Just 11 per cent of people in flood-struck Brisbane, northern NSW and western

Australia has just had a rare outbreak of common sense from the courts. The latest, spurious attempt at vexatious watermelon lawfare — using children as its sock-puppets, as usual — has been dismissed. Once again, the leftist white-anting of Victoria’s legal system is being exposed. The Federal Environment Minister
Once upon a time, children were to be seen and not heard — and interrupting adult conversations, let alone temper-tantrums would result in at least a quick trip upstairs to bed without any supper. But, back then we were a serious culture, one which soberly entertained Big Ideas and actually
Has anyone heard from Tim Flannery, lately? Hello? Tim? It’s odd, isn’t it, that Australia’s leading climate doom-shrieker only ever seems to emerge from hiding whenever it gets a bit hot. But when the rain buckets down, as it will in this land “of drought and
According to the boffins who collect this data (as in actual measurements, not model predictions), the global average lower tropospheric temperature anomaly for February, 2022 was 0.00°C above the long-term average from 1991 – 2020. Averages in climate work are taken over a 30-year timespan to distinguish
New Zealand media are going to go nuts when they realise Donald J Trump is on the political come-back trail. Their heads will spin wildly, their eyes will pop out on stalks and their mouths will spray manure 360 degrees. The left despise Trump with vengeance. Arrogant and outspoken,
Presumably, Julius was spurring his legions on to victory in Britain so the inspirational quote is probably not quite what those shipping a boatload of EVs had in mind. Losses on this trip include: * 1 x car carrier Felicity Ace * 4000 Volkswagens, 1000 of which were EVs * 189 Bentleys * 1100
Mainstream media have been cock-a-whoop for the past week at the news that billionaire climate alarmist Mike Cannon-Brooks was trying to buy out energy producer AGL, with a view to closing down its coal-fired power stations. “Net Zero in our time!” was the jubilant crowing of
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
What do the Wars on Drugs, Climate Change, and Covid all have in common? Answer: they can all be expressed as follows: We must do X in order to prevent Y where Y is a threat of biblical proportions and X is taking extreme action to prevent the threat, most
The left like to blatherskite about their “compassion” for the poor, the underprivileged and the working classes. The gap between their rhetoric and reality is directly proportional to how far they have their heads jammed up their own digestive tracts. Because the harsh truth is that, time and again, the
Viv Forbes Viv Forbes has tertiary qualifications in science and financial analysis and no vested interests in hydro-carbon energy, apart from a petrol lawnmower, two petrol quad bikes, several diesel farm machines and a diesel generator in the shed. No country on Earth relies entirely on wind/solar energy,
Recent history is littered with the gold-plated corpses of failed green schemes. From Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard’s billion-dollar, literally deadly, boondoggles like “Cash for Clunkers” and home insulation schemes, to Britain’s disastrous “green homes” scheme, to Barack Obama’s billion-dollar white elephant, Solyndra. Just
After 40+ years of doomcasting and fear-mongering about Global Warming, we find that, compared to the 1979-2000 average, the temperature of the Southern Hemisphere has increased by a frightening 0.0°C as at 17 February 2022. Run for the hills!
