When the moon is in Sagittarius and Jupiter aligns with Mars, or at some other totally random time of the year, The BFD checks in on Dr David Viner’s prediction from 2000. Last year’s report can be found here. Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges,
John Maunder The extract below on “Climate Refugees” is from pages 293-298 of my book. The idea for the book came about when I was visiting my family in Adelaide in January 2020 during a heatwave. One day when the forecast was for 45°C my daughter Denise suggested
There’s a favourite cartoon for the climate cultists, which they apparently think is a knock-down argument against anyone who questions their holy “science”. “What if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?” Which illustrates exactly the problem with the climate cult: not
John Maunder Monthly rainfalls for Tauranga have been recorded at several recording sites during the last 122 years. The rainfall for Tauranga for 2021 was 959 mm. From January 1898 to December 1904, the observation site was described as the Tauranga Harbour, from November 1904 to April 1907 the site
Apparently, the green-left don’t like it when the tables get turned on them. More and more, ordinary working shmos just trying to get to work have to put up with armies of bourgeois nutbags glueing themselves to roads and trains, blocking critical intersections, and holding up commuters for
As Britain plunges more and more into an energy poverty abyss, no-one dares mention the gigantic, green elephant in the room. This is not just another inconvenient rise in the cost of living: this is literally life and death stuff. Already, Britain’s own energy regulator admits, thousands of
It’s enough to make Greta Thunberg screw up her permanently-cat’s-arsed face and bellow, How dare you! at the top of her lungs: a new study from the UK shows that climate-related deaths in that country are plummeting. This, even as the world is going through
John Maunder The average afternoon temperature in 2021 was 20.2 degrees Celsius, which made 2021 the fourth warmest year on record. Temperatures have been recorded in the Tauranga area at several sites in the last 108 years, including the current Tauranga Airport site from June 1990. It’s very
Craig Rucker cfact.org Craig Rucker is a co-founder of CFACT and currently serves as its president. Dr. Roy Spencer is a scientist, known as much for his unshakeable integrity, as for his brilliant work in climate science. He is also a good friend of CFACT. He works with
A paper published last year examined a raft of apocalyptic climate change predictions: all of which had consistently failed to eventuate. High among them is James Hansen’s notorious 1988 prediction — from his Congressional testimony that in many ways gave birth to the modern, trillion-dollar industry of climate alarmism,
Dr Geoff Duffy Retired Professor of Chemical Engineering DEng, PhD, BSc, ASTC Dip, FRSNZ, FIChemE Terry Dunleavy writes: In the 22 years since I co-founded the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition to counter the false propaganda about what was then called “dangerous anthropogenic global warning” (DAGW) now called simply

While socialism isn’t much chop for humans, it’s a whole lot worse for pets. Some animals may be more equal than others, but they’re all in the same boat when their owners are starving. Citizens in the glorious socialist utopia of Venezuela long ago resorted to boiling
John Maunder Temperatures have been recorded in the Tauranga area at several sites during the last 100 years, including the current Tauranga Airport site from June 1990.

Recently, The BFD reported on the rich kids funding eco-terrorism. The scions of the global elite, such as the Kennedys and Gettys, are using their unearned, inherited wealth to fund more and more extremist environmental groups openly threatening violence to push their cause. The backing for these nascent eco-
