Guess Who the World’s Biggest Source of Greenhouse Gases Is?

Guess Who the World’s Biggest Source of Greenhouse Gases Is?

A drum roll, please. The answer to the question “Who is the biggest source of greenhouse gases?” is, and colour me surprised, … China! Wow, who would have thought, right? The obviously far-right and fake news site “Climate Change Dispatch” explains. Take, for instance, a new report that shows greenhouse gas

Climate Science: The Five-Minute Pitch

Climate Science: The Five-Minute Pitch

The screeching ninnies of climate alarmism are forever shrieking about “the science”. Which is odd, because their millenarian rantings have sweet f.a. to do with the science of climate change. So what is the (actual) science? Physicist and former Obama science advisor Steve Koonin wrote a whole book, Unsettled,

Mad Dogs and Climate Alarmists

Mad Dogs and Climate Alarmists

It’s as predictable as the sunrise: summer brings the climate alarmists crawling out of their winter hibernation. They’re a seasonal, migratory lot, the climate alarmists: their squawking flocks bounce backwards and forwards across the equator, following the sun. It’s in their DNA, after all: godfather of climate

Save the Planet – Ban Oil Now!

Save the Planet – Ban Oil Now!

Critical Race Theory instruction in schools really should be rapidly replaced with Critical Thinking Theory and Critical Thinking Practice in the halls of power, as our leaders seem woefully short of the ability to engage their brains before acting. Witness the Captain’s Call to ban oil and gas exploration.

New Zealand Can’t Keep the Lights on with Fairy Dust

New Zealand will be sifting through the rubble of the Ardern government for decades after it is eventually condemned to the dustbin of history. New Zealanders have rushed into a fairytale marriage of almost willfully blind haste. They will have many, many years to repent in increasingly bleak leisure. From

Wobbly Moons and Shaky Climate Predictions

Wobbly Moons and Shaky Climate Predictions

One of the biggest problems for the climate alarmists is that their scary predictions of climate doom just keep flopping. For at least 30 years, alarmists have been shrieking that we’ve got just ten years to save the planet. Yet, so far, we have yet to be drowned, desertified,

Government’s Green Credentials Covered in Coal Dust

Who Will Call Out Al Gore’s Bullshit?

Who Will Call Out Al Gore’s Bullshit?

In the classic Beyond the Fringe sketch. “The End of the World”, a millenarian cult await a predicted apocalypse. When it fails to materialise, one of the cultists shrugs, “Never mind, lads – same time tomorrow. We must get a winner, one day.” That’s the thing about cultists: they’ll

The Horror of the Climate Height Gap

The Horror of the Climate Height Gap

Is there anything climate change can’t do? It’s making the world hotter, but it’s also to blame when climate protesters are left shivering in snowstorms. Climate change causes increased prostitution (but it also puts brothels out of business). Climate change is such a tricky beast that it

Who Can We Trust on GHG Emissions?

DaveOnTheWestBank The constant braying of the media about greenhouse gas emissions and how we must spend more and more taxpayers dollars to investigate ways to reduce these emissions are a major source of irritation to many of us. Everyone is on board with this twaddle as far as I can

Climate Travesty

Climate Travesty

I have taken to reading The Spectator Australia and The Telegraph in the UK recently, as they produce decent journalism that is well researched, well written and thought-provoking without being inherently biased. The Telegraph attacks members on both sides of the political divide roughly equally, while The Spectator attacks wokeism,

Pink Haired Harpy (and Friends) Want Climate Lockdowns

The below video seems to have been missed when it came out back in April this year. Probably because it was of John Campbell slavishly fawning over our three ‘award winning scientists’ and nobody with half a brain or any shred of dignity watches Campbell anymore, or indeed, could even
