Like Mark Twain, polar bears and the Arctic ice cap, the death of the Great Barrier Reef has been greatly exaggerated. The Reef has long been up there with polar bears as one of the great poster children of climate alarmism. The supposed threat to the Reef is one of
As we are so often told, sea level rise will inundate vast areas of coastline. Especially once the tipping point is reached and the positive feedback climate loop kicks in causing runaway melting of the ice caps. Melting the ice in Antarctica will cause 6m of sea level rise, the
One thing I’ve learned from trying to debate climate alarmists is that so much of what they know, just ain’t so. Rarely, outside of some of the more fervent evangelical religions or Amway consultants, have I met so many people who were so absolutely certain of so many
Jacinda Ardern’s Government is really hitting home runs at the moment. This is especially true in two key areas that the Prime Minister herself declared were vitally important to the health and well being of the country: child poverty and climate change. Jacinda Ardern told us all, while we
“What”, asks The Young Ones‘ Rik, “is the major piggy contribution to society? It’s bacon, isn’t it? Bacon and rolling around in the mud!” According to new research, though, all that rolling around in the mud is making another major piggy contribution to the world: CO2. Yes, folks,
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
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,
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
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 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
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,

The goverment declared a climate emergency last year and this year have moved to tax the bejesus out of ute owners to pay rich people a subsidy for their new, gay EV. What is becoming increasingly obvious is that all those gay EV drivers are driving around in cars powered
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
