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,
Viv Forbes Executive Director The Saltbush Club Viv Forbes has science and financial qualifications, and a life-time of experience in the Australian bush. He was a member of a local bush fire brigade for 23 years and he and his wife have watched, lit and fought many bush and grass
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
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
A group of more than two dozen of the victims’ families and their supporters yesterday protested against the Government’s intention to close the mine where 29 men died in a series of explosions in 2010. NZ Herald Read the full article here. Comment on it on The BFD.
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
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,
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
As every ABC journalist knows, climate change is the biggest, most threatening thing, like, ever. We have just ten, no, five years to save the planet. No ABC journalist doubts this for a second. Cos, y’know, some scowling Swedish brat said so. After all, everyone they know agrees. And
John Maunder sunlive.co.nz Some of the answers to the complexities of the climate system are given in my recently published book Fifteen shades of climate… the fall of the weather dice and the butterfly effect. The following are extracts are from pages 203- 207. When I was in
Whether or not you believe human intervention is responsible for increased CO2 emissions and that those emissions are a matter of planetary life and death, Ardern’s goal of 100% renewable energy by 2035 is quite simply unrealistic. I hope the popular ute turns out to be Ardern’s shower
