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
Try to imagine a wealthy, privileged white person being carried through the streets on a litter borne on the backs of starving black children. Your average green-left “progressive” would have fifty fits. Yet this is, metaphorically, just what the climate-bothering green left do, every time they get behind the wheel
Let’s admit it: the UN is no longer fit for purpose and should be abandoned. The last remaining shreds of the UN’s relevance evaporated in the 1990s with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Since then, the UN has been little more than the plaything of despots, meddling
Rodney Hide bassettbrashandhide.com Rodney Hide is former ACT Party leader, and Minister in the National-ACT Government from 2008 to 2011 We were admonished on the blog by “Otway1” for our “seemingly deliberate scientific ignorance” because “[t]he evidence for anthropogenic (manmade) global warming driving climate change is overwhelming.” I
Dr Muriel Newman nzcpr.com Last year Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declared a “climate emergency” in New Zealand. Now, in response to the Climate Commission’s report outlining how New Zealand should reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet its United Nations Paris Accord targets, she’s claiming climate change is
Chris Sellars I like to keep an eye on the weather as it’s handy to know which way the wind blows and if a hard rain is gonna fall. I am not qualified though. I don’t call myself an expert or a professional. I have been rained on
As the ideologues in government announce a reverse Robin Hood tax to encourage EV sales, one has to wonder where they were when the ability to think critically was handed out. Stealing from the poor to subsidise the wealthy into smugmobiles is wrong on so many levels and yet the
We all know about the Climate Commission’s report, which came out last week. It continues with the usual narrative, that we are destroying the planet, and we all have to live like Stone Age people if we wish to survive. The prime minister jumped in with her usual dose
