Whatever happened to Boris Johnson? When British voters went to the polls in 2019, they overwhelmingly rejected the reactionary leftism of Jeremy Corbyn and elected what they apparently thought was a conservative government. But, as happened in Australia from 2015 to 2018, voters who thought they were getting a conservative,
David Wojick cfact.org David Wojick, Ph.D. is an independent analyst working at the intersection of science, technology and policy. The Biden Climate Summit is not just the two day zoomfest. That show is the crescendo to a complex concert that has played out over the last few weeks.
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com In November 30,000 delegates from across the world will descend on Glasgow’s spectacular Events Campus for 12 days, to attend the United Nations 26th Climate Conference. I qualify “from across the world” given the last one two years ago in Madrid had delegates
Like the great Richard Feynman, Steven Koonin is thoroughly, no-bullshit New York. Which makes it doubly odd that he was Barack Obama’s chief scientist. But if Koonin went along with his boss’s bullshit while Obama was in the White House, he’s certainly not holding back now. Koonin
Geoff Derrick PA Pundits – International papundits.wordpress.com The following is a Guest Post from an Australian retired Consulting Geologist Geoff Derrick. The first two images are related to Australia and in the first, Angus Taylor is the Australian Federal Government Minister For Energy And Emissions Reduction. The second image
One of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had was with a certain political figure, a heavyweight in the left wing of the Australian Labor Party. This fellow was holding forth on the alleged ecological calamities engulfing Mother Gaia and, as eco-tastrophists will, opined that the only way to
John Maunder The chart below shows that since 1979, when reliable satellite observations became available, there has been little overall trend in the average tropospheric temperatures, apart from milder/warmer temperatures since about 1997, and two significant warm periods associated with the El Nino events in 1998 and 2015-16 The
Greta Thunberg is right. Yes, I actually wrote that with a straight face. Of course, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and Thunberg’s clock is not just busted, it’s being wildly wound back and forth by its handlers. Even when she’s right, she’s
CFACT Ed cfact.org Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York and a widely known celebrity scientist. He’s also a dyed-in-the-wool climate guy. Dr. Tyson tweeted out what he thought was a safe homily about “settled science” until of all things, a
We all know that academia has long since become little more than a taxpayer-funded circle-jerk for people who’d rather collect PhDs than actually work for a living in the real world. To some extent we could live with that: if only the onanistic eggheads kept their furious masturbation to
Remember when Scott Morrison shocked the green-left by bringing a lump of coal into parliament? Whatever happened to that guy? Coalition voters would gladly trade Scott Morrison the climate warrior for the woeful Scotty from Marketing they ended up with: continually spooked into submission on every woke issue. Especially climate
It’s a weird but pleasing experience to find myself in agreement with someone whose views I generally detest. It’s even weirder and more pleasant to find an environmentalist actually saying something sensible for once. It’s triply weird when it’s a Guardian columnist. George Monbiot didn’t
Our government has a policy that they are not investing in new roads much anymore because they want people to switch to public transport, walking or cycling instead. This is part of their stated intent to obey the dictates of the IPCC and reduce our CO2 emissions. Prior to the
Perhaps Tim Flannery really is one of Australia’s most accomplished scientists. After all, it’s not many people whose name gets made into a vernacular verb, but an increasing number of Australians have taken to remarking that “It’s really Flannerying down”, when the weather turns wet. A “Flannery”
Owen Jennings I remember my father talking of surviving during the great 1929 depression. Meals consisted of what they could grow – often a carrot, a spud and an onion. No credit at the local shop. No new clothes, no car, homemade everything. People knocking on doors asking for food and
