The International Energy Agency has produced a laugh filled report, grandly titled: “Net Zero by 2050: A roadmap for the global energy system“. Redesigning the global
It’s basic civics that, of the three branches of democratic governance, it’s the legislative which makes the laws and the judicial which makes judgments about those laws. Too many judges seem to have skipped Civics class. Activist judges, as they are known, seem to labour under the delusion
Peter Ridd’s case against James Cook University will be heard by the High Court at the end of this month. The case is a potential landmark judgment on academic freedom. But, considering it’s framed against a background of climate alarmism and allegedly dodgy science, don’t expect the
Russian president Vladimir Putin might be many things, but stupid is not one of them. “Woke” is another: Putin is one of the last people who’d be browbeaten by a bunch of scowling teenagers and bourgeois loonies gluing themselves to roads. Putin is also not the sort to deliberately
One of the biggest lies in an impressive field of contenders from the Krazy Klimate Kult is that we have the means at hand to seamlessly replace fossil fuels. Anyone with half a notion of the realities of the energy requirements of even a half-way modern society can do the
Antarctica has been ice-bound for the last 34 million years. During the preceding Eocene epoch (56 to 33.9mya), Antarctica was quite a pleasant place: summer temperatures around 25°C, with palm, conifer and beech forests. But Antarctica’s fate was sealed with the final breakup of the remnants of
What is it about the climate-obsessed green-left that drives them to maniacally advocate the worst possible “solutions” for the least imaginable problems. Despite the reflexive screeching of “denier!”, very few people actually deny that climate change exists. The alarmist mantra, “climate change is real”, is an empty straw-man: almost no
BFD readers should be familiar with the saga of Professor Peter Ridd. Ridd, you may recall, was sacked by Queensland’s James Cook University after he spoke out about the poor quality of research used to justify claims that the Great Barrier Reef is being “killed by climate change”. Ridd’
Pictures of Green MPs wearing scarves supporting Palestinians abound this week, after the terrorist group Hamas committed war crimes in their extreme terror attacks on Israel and Jewish Israeli citizens. It never seems to occur to them that the Palestinians committing the attacks are terrorists and the aggressors in these
As the Learjets and limousines warm up for yet another elite climate beano, it must be asked: why would any sane Western nation sign up to yet another such declaration of mass lunacy? Just because the climate botherers are slumming it in manky ol’ Glasgae rather than the usual glittering,
The French used to refer to sadomasochism as le vice Anglais, hinting that infant exposure to harshly disciplinarian nannies bestowed the English upper-classes with a fetish for sexual humiliation. Watching the sad decline of Prince Harry – once a hulking, military blue-blood, now a snivelling, wet ginger, a George Roper in

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,
