John Rofe It seems that our PM and Minister for Climate Change are determined to keep repeating the lies spread by the UN IPCC and their socialist cronies, together with active support from NIWA and the Ministry for the Environment, that we humans have a detrimental effect on the earth’
If you were to believe the mainstream media and the green-left… well, more fool you. But if you’re fool enough to do so, you’ll almost certainly believe in the imminent demise of coal. After all, renewables are cheap and plentiful and more than enough to power us into
Environmental activists – especially climate activists – have a long track record of not just getting the problems completely wrong, but advocating the worst responses. The Paris Agreement is a typical example: not only does it explicitly assume that climate change is an immediate existential threat to humanity (it isn’t), but
The Star Trek science fiction universe is a particular favourite of internet socialists. Partly that’s because of its ever-woker story-lines (Star Trek: Discovery, I’m looking at you), but mostly because of its “no money and all our stuff for free” utopia. But, tellingly, to realise such a utopia,
I’ve recently written about a startup tech company that aims to manufacture artificial meat by fermenting CO2. While the vegans can keep their fake meat, at least the technology seems like a promising addition to the suite of engineering solutions to human CO2 emissions. Certainly, if you believe the
In case you had any doubts about the supposedly glorious utopian future of the cretinous “Green New Dealers”, Texas and South Australia have given us a couple of free previews. The future of the climate emergency-besotted left is a grim and unappealing one: a world where energy is scarce, unreliable
Craig Rucker papundits.wordpress.com Craig Rucker is the current President of, and the co-founder of the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). Green energy policies have failed Texas. Power outages, in large part caused by frozen wind turbines and snow covered solar panels, are still keeping nearly 500,000

In case you haven’t got the message yet, our planet is heating up. Dangerously so. So dangerously that we have to dismantle our entire industrial society in order to avoid descending into a Venus-like planetary hellscape in just a few years. It’s getting so hot in here that
The fairy-tale mythology of “green energy” is easily demolished with some simple, back-of-the-envelope calculations. “Renewable” energy, green fantasies aside, simply is not, cannot be, a viable replacement for fossil fuels. Anyone who argues otherwise is either lying or deluded. Firstly, there is the gross inefficiency of “renewables” – inefficiency that translates
I once had the dubious pleasure of being harangued by an elderly hippy about “Nibiru”, the supposed mysterious planet that was going to collide with the Earth in the next year. That was several years ago, so I can chalk that up to yet another end-of-the-world that I’ve survived.
The PM never ever makes a Covid announcement without an unfortunate expert standing alongside her in the parliamentary dock when she passes another sentence to remove our freedoms. Ardern is reliant on her expert advice, and you could say, as David Theobald did when he wrote for The BFD, that
It takes a truly Soviet level of indoctrination to stand in driving snow and chant, “It’s getting hot in here!”, as climate protesters in Washington did in 2009. Let alone to shriek about a global warming “emergency” as an entire hemisphere freezes. It’s winter in the northern hemisphere,

Info from Manhattan Institute Our wonderful Climate Commission Planners, aka CCP, have decided that we are all going to drive electric vehicles (EVs) in the next few years. We know there is not enough electricity to power their dreams but they could copy a plan for that eventuality. However, they
Rodney Hide bassettbrashandhide.com I read the news now strictly for its comedic value. The New Zealand Herald and Stuff guarantee several belly laughs every morning. The headlines alone are more giggles than the Sunday funnies ever were. I once read these rags as though news was still a thing.
