Now Global Warming Is Freezing Turtles to Death

Now Global Warming Is Freezing Turtles to Death

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

“Net Zero” Is a Jobs-Destroying Monster

“Net Zero” Is a Jobs-Destroying Monster

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

New Zealand Trees and Magnetic Fields

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.

When Shouldn’t We Trust the Experts?

When Shouldn’t We Trust the Experts?

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

Texas Buried under Pure Green Snow

Texas Buried under Pure Green Snow

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,

Weighing up the EV Choice

Weighing up the EV Choice

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

The News Is Comedy

The News Is Comedy

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.

Well, That’s a Turn Off!

Well, That’s a Turn Off!

Many commenters here on The BFD have raised valid questions following the release of the recent Climate Change Commission report. This report suggests that the way forward for New Zealand is for everyone to switch to electric vehicles and for all gas cooking, gas water heating and gas home heating

The Abundance of a Warming World

If we were to believe the Greta Thunbergs of the world, we’re just one car ride away from turning the planet into a desert wasteland devoid of life. But then, if we were to believe the Greta Thunbergs of the world, we’d be drooling morons or Greens voters.

Renewables Troughing Pushing Energy Grid to the Brink

If the Greens and the ALP were to be believed, Australia is just one solar panel away from banishing those nasty fossils fuels for ever. Electricity will come free from the sun, there’ll be no more bushfires and we’ll all hold hands and skip into the glorious green

Another Labor Pollie Calls BS on “Net Zero”

Another Labor Pollie Calls BS on “Net Zero”

First, it was former union chief and MP Jennie George warning the Labor party to wake up to itself over its “zero emissions” delusions. Now, serving backbencher Joel Fitzgibbon is telling his colleagues to get a grip, ditch the watermelon fantasies, and avoid electoral oblivion. I was, I should admit,

The “Record” Ozone Hole That Just Vanished on Its Own

The discovery of the depletion of the ozone layer in the late 1970s and the subsequent Montreal Protocol of 1987 are often cited by climate alarmists as the paradigm case to support their delusions. But, in reality, it’s mostly an object lesson in everything that’s wrong with climate
