Dr. John Happs PA Pundits – International papundits.wordpress.com “Men only care for science so far as they get a living by it and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. (1749-1832) Religious fanatics have often predicted an apocalypse from a
Dear Prime Minister On 1 January 2021 I emailed an Open Letter to you, which was also sent to the Minister for Climate Change and also to every member of the Climate Change Commission. The title of that Open Letter was “An Open Letter to the Prime Minister regarding the
A common argument from the Krazy Klimate Kultists is an appeal to authority which usually runs along the lines of But Multinational X is investing in renewables! Which raises the question: since when did the green-left make the evil corporations their heroes? The same goes for The US military
ACT Party ACT Climate Change spokesperson Simon Court. “One of New Zealand’s most eminent economists has busted open the sketchy basis for many of the Climate Commission’s draft recommendations to the Government, concluding they regularly misrepresented evidence to support their positions,” says ACT Climate Change spokesperson Simon Court.
Is there anything the Krazy Klimate Kult don’t make worse? Wind turbines – or “eco-crucifixes” as James Delingpole so eloquently calls them – drive up energy prices, destabilise power grids and mince wildlife by the millions. Climate politics enriches the already mega-wealthy at the expense of ordinary taxpayers and
The finger-wagging miserablists of the Krazy Klimate Kult love to lecture us about the wickedness of such planet-killing pastimes as driving to work or taking a plane ride, even playing video games. Industry regularly comes under fire, too, for its “carbon footprint”. But they’re notably selective in
Exhibit One, April 2018: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has banned future offshore oil and gas exploration in New Zealand. “We’re protecting industry and protecting future generations from climate change,” said Ardern. “This is a responsible step, which provides certainty for businesses and communities that rely on fossil fuels.” Exhibit

The so-called CLEAN Future Act just introduced by the Democrat leaders of the house energy Committee calls for the elimination of gas-fired electric power generation, some immediately,
John Rofe Dear Leader of The Opposition, I favour the use of technology and a re-emphasis on renewable energy as the best means to a sustainable future for New Zealand’s children and grandchildren. I deplore the conspiracies of those who are party to the UN IPCC climate fraud,
An interesting post appeared on the interwebs a few days ago. In it Zoe Phin reported on some analyses she had done on publicly available NASA data; the Vegetation Index, a measure of how green the earth is. Using the wizardry of extracting, manipulating and graphing the source data from
Whenever the Mayan and Sumerian calendars align on a harmonic prime, The BFD takes a look at how Dr Viner’s prediction in 2000 is working out. Snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled
No matter how many tanties and hissy-fits Grant Robertson throws, it’s an objective fact that the Great Reset is not a “conspiracy theory”. A “conspiracy theory” is defined as a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators and a theory asserting that a secret of great importance is being
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
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
