Climate Change

How to deal with militant vegan activists.

Making Meat Out of Thin Air

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

Plant Based Meat Is the Real “Frankenfood”

Plant Based Meat Is the Real “Frankenfood”

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

Texans Hit with Massive Bills after Storms and Blackouts

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,

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

“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

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

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

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

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!

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.
