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
David Wojick cfact.org David Wojick, Ph.D. is an independent analyst working at the intersection of science, technology and policy. 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
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
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,
