There is activism and then there is extremism. Do you think that any of the views expressed by today’s face of the day, Investment Advisor Dr Paul Winton slide into the realm of extremism? Carbon emissions would drop significantly if cattle were not replaced when they die and tree
Ardern’s government said no to coal mining and oil and gas exploration in their pursuit of zero carbon, ignoring the hypocrisy attached to importing Indonesian coal and substandard overseas mining practices. Turning a blind eye to unethical mining means the poor – the workers and inhabitants of polluted land – are
One of the most comforting aspects of The Climate Change Commission’s latest report describing the roadmap towards making NZ carbon-free is that it has been left to Ardern’s government to implement. And as we all know, when Ardern makes a statement like “The Government will not hold

What we are faced with is not just mindless, irresponsible scaremongering from poseurs in and around Wellington’s Beehive for their nefarious political ends; now we have it in Auckland in what was once hailed as the nation’s No 1 daily newspaper, the New Zealand Herald. There was a

“Give us a child till he’s seven and we’ll have him for life,” is a maxim attributed to everyone from Aristotle to the Jesuits, but throughout history it is one well understood by would-be totalitarians. It’s why the Nazis had their Hitler Jugend, the Communists their

Poor old Simon Wilson. He finished up 2020 telling us why he was afraid and he’s started in 2021 by still being afraid. The things he’s afraid of haven’t changed much; he’s still banging on about climate change. Well, there’s good news on that front
