David Wojick papundits.wordpress.com As a logician, I am always on the lookout for fallacies and there is no lack of them in climate change alarmist policies. New Zealand’s newly released climate risk assessment not only has multiple fallacies, they build on one another in a cascade. This
Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was a highly influential essay in the Philosophy of Science. As it has turned out, not always in a good way. While Kuhn introduced such now-common terms as paradigm into the scientific lexicon, he also argued that science should be defined more
How many times has this phrase been rolled out in the Global Warming disaster era? Whether it is temperature or CO2 levels or sea levels or whatever, there is nothing like a ‘highest ever’ headline to grab a bit of clickbait. NOAA boldly states: Carbon dioxide levels today are higher
“Just because a scientific paper is peer-reviewed does not mean it is correct. The peer-reviewed scientific literature is full of papers that contradict each other so they can’t all be right. Peer review does not stop bad science being published. Scientific theories live or die on evidence, not whether
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Recently there was a Federal by-election in Australia in the Labour-held marginal seat of Eden-Monaro. In a tight race Labour scraped back, thanks to the Greens preferential votes going their way. But note this. The Australian Greens leader Adam Bandt remarked afterwards, “the result sent

Terry Dunleavy Hon Secretary, New Zealand Climate Science Coalition I have just finished reading Five Things Judith Collins has said on Climate Change on Stuff, and my message for its new CEO Sinead Boucher is that if this is an example of journalistic standards of accuracy, enlightenment and fairness, then
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Before sunrise yesterday, the grass temperature in Washpool, “Sunny Queensland” was minus 1.7 deg. There was no wind or sunshine. Wind turbines were becalmed and not even moonbeams energised our solar panels. In that still, frosty darkness, green energy failed again. Not a watt came
Oh, dear! What are the greenie lefties going to do now? Their most beloved of organisations, the UN has (finally) highlighted the child abuses and environmental devastation involved in the production of batteries for the greenies most beloved means of transport – the EV. The shift to electric mobility is in

Forbes this week without explanation has memory-holed an article by award-winning climate activist Michael Shellenberger, in which he apologizes “for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years.” At The BFD we like to shine sunlight on content assigned to the memory hole by MSM publishers so have
The RMA is a cumbersome and expensive piece of legislation that 30 years and 19 amendments, including the Greens’ latest contribution, have failed to make workable. It should be scrapped and rewritten. A recent example of the inefficient process is Watercare’s application to take more water from the Waikato

Is more sea-ice in Antarctica a good thing or a bad thing? Seems like the answer depends on who you ask. Scientists have “asked” the Adelie penguins and gotten a surprising answer. Population trends and breeding success variability of Adélie penguins, a bioindicator of Antarctic environments, have been attributed to
Boomers are a funny lot. Their grasp of history seems to begin in the 1950s and end in the 80s. The apex of history, of course, was the middle 60s. The founders of climate alarmism are all boomers. So it’s no surprise that they seem to imagine that the
