As the Australian media-elite relentlessly hammers its “climate emergency” narrative during Australia’s bushfire crisis, many citizen journalists have been digging through Australia’s available old newspapers, turning up story after story to debunk hyperbolic media claims.

Gail Many decades ago a young woman sat with her classmates in a convent chapel atop a windy hill in Wellington. A Franciscan priest stood before them. He had been chosen by the nuns to conduct the annual retreat for senior pupils, a time of silence, reflection and contemplation. Winter
As the Australian bushfire crisis rages on, the dominant narrative of the media-elite is: “it’s climate change!” From vulturine green politicians to multi-millionaire Hollywood celebrities and scowling teenage brats, the consensus of the virtue-signalling ignorant is unanimous. But, just because these empty vessels are making the
There’s no bow too long for the screeching ninnies of climate alarmism to draw. Climate change has already been blamed for everything from a surplus of prostitutes to a shortage of maple syrup. Worse, though, is the unseemly haste with which green zealots rush to exploit any tragedy. The
