Why give the industry the idealistic goals of “affordable, sustainable energy” when the government is crippling it with legislation devoid of common sense? “Aotearoa New Zealand’s
A Michael Moore-backed documentary Planet of the Humans that investigates Alternative Energy makes the startling point that the green energy movement has proven to be counter-productive.

Mike Smith (Ngapuhi, Ngati Kahu), of Change Iwi Leaders Group, has lodged proceedings in the High Court against seven companies he claims are failing to protect Maori from climate change (never mind about the rest of us). “Maori are particularly vulnerable to climate change, being Disproportionately represented amongst the poor,
You really do have to wonder with this government if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. They axed our lucrative oil and gas industries, citing the fact that they want to concentrate entirely on renewable energy sources. New Zealand is already a great place for this,
As I wrote in part one of this story, every time some new environmental or climate change moral panic suddenly sweeps the legacy media and its whip-cracker, social media, it pays to immediately check to see which summit is scheduled to begin soon, or which left-wing politician is trying to
The first Earth Day was in 1970, and back then, many ‘apocalyptic’ predictions were made about the environment. Mark Perry at Carpe Diem AEIdeas blog has gone back and looked at them in order to present us with all the predictions that they got so spectacularly wrong 49 years ago.

So when the social
If you haven’t already discovered No Punches Pulled I highly recommend that you check it out. One of Sir Bob’s recent blog posts is on Climate change conferences and he doesn’t disappoint. We’re being hammered about our wicked ways with plastic, dairy farming, cars etc, the

Riffing on the name of a popular science website, it has been remarked that “Everyone f-ing loves science – until it contradicts their personal bullshit”. Never a truer word could be said about, not just activists, but so-called ‘science journalists’ who don’t seem to grasp even the fundamentals of science.
Fun fact for a Tuesday: There is no professional standard low enough, none, that Stuff cannot plunge beneath. They are positively subterranean news-disseminators, Media dung-beetles.
