The ‘Architecture Critic’ Who Hugged a Tree
BFD readers no doubt belong to that vast majority of happy folk, greatly to be envied, who neither know nor care who Elizabeth Farrelly is. So I must apologise for bursting your bubbles of blissful ignorance. If there was a pictorial calendar of watermelons, Farrelly would be its cover girl.
Jacinda Plays the Mean Girl – From a Safe Distance
When I was a lad, Mum told me something about bullies: they’re only tough when they’re in a pack. They don’t have the guts to mouth off when they’re on their own, she said. For all her prattle about “kindness”, Jacinda Ardern is acting a lot

Should Council Declare a Climate Emergency?
The definition of climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period. The definition of an emergency is a sudden, urgent, usually unexpected occurrence or occasion requiring immediate action. The synergy produced from putting climate and emergency together creates a whole new beast,
Forbes Censors a Skeptical Astrophysicist’s Article
Dr Nir J. Shaviv is a well-known astrophysicist with over 100 scientific papers to his credit and he is currently chairman of the Racah Institute of Physics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I think it’s safe to say that Dr. Shaviv knows a thing or two about science
Things that Make Me Go Hmm
Oh dear, this from the Danish Meteorological Institute itself – not record heat waves on the ice like the alarmists have been screaming about for the last few days just faulty equipment/readings.
‘Go Away’ Money or Buying Loyalty?
Is Scott Morrison handing out half a billion dollars in “go-away” money? Or buying Pacific loyalty? Of course, it would impolite to tell the blunt truth these days. Instead, it’s being diplomatically described as “climate change funding”. Scott Morrison will announce $500 million in climate change funding when he
Farmer Meets Dopey Socialist Cow
Primary producers are well-acquainted with the yawning gap between the catastrophist fantasies of insular, thoroughly urbanised watermelons and the reality of actually living and working with the natural world. Farmers, perhaps more than anyone, are aware that they stand to be forced to endure the cost and disruption of the
The Sunday Roast
This week’s Roastee had to be Auckland Mayor Phil Goff with his announcement of his intention to purchase a battery-powered tug boat. Apart from the fact that the tug needs to be recharged every four hours, there were plenty of other farcical points to be dissected by BFD readers.
Arctic Ice Refuses To Melt As Ordered
In 2008 I wrote my first climate article, titled “Arctic Ice Refuses To Melt As Ordered.” In this video I show what has happened in the Arctic since then. The incompetence and dishonesty of our top climate scientists is quite impressive.
Bad Science
For every David Attenborough, Prince Harry or James Shaw there are at least as many man-made climate change sceptics supported by science. But how good is the science? Sanjeev Sabhlok writing for Climate Change Dispatch says “Driven by Bad Science, Climate Change Climate Alarm is an Excuse to Ignore Real
The Government Is Going to Wreck Our Economy
The Greens conference at the weekend may have been mostly done behind closed doors, but snippets came out, including James Shaw calling Simon Bridges a “climate change denier”. We all know Bridges is no denier, but his attitude towards climate change is somewhat more benign than that of the Green
