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
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
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.
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.
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 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

Saint Greta of Thunberg is splashing the headlines for getting an all-expenses-paid jaunt with daddy across the Atlantic on a very flash, very fast yacht. I wouldn’t mind that experience either. But St Greta is stacking up brownie points by the dozen with this exercise in virtue signalling. It
It behoves me to confirm what many suspected already: Wellington’s ‘leadership’ gaggle of Trotskyites, Bolsheviks, and silly children are all officially brain-dead. This confirmation came in today’s news when announcing that previous, and suitably ridiculous, ‘optimistic’ estimates of probable sea-level rise of 60cm per century (triple the observed
If I was throwing a dinner party and had to choose between inviting a hardcore Amway enthusiast and a vegan, well, just sign me up for a fun evening learning how to earn extra income. Amway are notorious for the cult-like evangelism of their members, whose persistence would shame a
Whenever you’re being regaled with a climate alarmist’s latest hysterical claim that the entire planet is on the cusp of being roasted to a cinder, the most important thing to keep in mind is that they’re almost certainly not talking about the real world. Instead, their scaremongering
I knew truth did not belong in fairy tales Meant for all the thinkers not for me Facts were out to get me That's the way it seemed Failed predictions dashing all my dreams But I heard the farce, now I'm a believer Not a trace
