Are Electric Cars Really Green?
Are electric cars greener than conventional gasoline cars? If so, how much greener? What about the CO2 emissions produced during electric cars’ production?

Environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, examines how environmentally friendly electric cars
An Emblem of the Stupidity of Our Age

The Wolf in Dragon’s Clothing Prowls the Pacific
The clown-show that is the Pacific Islands Forum came to a fitting conclusion yesterday, with a rogues’ gallery of banana republics lining up with their hands out. But, in their greed for foreign handouts, Pacific nations seem dangerously blind to the wolf that they’re inviting into their complacent sheep-fold.
Scott Morrison Stands Firm Against Jacinda’s Virtue-Bullying
If Jacinda Ardern thought Scott Morrison was going to be intimidated by her and her little friends’ mean-girl bullying act at the Pacific Islands Forum, she was sorely disappointed. In contrast to Ardern’s constant posturing for applause from the globalist peanut gallery at the UN, Morrison reminded her of
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

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
