Wind turbines create ‘clean’ energy and do not release evil CO2 or dirty carbon into the atmosphere. This, we are told, is a wonderful thing. But what is the net CO2 output or saving when a wind turbine catches fire and burns 242 acres of brush and scrubland that was
There is all manner of interesting information available online these days. Transpower who are responsible for the NZ national power grid has a most informative website. On their site was a paper about forecasting wind generation and, after reading the article, the words from a 70s song sprang to mind.
What are the police paid to do? An illegal roadblock is installed and the police leave it in place. A senior citizen removes it to go about his lawful pursuits and the protestors call the police. Madness! A Redfield retiree ripped down an Extinction Rebellion blockade so he could drive
Journalist Simon Wilson has finally found out who is responsible for New Zealand’s Climate Change Emergency. * No, it is not India or China * No, it is not fossil fuel * No, it is not oil or gas * No, it is not cars and cows * No, it is not plastic and
Ever since the selection of the CoL, New Zealand’s population has suffered a blitzkrieg of the IPCC climate change farce. There is absolutely no scientific proof of this anthropogenic global warming alarmist hypothesis that calls for a “Climate Emergency”, yet we are told again and again: “the debate is
Peter Williams must be pleased to be free of the TVNZ censor. How it must have rankled with him to have to read all the auto-cue items on the TVNZ ‘news’ bulletins. He has now come out. I am so over the nonsense that is being propagated by politicians and
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am Stuffed in the middle with you. The only good thing about this latest piece of climate emergency idiocy is that the writer keeps talking about ‘global warming’. The official figures say that the trend since December 1978
Good old Stuff & Nonsense are beating the climate emergency drum as loud as they can. One has to wonder what financial inducements there are behind this Stuff & Nonsense campaign for them to be so hard out on the climate crises and so low on facts and reality. For
How delicious! Mike is going to sue the gummint for climate change. They either agree with him and pay out or they argue that he is wrong on all counts – which he is – and have to admit that the whole thing is a charade. The Treaty of Waitangi promised that
Remember the survey Stuff ran about Climate Change? The results are out. Nothing to write home about but this is what the Editor has said about providing balanced reporting.
Greens veteran Bob Brown has suddenly discovered that he isn’t that keen on wind farms after all. After years of sneering at we the Luddites, who objected to the ugly, “bat-chomping bird-slicing eco-crucifixes”, the announcement of plans to build a colossal wind farm in Tasmania has had a galvanising
When Erik the Red first arrived in Greenland, the fertile green land was perfect for farming. But within a few centuries the thriving Viking settlements had been wiped out by global cooling. The Little Ice Age is one of many climactic eras that have been scientifically identified. Since about 1850
Since this data is from the New Scientist magazine it must be true! The transmission and viewing of online videos generates 300 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, or nearly 1 per cent of global emissions. On-demand video services such as Netflix account for a third of this, with
It was the recent headline on Whaleoil regurgitating JAG’s statement: “Climate change is our generation’s WW2 moment” that absolutely flabbergasted me. Climate change is not our WW2 moment, climate change is a con job. Our current climate and climate changes are all normal and well within the historical
We have students wagging school. We have councils and even whole countries declaring climate emergencies when, for the most part, the weather is still behaving pretty much as it normally does. I mean – it is winter, so it is cold, right? Yes, it is. Jacinda claimed that climate change was
