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
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,
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
Earth has ice in its veins and nations like New Zealand are wasting resources and energy needlessly panicking over fossil fuels and so-called “climate emergencies”, says a New Zealand geologist once dubbed by Stuff as one of the“intellectual heavyweights of the Canterbury geological sciences department”. Over the years,
When any discussion sinks to the level of attacking the person rather than the topic or issue at hand, it is a sign that the attacker has lost. When their position is so weak that debating the facts cannot convince their opponent, an ad hominem attack is a resort of
Currently, most of our electricity is generated by renewables, around 80%. But when we all get on board the JAG wagon and buy EVs where is the extra electricity going to come from? Dr Woods is now too busy knocking up Kiwibuild houses to get her 4.5 windfarms per
You couldn’t make it up. The MAGICC calculator was developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research under funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the acronym stands for the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse-gas Induced Climate Change). And they expect us to
Normally the answer to that question would revolve around whether you had been out playing in the mud with your 4×4 or the time elapsed since you last visited the carwash or got out the bucket and cloth. But no, in the brave new world of climate idiocy, ‘dirty’
The single-use government’s latest neuron-free generational moment proposal is a tax on internal combustion engines to bribe the gullible into buying un-green electric vehicles. What happened in the UK when they tried this? Did no one think to fly over to London on a fact-finding
By George I would like to consider myself a handyman. If something needs fixing I’ll give it a go. And then my beloved will engage plan B and call in an expert to rectify the worsening situation. It is accepted that most of us rely on specialists to ensure
