voicesforfreedom.co.nz I have been reading about the proposed changes to parking, speed limits and road layout for our village. My first question is: “What is the problem that this proposal is solving?” The ‘Streets for People’ project is one that is being rolled out around the country – and
As I’ve reported several times before, claims of a so-called “Sixth Mass Extinction” are not just exaggerated, but almost entirely fact-free. Their central claims — that X number of species are going extinct, and that this is Y times the “background rate” — are at best highly conjectural, at worst, deliberately
cfact.org Despite public proclamations of innocence, it turns out BOEM and NOAA clearly acknowledge the deadly threat of offshore wind development to marine mammals. Not surprisingly they do it in documents that are subject to judicial review, lest they be caught fibbing. Of course these admissions are well hidden,
cfact.org The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC – they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy,
Is there anything good about wind turbines? The monstrosities are a blight on rural landscapes: a munching, menacing monster to birds and bats (including dozens of endangered wedge-tailed eagles in Tasmania) and a toxic nightmare to both build and dispose of. And for all that, we get unreliable, intermittent electricity

Over the weekend, Germany shut down its last three remaining nuclear power plants and experts are mixed on the repercussions, if any. With climate change solutions a top priority and many countries working on expanding nuclear energy, German officials decided to make good on the promise to remove the reactors.

John Maunder A panel discussion on “Climate Change: Both Sides of the Story” was held at a Rotary Conference in Cambridge, New Zealand on June 28 2008. I was President of the Rotary Club of Otumoetai for 2007-08 at this time, and the Rotary District Governor John Tarbutt asked me
Another day, another dodgy study, over-hyped by a sensationalist and scientifically illiterate legacy media. I hate to break it to you, despite what the headlines have been gushing, but thylacines (the “Tasmanian Tiger”) probably did not survive “into the 1980s and beyond”. Even I’d like to believe otherwise, but
Do “renewables” make anything better? Almost everything the Climate Cult claims about renewables is nonsense. They’re not “emissions free”, they’re certainly not cheaper and they certainly aren’t saving the environment. Wind turbines are not just visually polluting, they’re particularly destructive of wildlife. Vast footprints of natural
Adam Houser cfact.org Adam Houser coordinates student leaders as national director of CFACT’s collegians program and writes on issues of climate and energy. In an intriguing development, a new biodegradable bottle has been invented that disintegrates once torn up and placed under water. The product, called “GoneShells”, is
In a truly rational world, Paul Ehrlich would be a punch-line, if remembered at all. Ehrlich’s entire career has been a masterclass in how to be wrong, consistently and about everything. Yet, far from a figure of universal mockery, Ehrlich remains a guru to the green-left. How is this
