Green Misanthropes Celebrate Global Death
It takes a special kind of creep to celebrate a global pandemic that’s cost the lives of some 200,000 people. But then, we already knew that greens are special kinds of creeps. And they’re not holding back in celebrating death and misery in the name of holy
Earth Day: 50 Years of First-World Problems
Every now and then, I pick up a book which slaps my mindset into a new paradigm. No seed flowers on barren soil, of course, so in it’s true that in some ways I might be mentally primed to receive the message such books impart. Nonetheless, I am lucky
It’s In The Bag
It is very interesting to watch the ‘single-use’ plastic bag becoming a warrior in the war on COVID-19. Here among the sensible folk at The BFD it has always been a given that reusable shopping bags were a health hazard. Never more so than now. New York San Francisco Massachusetts
The Deep Green State Long Marches On
O’Sullivan’s Law states that “any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right-wing will become left-wing over time”. This is in part because leftists tend to only tolerate other leftists. Multiple surveys have shown that conservatives are twice as likely as ‘liberals’ to tolerate different opinions. So once
The High Cost of Green Lawfare
In the late 70s and early 80s, race hustlers in the United States discovered a new – and lucrative – tactic: lawfare. It was so simple: just level an accusation of racism at a corporate target and watch them rush to settle. After all, with ambulance-chasing lawyers willing to work pro bono

Andrews Govt Stalls on Bushfire Royal Commission

Green Vandals Are Destroying the Planet to Save It

A Bad Case of Wind in Colorado
Dave Pine The beautiful state of Colorado is known to be a Millennial Greenie hipster’s paradise. Their environmental policies are usually a good indication of which direction the rest of the US will head. “Wind turbine blades won’t be buried in the Logan County landfill any longer. Although
More DIRTY Secrets of Electric Cars
What is electric cars’ dirty little secret? Is it the batteries made with minerals dug up by children in dirty, dangerous, slave-like conditions? Is it the greenhouse gas 1,400 times more potent than CO2 which is used as a coolant by Chevy, Nissan and Tesla? It’s something – several
More Costs for Ratepayers from Central Government
The government has released a Draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity. It seems to be trying to right all the wrongs out in the environment and is going to be very costly for Local Authorities (read ‘Ratepayers’ – you and me) to implement. As drafted, it goes well beyond the
Bring Back the Single Use Plastic Bag!
How much petrol is consumed lugging around the copious, now slightly grubby, jute grocery bags that litter my car boot, travelling where I do? I yearn for the old clutter free boot days. How will we feel about hauling them through Coronavirus infested supermarkets? “People do reuse tote bags, but
