Macca While listening to Magic Talk off and on, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment regarding the Green’s true agenda. I missed a lot of it but the talk was about the use of large furnaces to burn plastics and other rubbish. My understanding of this process
Stuff is just loving the pimping of climate catastrophe on their site. The latest thing attributed to climate change is a hot summer’s day: Apparently Auckland, presumably due to climate change as they’ve plonked the story under that category, has used a lot of water. When you click
The arse-covering and blame-shifting in the wake of Australia’s catastrophic summer continues with unseemly haste. It goes without saying that the odious Greens were first out the gate, trying to exploit the fires for grubby political advantage, even as forests, houses, wildlife and people were burning. Now, politicians and
… and will never do so again. There were a couple of reasons why I stopped donating. The first was because so many charities are effectively political activists these days. If I donate to a cause, I want the money to go to that cause, not to political advertising or activism.
The Legacy media long ago abandoned rigorous truth-telling, in favour of peddling influence and “narratives”. The Legacy media too often don’t report the news any more, they try and make it. A case in point was the “Amazon is burning” propaganda avalanche, late last year. Never mind that the
Humans have an unfortunate tendency to view the peculiarities of their particular time and place as a kind of immutable standard. But, as Heracleitus wrote so long ago, “all is flux”. Change is the only constant in nature. Too many Australians today think that the “natural” state of the land
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Politicians hide behind enquiries – their magic answer to all problems, especially bushfires. Announcing enquiries give the impression of decisive action, they generate fees for armies of barristers, lawyers and bureaucrats, and provide momentary excitement for the media. The proposed 2020 Australian Bushfires corrobboree will provide a
The Green-left are like the sort of gullible rubes who’ll happily buy any old tat, so long as the seller waves their hands and mysteriously intones some mumbo-jumbo about “wooo…ancient wisdom”. Or Mrs Costanza on Seinfeld, who thought that something was only “wise” so long as it came
Musical satirist Tom Lehrer once wrote, If you visit American city, you will find it very pretty. Just two things of which you must beware: don’t drink the water and don’t breath the air! 55 years later, and his prediction is half-right: some of America’s best-known cities
As I recently wrote, Victoria has consistently failed to meet the hazard reduction targets recommended by the Black Saturday royal commission. In fact, not only has Australia’s wokest state completely failed to meet its own targets, even those targets were well short of what the royal commission recommended. Worse,
The images of horribly burned animals that have emerged from the Australian bushfires are certainly heartbreaking, but the unholy glee with which green-left activists have rushed to exploit such suffering is disgraceful. While it might be excused as politics-as-normal to never let a good crisis go to waste, the Greens’
Gail Many decades ago a young woman sat with her classmates in a convent chapel atop a windy hill in Wellington. A Franciscan priest stood before them. He had been chosen by the nuns to conduct the annual retreat for senior pupils, a time of silence, reflection and contemplation. Winter
Dr. John Robson investigates the unsound origins and fundamental inaccuracy, even dishonesty, of the claim that 97% of scientists, or “the world’s scientists”, or something agree that climate change is man-made, urgent and dangerous.

As I’ve written before for The BFD, Victoria is Australia’s wokest state, and, one way after another, they’re paying the price for their “progressive” virtue-signalling. From rampant African gang crime to failing energy infrastructure, Victorians are reaping the rewards of electing socialist Daniel Andrews. Twice. What’s
Viv Forbes saltbushclub.com Green Folly closed forest tracks and gates, expelled foresters and timber-workers and prevented property owners from removing flammable fuel from their own land and adjacent roads, parks and forests. Those responsible for these follies should face Class Action. Green Folly promotes electric vehicles but not one
As Australia suffers through its bushfire crisis, some have dug up some alarming Islamist propaganda from a few years ago. U.S. officials monitoring terrorist web sites have discovered a call for using forest fires as weapons against “crusader” nations, in what may explain some recent wildfires in places like
