An estimated one million people took to Chile streets protesting about who knows what, much like France’s yellow vests and Hong Kong’s student uprisings, ongoing displays of dissatisfaction. Around the world, instigators and leaders of social change are invisible, freely muddying the waters with their anonymity and hidden
As we have alluded to several times recently at The BFD, there are markedly different approaches to environmental issues which seem notably dependent on one’s political philosophy. For instance, the Klimate Kult is fixated on narcissistic public protest almost entirely dissociated from empirical reality, while offering no solutions other
The most striking thing about the whole climate alarmism cult is just how thoroughly bourgeois it all is. Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of Etonian toffs playing dress-ups and inconveniencing working-class people. The “schools strikes” are awash with private school blazers. “Climate summits” are religious holidays for celebrities, a mix
It’s notable that geologists and meteorologists tend to be rather more openly skeptical of climate alarmism than many of their colleagues. Meteorologists are used to being held to account for their predictions, while geologists are used to evaluating the Earth’s environments in deep time. Geologists tend to take

How many times have you seen a statement to the effect: Plastic is designed to last forever, but is only used for a minute. Zerowasteguy – (no link as I don’t want him to feel important) Fortunately, there are still some scientists out there doing actual real science, and a
Well not sure quite how I missed it but apparently an entire year has gone by since the Whaleoil Raceteam ventured out in the mighty Mustang for a week of doing skids down here on the Big Island. But time has definitely passed us by and here we are again,
As we recently reported on The BFD, wind turbines are a “renewable” energy source which creates a whole host of environmental problems of its own. Not only do the eco-crucifixes slaughter birds and bats on an industrial scale, they leave a shocking and enduring waste legacy behind when their short
As annoying children are wont to do, the gibbering nutbars of the Krazy Klimate Kult, “Extinction Rebellion”, have spent the past few weeks throwing tanties and generally getting under everyone’s feet. These loons would simply be dismissed as just another nutty religious cult if they’d just stop inconveniencing
It’s not been a good couple of weeks for vegan activist Chris Delforce. First, it was revealed that his mother – who is apparently very supportive of her little boy’s anti-farm bullying – is a senior agriculture bureaucrat in the Australian government. Next, it transpired that his “Aussie Farms” map
Viv Forbes Viv Forbes has science qualifications and field experience in reading the history of extinctions in Earth’s rocky archives. We don’t need rowdy Extinction Reb-hellions on our streets – we need Education on Extinctions in our science academies, classrooms and media. Extinctions are natural events that close every
Contrary to what the Greens would have us believe, some new research has painted a different story about the plastic in the oceans. It is not from us landlubbers but from those who should be more interested in looking after the environment that they work in. It seems that merchant
It seems that anti-farmer activism doesn’t begin at home for animal activist Chris Delforce. Delforce is the activist behind the insidious “Aussie Farms” map, which lists the location and contact details of every farm in Australia. The map, along with Delforce’s nutty “documentary”, Dominion, have been the driving
