Bryan Leyland The NZ Climate Commission claim that they provide “evidence based” information on their website and in their 2021 “Draft Advice for Consultation”. The fact is that many of the recommendations they make in the advice report are not backed up by the evidence, are technically and economically unachievable
Dr Muriel Newman nzcpr.com Earlier this month the Climate Commission released their draft report to the Government. It is so extreme that even typically conservative economists are expressing alarm. Without any exaggeration, if implemented, the Commission’s plan would radically transform New Zealand, from a country which is still
We are currently in the grip of not one but two, virus-like predicaments. One, COVID-19, is very obvious because of the way it is constantly drawn to our attention by our prime minister and her minions, the news (or should that be views) media. COVID-19 is a very real problem
Dr John Maunder sunlive.co.nz Monthly rainfalls for Tauranga have been recorded at several recording sites during the last 123 years. From January 1898 to December 1904, the observation site was described as the Tauranga Harbour, from November 1904 to April 1907 the site was described as simply ‘Tauranga’
Many commenters here on The BFD have raised valid questions following the release of the recent Climate Change Commission report. This report suggests that the way forward for New Zealand is for everyone to switch to electric vehicles and for all gas cooking, gas water heating and gas home heating
Rod Carr, Head Logic Denier and author of the absurd Climate Change Commission report, seems to suggest that if we destroy everything that we love about New Zealand, we will be able to save about 1/1000th of a degree and thereby save us all from melting. What this clown
In last Friday’s Herald Simon Wilson was back on his hobbyhorse of transport in Auckland. Normally I find plenty of Simon’s content to disagree with but this article had more common sense than usual. The common sense was largely made up of points few would find a reason
Until this year, for me at least, Waitangi Day has been a time for reflection on the history of our land and its people. But this year it’s been more worrying about where we are heading in the future. Sadly, what I “C” (see) is a concerning and complicated
Enjoying a few drinks at a Saturday night barbeque with our neighbours, the subject of the Climate Commission’s proposal inevitably came up. These people are originally from Christchurch, generally left leaning (but not rabid lefties), happy with changing all the place names in New Zealand to Maori names and
Like the High Priests of old who dispensed their eschatological, imminent destruction, end-of-times world view, the new high priests of Climate dismiss criticism of their faith with all the conceit, arrogance and glibness of their predecessors. We were treated to such a display last week by Dr Rod Carr in
New Conservative Our congratulations and commiserations go out to our nation’s primary producers, those who make us a prosperous country, those on whom we depend in times of economic hardship, those who toil seven days a week, almost every day of the year, our farmers. Congratulations because recent thorough
There is activism and then there is extremism. Do you think that any of the views expressed by today’s face of the day, Investment Advisor Dr Paul Winton slide into the realm of extremism? Carbon emissions would drop significantly if cattle were not replaced when they die and tree
One of the most comforting aspects of The Climate Change Commission’s latest report describing the roadmap towards making NZ carbon-free is that it has been left to Ardern’s government to implement. And as we all know, when Ardern makes a statement like “The Government will not hold back”
It seems the direction the country is going will be determined by the Climate Commission, not least in reference to the name of our island group where in their ridiculous report, released this week, we are referred to as Aotearoa 435 times in its 188 pages–yes, you read that
What we are faced with is not just mindless, irresponsible scaremongering from poseurs in and around Wellington’s Beehive for their nefarious political ends; now we have it in Auckland in what was once hailed as the nation’s No 1 daily newspaper, the New Zealand Herald. There was a
James Renwick Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington My background is in atmospheric science, with plenty of maths and statistics on the side.
