Terry Dunleavy The Climate Commission claims that “We provide independent, evidence-based advice to Government to help Aotearoa New Zealand transition to a low-emissions and climate-resilient economy.” Note “…evidence-based…” Spending huge amounts of money on a low-emissions economy is only justified if there is scientifically convincing evidence that man-made greenhouse gases
The Green Party really does have very little grip on reality. First of all, Julie Anne Genter is proposing ‘pop-up’ cycleways and footpaths, in order to make social distancing easier, when we all know that the best way to practise social distancing is to stay in the car. These ‘pop-up’
One of the best things about the COVID-19 pandemic is that everyone has forgotten about climate change. We are all much more worried about getting sick; about infecting others or being infected by others; of looking after elderly parents or relatives and trying to survive financially. Times are tough for
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

A paywalled article in the Financial Times reports the musings of Cambridge Professor of Engineering and the Environment, Julian Allwood. His conclusion is that the only way for aviation to hit net zero by 2050 is to stop flying. Yeah right! Dreaming of electric planes and planting trees will not
Who cares? Thousands of year-13s are moving on and will no doubt go on to wonderful and useful careers. Why does “Stuffed” think anybody cares what a tiny minority of ill-informed, rowdy followers (please note – NOT leaders – trendy followers), are going to do? Why do they qualify for a special
James Shaw and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern cooking and serving up sausages and bacon for the masses while teaching our children that meat and dairy are causing climate change.
In an exceptionally brilliant piece of bluff calling, Professor Andrew Parker of St John’s College at Oxford University trolled the idiotic students at one of the UK’s most prestigious educational establishments. Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting
I get the feeling that Jacinda suddenly wants to be taken seriously. She has announced that there will be no wedding this year, thus presumably responding to the #Turnardern movement that said we want a prime minister who doesn’t spend all her time doing fluff pieces and photoshoots. She

Barbara McKenzie stovouno.org How does it make you feel? One of the strangest aspects of a supposedly scientific subject, where one would expect the application of some objectivity, is the emphasis on and encouragement of emotional response. This is introduced as early as lesson two with ‘The Feelings Splash:
