I guess it is only a matter of time before the Climate Alarmists claim the victory in the climate crisis being averted due to everyone staying at home. The fact that many rational people believe that the sun, not CO2, has a major effect on our climate and that the
Let’s suppose that CO2 actually does control the average global temperature. It would thus be critical that the whole carbon cycle was extremely well understood in order for climate models to be accurate in their prediction of how mankind’s puny CO2 outputs are going to affect the future
We were told that refrigerant gases and CFCs and spray cans and stuff were all terribly bad because they caused a huge hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic. So all the non-patented gases were banned and we all had to change to newly invented and patented (more

It is time for one last look at the snow graph. It is a little over a month since The BFD last reported on the amount of snow in the northern hemisphere winter, so time to look again. Eyeballing that, it appears to have peaked at 3250 Gigatons, up some
An interesting paper has been presented showing an apparent link between COVID-19 hotspots and cooler temperatures. The authors state that the virus has “established significant community spread in cities and regions only along a narrow east west distribution roughly along the 30-50 N” corridor at consistently similar weather
Oh dear, oh, dear. It seems all is not rosy in the green world of hybrid motoring. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) owners are not actually saving the planet. Woe is me! It seems that the claimed ‘economy’ figures touted by the manufacturers are not actually achievable out

Just when you thought the world could not get any more bizarre, a purveyor of the filthy fossil fuels that are essentially carbon, declares that it is going to be ‘net zero by 2050’. Presumably they mean net zero business, net zero profit and net zero point in existing? It
It was approximately a month ago that The BFD featured this graph, so it is time to check in again on Dr David Viner’s prediction that children soon won’t know what snow is. Dr Viner predicted in 2000 that “within a few years winter snowfall will become a

From the “I mentioned climate change and greenhouse gases so send more money” files; this research would appear to be clutching at straws in a search for relevance. Either that or they are simply taking the piss. Wildlife ecologist Associate Professor Topa Petit, in her Kangaroo Island-based research found
Get them hooked and then slug them later when they are far too invested in the product to back away. Clearly IONITY, a European EV charging network, were thinking this when they hiked their EV charging prices by more than 500%. I am sure that the fact that this happened
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
