Is Scott Morrison handing out half a billion dollars in “go-away” money? Or buying Pacific loyalty? Of course, it would impolite to tell the blunt truth these days. Instead, it’s being diplomatically described as “climate change funding”. Scott Morrison will announce $500 million in climate change funding when he
In 2008 I wrote my first climate article, titled “Arctic Ice Refuses To Melt As Ordered.” In this video I show what has happened in the Arctic since then. The incompetence and dishonesty of our top climate scientists is quite impressive.
The Greens conference at the weekend may have been mostly done behind closed doors, but snippets came out, including James Shaw calling Simon Bridges a “climate change denier”. We all know Bridges is no denier, but his attitude towards climate change is somewhat more benign than that of the Green

Saint Greta of Thunberg is splashing the headlines for getting an all-expenses-paid jaunt with daddy across the Atlantic on a very flash, very fast yacht. I wouldn’t mind that experience either. But St Greta is stacking up brownie points by the dozen with this exercise in virtue signalling. It
She has the magical power of being able to see a colourless, odourless, trace gas and even makes the cover of Vogue alongside our Dear Leader. However, some French political leaders are not drinking the Kool-Aid. As James Delingpole so eloquently stated in February: Her alarmist rhetoric was exactly the
Sometimes you just have to wonder! Let’s freeze the Arctic to make up for all the ice those nasty farmers in New Zealand have melted with their farting cows. A team of designers led by Faris Rajak Kotahatuhaha proposes re-freezing sea water in the Arctic to create miniature modular
Tony Heller once again with facts debunks the alarmist MSM with all their dire headlines. I just love how he uses what has been written in the past along with readily available data to destroy the alarmist argument. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send
Environmentalism is the ultimate luxury item. Only the rich can afford to work themselves into a lather about the mooted possibility that people 100 years from now might be 2 percent less wealthy than they might otherwise have been. Ordinary people are too busy trying to make sure the lights
Wind turbines create ‘clean’ energy and do not release evil CO2 or dirty carbon into the atmosphere. This, we are told, is a wonderful thing. But what is the net CO2 output or saving when a wind turbine catches fire and burns 242 acres of brush and scrubland that was
Greens veteran Bob Brown has suddenly discovered that he isn’t that keen on wind farms after all. After years of sneering at we the Luddites, who objected to the ugly, “bat-chomping bird-slicing eco-crucifixes”, the announcement of plans to build a colossal wind farm in Tasmania has had a galvanising
Since this data is from the New Scientist magazine it must be true! The transmission and viewing of online videos generates 300 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, or nearly 1 per cent of global emissions. On-demand video services such as Netflix account for a third of this, with
By John Rofe It is easy for someone with a balanced perspective to see why it is impossible for carbon dioxide (CO2) to have any measurable effect on climate. Further, from 100 years ago, starting with the superstars of science like Anders Angstrom and Niels Bohr onwards, the scientific community
Tell me it isn’t true! Surely the models are not programmed to show a warming world as a result of increasing CO2? State-of-the-art climate models predict that as a result of human-induced climate change, the surface of the Pacific Ocean should be warming—some parts more, some less, but
It’s getting pretty hard to keep up with the ever-shifting nomenclature of climate catastrophism. Those of us with longer memories will recall the “New Ice Age” of the 1970s, which was climate change before it was cool, so to speak. But global cooling was quickly elbowed aside by “global
