The Nazis’ Favourite Colour? Deep, Dark Green

  • Alistair Crooks
  • 24th June 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (3)

As soon as Adolf Hitler assumed power in 1934 he enshrined environmentalism as a guiding principle, explicitly including organic farming and sustainability as key items of the agenda. Those policies fared no better than that of today's Greens, albeit with one exception: the Nazis never tried to run the Reich on wind power

When the Goddess of Folly Calls the Shots

  • Michael Kile
  • 24th June 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

Who can deny that life would be dull without the involvement of Madame Folly? She thrives among desperados searching frantically for a workable plan and especially enjoys cavorting with folk who believe they can control the weather. But most of all she adores those who insist the cause of an energy crisis is also its solution

Green Doctors: Suitable Cases for Treatment

  • Tony Thomas

Along with hermaphrodite toads, snowless ski slopes, empty dams and extreme weather events (formerly known as 'storms'), it seems climate change drives otherwise bright people to venture far beyond the reach of reason. The medicos imploring women in labour to forego the pain relief of nitrous oxide, a minor greenhouse gas, illustrate one of the more extreme symptoms

Multicoloured Fantasies of a World High on Hydrogen

  • Peter Smith
  • 5th June 2022

You might not have noticed, but the hydrogen wars are just beginning as mendicant advocates for the rival blue, green and brown production methods jostle for taxpayer subsidies. They talk a good game about commercial potential but their pharaonic mega projects could never, ever pass muster in a sane world

Compost That Corpse. It’s for the Planet

  • Tony Thomas

icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (22)

Is there no aspect of modern life -- and death, for that matter -- the climateers aren't keen to repurpose as palliatives for Gaia's climate-change torments? No, there isn't, not even the business of disposing of the dead, whose last sin against Nature is that of requiring carbon-intensive burials and, worst of all, cremations. These days, your dutiful green corpse insists on being left to rot

The Selective Targets of Green Scorn

  • Brian Wimborne
  • 11th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (15)

The Greens are troubled people, not mad, but not normal either. Like all left-wing apparatchiks, they rely totally on ideological theory to project political and social reforms. In so doing, they reject rational thought -- a trait that explains, amongst other things, their implacable opposition to carbon-free nuclear power

Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Green

  • Tony Thomas
  • 9th May 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (10)

Teachers frequently complain about the burdens of the crowded curriculum, that there is just too much knowledge they must impart. Well teachers would say that, but take them at their word and wonder, if there aren't enough hours in the day to do their jobs, why they are wasting so much time abetting activists determined to lead young minds down Gaia's garden path

More Fishy Claims About the Reef

  • Walter Starck
  • 2nd May 2022

Spanish mackerel is widespread in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific region, with a population in Australian waters that must surely run to millions. Yet on the flimsiest of 'evidence' and with a blind eye for inconvenient but indisputable facts, Queensland bureaucrats are keen to dismantle a viable industry

The Green Goblins Terrifying Our Kids

  • Tony Thomas
  • 30th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (6)

It’s not as if children leaf through the IPCC's alarmist reports at bedtime, yet they are absorbing the full measure of doom-laden nonsense about a planet racing towards catastrophe. For the Climate Council, psychologists, psychiatrists and teachers, scaring the daylights out of youngsters is a growth industry

Explosive Fuels, Koala Plagues and Megafires

  • Vic Jurskis
  • 20th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (3)

Koalas are cute so fanciful tales of their allegedly imminent extinction work a treat as donation magnets and grant generators, although not for the bush and less favoured species whose survival depends on sensible fire management. While alarums are rung for a species doing just fine, who gives a thought to the truly endangered but far less cuddly broad-headed snake?
