You are all worthless, insignificant trash and deserve to die! This is the message of Julia Roberts’s cheery infomercial for the environmental campaign group Conservation International, in which she assumes the persona of Mother Nature and dumps all over the
A New Mexico physicist has launched a petition – signed by 22,000 Klimate-Kool-Aid-drinkers, and counting – demanding that from henceforward climate sceptics be referred to in the media by their proper name. That proper name, apparently, is “climate deniers”. Among
Ever since Climategate, the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia has enjoyed just international renown as a world centre of data-fudgin’, scientific-method-abusin’, FOI-dodgin’, decline-hidin’, grant-troughin’, junk-science-endorsin’ global warming propaganda. But did you know that the chap who
The big story in all the papers this week is that butter is good for you, after all. I say “after all” because for most of my life butter has been widely touted by the Health Establishment as the dietary
“Fiddling temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever,” says Christopher Booker, not pulling his punches. And I think he’s right not to do so. If – as Booker, myself, and few others suspect – the guardians of the world’s
Here’s a video that you absolutely must see. Not, I hasten to warn you, because it’s exciting, well-produced or informative; rather, because of the fascinating light it sheds on the debate about global warming in general and also, in particular, on the ongoing controversy about whether organisations like NASA and NOAA are playing fast and loose with the world’s temperature data sets.
All right – so accusing Greenpeace of being dishonest, bullying, hypocritical, scientifically illiterate, menacing and environmentally damaging is about as novel and contentious as suggesting that Michelangelo may have painted the Sistine Chapel. Even so, it’s good to see Andrew
Did you hear about the gangs of white taxi drivers in the market towns of Southern England who over a period of decades have been grooming, drugging and serially raping under-age girls of Pakistani Kashmiri heritage? No of course not.
A US professor has come up with a brilliant and original new theory as to why mankind is doomed by climate change: it’s because, unlike mice, humans are fatally handicapped by their ability to rationalize and reason. No wait. You
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has authorised the release of a secret dossier detailing all the policies that sinister, evil former Education Secretary Michael Gove would have introduced if only they hadn’t been sabotaged by his heroic and principled Lib
Eight reasons why you have to see Kingsman: the Secret Service: 1. The baddie Valentine (Samuel L Jackson, who appears to have based his lisping villain on his arch-enemy Spike Lee) is an ardent greenie who – just like rather
As Valentine’s Day approaches the more considerate among you will naturally already have ordered the gift you know your loved one wants above all else: that must-have cast of your anus, immortalized in solid bronze.
Did you know that Eton, Harrow and Westminster are now among the worst performing schools in Britain, with academic results so dismal they have been beaten in the league tables by some of our most dismal sink comprehensives? Well you
How can we believe in ‘global warming’ when the temperature records providing the ‘evidence’ for that warming cannot be trusted? It’s a big question – and one which many people, even on the sceptical side of the argument, are reluctant
Benedict ‘Sherlock’ Cumberbatch has said he is “a complete fool”, an “idiot”, “thoughtless” and that he is “devastated” for having inadvertently used the term “coloured” to describe black people on a US talk show. It’s depressing enough that he felt
The Prince of Wales has demanded a “Magna Carta for the Earth” in order to save the planet from global warming – thus calling into severe question the abilities of those hapless dons who were charged with teaching him history
“2014 was the hottest year on record”. “Islam is the religion of peace” “UKIP rocked by defection of senior member to Conservatives.” Sometimes you have to look beneath the headlines to get to the truth of a story and the
“2014 was the hottest year on record.” Q: If the above statement is not true – and (see below) it isn’t – would it make it any more true were it to be uttered in an important speech at Davos
Professional lesbian and poverty chic Guardianista cookery writer “Jack” Monroe is unhappy. She tweets: Here’s the Sun ‘head of PR’ sending a collage of topless photos to targeted journalists. Creepy, abusive, harassment. So too, we can safely infer, is former
Many years ago, when I was a young diarist working for the Daily Telegraph’s Peterborough column, my bosses dispatched me to cover the Green Party conference. This wasn’t because I was particularly anti-Green at the time. Rather it was because,
1. “You can’t shout fire in a crowded theatre.” This hackneyed faux-truism is the Expecto Patronum of squishy liberal apologists. That is, when the going gets tough and they’re forced to do that difficult thing – defending free speech –
Will Self, the literary equivalent of a tattered Salvador Dali melting clock poster on the bedroom wall of a pretentious fifth-former, has spoken out in the wake of Charlie Hebdo. The bestselling author, who recently dismissed George Orwell as a
Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg have both accused UKIP leader Nigel Farage of trying to make political capital out of the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Their hypocrisy is as breathtaking as their moral cowardice is nauseating
The story so far: 12 people, including two policemen, have been murdered at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by two hooded men wielding AK47s. In 2011 the magazine was firebombed after running a caricature of the Prophet
Nigel Farage says that nurses working for the NHS should be able to speak English. I agree. What a pity that this is about the most daringly controversial criticism of the NHS we’re likely to hear from almost any politician,
