Canadian activist Naomi Klein has given an interview – yet another one – to promote her latest turgid eco-project. Purely by accident, she and her activist husband Avi Lewis are captured talking a lot of sense. Here’s how. 1. This
I’ve just seen the most annoying women on the planet. And no, amazingly, it’s not Baroness Warsi. Or Emily Thornberry. Nor even Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. It’s Charlotte Proudman, the man-hating feminazi with political ambitions, who really doesn’t deserve any more time in the
Climate change has saved hundreds of thousands of Africans from extreme poverty, starvation and premature death, a study from Arizona State University has confirmed. The study shows that the West African Sahel – part of the semiarid strip just south

Is there nothing green ideologues won’t do to try to breathe pseudo-scientific life into their bankrupt climate change thesis? Not by the looks of this desperate newspaper story, which attempts – as so many have before – to make hay
1. What’s the truth behind the story of the drowned boy Aylan Kurdi? There’s just so much that doesn’t add up. Starting with the fact that the boy’s name is actually Alan Shenu. His father Abdullah claims he and his
President Obama recently visited Alaska in search of the mythical beast they call ManBearPig – as part of his ongoing mission to persuade an increasingly skeptical world that climate change represents the greatest threat of our age. Not even a
It’s a pretty low-down trick, you might have thought, to use a harrowing photograph of a dead child to advance your political agenda and signal the depths of your compassion. But almost everyone has been at it over the last
President Obama has been joking from the White House’s Instagram account about his encounter in the Alaskan wilderness with survivalist Bear Grylls. You’ll never guess what he said. “Glad this was the only Bear I met in the park.” Yes.
The next James Bond definitely has to be black and he definitely has to be played by Idris Elba (The Wire; Luther). Anyone who thinks to diverge even slightly from this now officially accepted view, to be held by everyone everywhere
Wes Craven is dead. (Though where horror movie directors are concerned, of course, you can never be sure. Take especial care when you’re on your own and in the bath, is my advice. Also never split up your group. And never, ever look down in the cellar).

“I thought it was best to write about my own raw terror,” says activist Naomi Klein, in a moving interview in today’s Guardian. Is she talking about the time she flew to Raqqa in Syria to try to audition for
A UN-endorsed carbon offset scheme designed to reduce emissions has actually increased them massively, a study by a green think tank has found. As well as pumping much as 600 million tonnes more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the carbon
The BBC has severed its nine-decade relationship with the Met Office: The last bulletin presented by the Met Office will be broadcast in October 2016, 94 years after the first, in November 1922. Bill Giles, who led the Met Office’s
In a brilliantly suicidal move which might well drive the last nail into the coffin of her dreams of becoming the next U.S. president, Democrat contender Hillary Clinton is angling to position herself to the left of President Obama on
More bad news for climate alarmists: methane released by the thawing permafrost just isn’t looking like the deadly threat it was supposed to be. For years it has been an article of faith among climate doommongers that methane is the
Shadowy Big-Oil-funded forces are on a mission to blacken the name of billionaire eco-evangelist Tom Steyer. Or so his friends have told Bloomberg. “They are going to try to dirty him up,” said Court, a Steyer ally. “He is personally
