David Cameron has announced that he will shortly be resigning his comfy Oxfordshire safe seat, Witney. Some readers may have trouble remembering who, exactly, this sleek, flush-faced back bench Tory MP is. So let me remind you: he was until really quite

An Australian senator has used his maiden speech to slam the “fraudulent” climate change industry which he blames for “costing jobs, destroying families, bankrupting businesses” and making his country “less competitive.”

No event in the British summer calendar is more shamelessly jingoistic than the Last Night of the Proms.

What are we to make of the fact that all nine #blacklivesmatter protesters who have been charged with aggravated trespass yesterday at London City Airport are white?

Don’t worry about terrorism: baths are much more dangerous. At least I think that’s the subtext of the latest infographic from The Economist – house journal to Davos man, Euro technocrats and the rest of the globalist elite.

A green campaign group has bullied Ireland’s largest schools publisher into revising a geography textbook because one of its chapters contained an unhelpfully “balanced” view on global warming.

How did he get away with it for so long?

If you believe the BBC, the US and Chinese presidents signed a major deal on climate at the G20 summit in China today.

If you’ve got 17 minutes to spare I urge you to watch this video (currently being circulated on Twitter). And if you haven’t got 17 minutes to spare, then make some spare. It will infuriate, enlighten, delight and terrify you all at

Three U.S. professors teaching an online course called Medical Humanities in the Digital Age at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs have told students that the “science” of climate change is not up for debate and have asked anyone who thinks otherwise not to join the course.

Somewhere in an environmental science department at some cruddy university not far from you, a bunch of otherwise unemployable marine biology graduates are working on yet another paper demonstrating that Ocean Acidification is a really serious problem which can only

Of all the climate “science” scams I’ve helped expose, about the worst has got to be Ocean Acidification. The very name is a lie: no our oceans are not turning acid; still less are our corals and marine life under any

Perhaps you’re as irritated as I am by the story of the Border Morris dancers who, as from next year, will be banned from performing in traditional “blackface” at one of Britain’s biggest folk festivals because of pressure from an obscure local campaign group called FRESh. Even FRESh have

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is not being killed off because of “global warming” or any other allegedly man-made non-problem, the people who know the area best have confirmed. According to local newspaper The Courier-Mail [paywalled] Teams of divers in a joint two-week

Imagine if a government agency had been conducting experiments on human guinea pigs using poisons it knew to be fatal at even the most minuscule levels.

Professor Brian Cox undoubtedly has the prettiest lips in the world of celebrity physics. That – together with his cute, knowing little half-smile; his Charlatans-style haircut; and his early incarnation as keyboard player with New Labour’s favourite one-hit-wonder band D:Ream – explains why he has become the BBC’s go-to popular science presenter.

London’s Metropolitan Police is planning to spunk £1.7 million setting up a new “Twitter squad” to combat trolling on social media. On top of this, the Home Office has put nearly £500,000 into setting up an Online Hate Crime Hub. Gosh,

A bunch of feminazis are campaigning to get Philip Davies MP sacked for saying in a speech that “feminist zealots really do want have their cake and eat it.” As stories go this is right up there with: “Pope demands apology

If ever you’ve worried that parts of Britain now resemble some hideously corrupt, Third World Islamic basket case hell hole then you’re going to love Sir Eric Pickles’s gloriously robust report on electoral fraud. His target, it’s clear, isn’t just the

Make the most of this summer because it could be your last decent one: winter is coming as the planet enters the most devastating cooling period since the 65-year Maunder Minimum of the 17th and early 18th centuries. This is the dire forecast of

The BBC has been censured for allowing actress Emma Thompson to spout a load of hysterical, made-up, warmista drivel about climate change on the supposedly respectable and balanced news analysis programme Newsnight.

A Donald Trump presidency would be way more beneficial to the environment than a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Two arresting pictures of public figures on holiday caught my attention in the last few days: one showing former Prime Minister David Cameron’s sleek minke-pod-ready body squeezed into a pair of £225 Orlebar Brown swim shorts; the other showing the

Am I too late to suggest a symbol for tonight’s Rio Olympics opening ceremony? I do hope not because it’s an absolute cracker which I’m sure will grab attention across the world and capture the mood and spirit of the host city quite perfectly.

All hail Clint Eastwood for saying the unsayable: that Generation Snowflake are a bunch of politically correct pussies; that Donald Trump is preferable to Hillary.
