The apostles of biofuels would have us believe that the congested streets of Sao Paulo offer a glimpse of a better future. There, traffic jams are made of flex-fuel cars that run off a growing menu of bio and fossil fuel mixtures and all filling stations offer “alcohol” and “gas” at the pump.

Global warming skeptics rarely get any say on the networks, and when their opinions are mentioned it is often with barbs like “cynics” or [...]

I almost fell off my chair when I read this article in Herald Sun that the RSPCA claims climate change is producing a boom in the number of feral felines prowling streets in Melbourne’s leafy east.I think someone should tell the RSPCA that the globe has NOT warmed for a decade and that Melbourne has [...]
