Ardern admitted at Joe Biden's ironically named "Democracy Summit" (Dec 2021) that she was funding media to produce stories that supported her govt's policies.

As the West fitfully weakens industrial civilisation by trying to eliminate oil, coal and natural gas as energy sources, the scientific basis for Net Zero is based more on ‘general agreement’ than hard data. Climate scientists nevertheless sound optimistic about the progress that’s being made in destroying society’s carbon energy base.  

There are of course criticisms of the idea of a carbon-dioxide-induced apocalypse, largely supported as it is by general circulation (i.e., whole-earth) planetary models. There are too many different GCMs all with too many free parameters (aka ‘fudge factors’), as well as wildly divergent readings of historical climate records: Are violent climate events really more frequent, and how does weather actually relate to climate? The popular press cries havoc, but the data are not so clear. The looming economic costs of a Net Zero target are leading to some political pushback. Nevertheless, the recent jury acquittal of nine Extinction Rebellion vandals shows that passionate belief in the imminent dangers of CO₂ is not limited to activists.

Climate science is complicated, but the key question is simple. The climate does seem to be getting warmer, but are we responsible? Does the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide have a major effect on the temperature of the earth? The standard answer is “yes, of course”. But in fact there are good reasons for doubt. 

Popular accounts of the ‘climate emergency’ rarely show quantitative data. Yet there are widely available graphs that anyone can understand. Here are three graphs which suggest that the answer to the question is probably “no”. It is likely that beyond a certain point, carbon dioxide has a relatively minor effect on planetary temperature.

One claim made by Globalists is that ice is melting in Antarctica alarmingly — but the opposite is true. Satellite measurements are clear, Antarctic ice plates have gotten bigger. There’s an increase in ice by 5,305 km2, or 661 gigatonnes of it.

This has ryegrass between the stepping stones (available at Mitre 10 Mega and elsewhere), but something like scleranthus biflorus would be flatter and not stick up so much.

Several days ago, an Algerian man stabbed five people, including three children, outside a school in Dublin, Ireland. 

This is prompting lots of questions about Ireland’s immigration rules. Are that country’s leaders prioritizing their citizens’ needs when crafting these policies?

Much of the West’s stance on migration suggests they’re not. And that’s of great concern.

Steve Bannon knows plenty about this phenomenon, and he joined Tucker on X Ep. 41 to discuss. 

and Paul Joseph Watson on the same subject —

Many millions of people now realize that ‘The Science’ is nothing but the government’s officially approved narrative.

From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:

One good side effect of the “pandemic” is that skepticism is spreading. And it just may prove fatal . . . to authority.

“Most people have not gotten the latest vaccine and half say they are not taking precautions this holiday season,” wails the headline accompanying something called the KFF covid-19 Vaccine Monitor (see here).

“As the public heads into the fourth holiday season with the virus, about half of adults say they do not plan to get the latest vaccine which became publicly available nearly two months ago. This includes three in ten of those who were previously vaccinated.”

Italics added.

Even the “vaccinated” are becoming . . . hesitant.

And at least half the population are more than that. They no longer trust “the science,” which (per The Princess Bride) does not mean what many used to think it meant; i.e., objective, tested and affirmed conclusions based upon facts.

At least half the population has come to understand that “the science” has a political meaning – one similar to “democracy” in the argot of those who use these terms to wheedle people into believing they mean what people used to think they meant.

All of that – or at least, a lot of that – is out the window now and probably for good. And this is very good.

Will Biden & Blinken be held accountable? Unlikely.

An inconvenient truth for Leftists/Globalists.

(KCDC Media release)

A $22 million upgrade to the Waikanae Water Treatment Plant has now been approved.

Kāpiti Coast District Council chief executive Darren Edwards has signed the contract for the two-and-a-half-year project, which follows enabling works which were completed last year and included relocating a stormwater line and other utilities to make way for the new equipment.

The main works include building a rapid mix tank (to mix coagulants and flocculants which bind fine particles in the water), a new clarifier (a large tank where the bound particles clump together) and storage tanks for the coagulant and flocculant additives.

Pumps and dosing equipment which are getting towards the end of their useful life will also be renewed.

Safety improvements include constructing a new building to house chlorine tanks and dosing systems.

Edwards said the project will improve the resilience of our district’s main water supply with new equipment bringing key parts of the 50-year-old plant up to current seismic standards.

“One of the first tasks of the project involves building a new access lane onto Reikorangi Rd.

“The new accessway will improve safety for large delivery vehicles by providing a wider entrance with better sight lines.”

He said the project is stage two of a planned three-staged upgrade of the Waikanae Water Treatment Plant. The award-winning first stage of the project, construction of the river recharge groundwater scheme, was completed in 2015.

“Stage three is currently planned for approximately 2028 and is likely to include replacing the UV units, upgrading the sludge and wastewater [waste from the clarifier and filter backwash water] handling systems, refurbishing existing sand filters and building two additional sand filters.”

Funding for the stage two works includes a $5.2 million grant from the Government’s Three Waters Reform Programme.

Council is committed to providing safe, clean, reliable and resilient drinking water supplies to homes and businesses.

The Waikanae Water Treatment Plant is some of the district’s most important infrastructure. It provides drinking water to 41,000 people in homes and businesses across Waikanae, Paraparaumu and Raumati.
