    Far from tax reduction our frigging tax is about to go up massively.

    Never in the history of New Zealand politics has so much taxpayers’ money been hurled into the chasm with such contempt for the poor citizens who will pay billions out of their own dwindling pockets forever while rich polluters wreck the earth with impunity and bask in the profits.
    Never in the history of NZ has the importance of our, and the world’s, environment, been casually dismissed with such astonishing alacrity, corporate selfishness and pure f*cking bullsh*t.
    Never has the critical advice of the very experts who should guide such economically crucial environmental matters – Treasury and the Commissioner for the Environent – been suppressed so desperately due to political inconvenience.
    Never has the world consensus about the crisis of climate change had its face spat in so ferociously by New Zealand.
    Never before has New Zealand laid waste to its rich environmental, tourist and economic reputation with such casual and uninformed recklessness.
    Never – EVER - has a minority party betrayed its base like the Maori party has betrayed its voters.
    And, of course, never have so many blatant and provable lies been told by one government in pursuit of such a despicably transparent plot that that was supported by so few and understood by even fewer.

    Isn't this thread about "He said, she said"? (Well "He said, he said" mostly.) Tittle tattle.

    Richard Treadgold has plotted, and the NZ Climate Science has published, a report with a line purporting to represent a continuous series of Wellington temperatures and forgotten to mention that the station moved 120-odd metres up the hill from Thorndon to Wellington in the late 1920s. This introduced a cooling jump of about 0.7 degrees, which is about what you'd expect from the elevation change. See the graphs in the Hot Topic post I linked to or the graph at the top of p 6 in the CSC report PDF. This jump (and some smaller ones between 1910 and 1920) stick out like a dog's balls in the khaki-green coloured difference line.

    Incompetence or fraud?

    Saying climate change isn't happening or is not man-made is the same as the ostriches who said that the HIV virus doesn't cause AIDS, or that the world is flat.

    I am sick of all these nutters hellbent on promoting the illusion that there is still a "debate" about climate change. Because the deniers know that as long as the public thinks that the scientists aren't sure about it, the public won't be concerned about it and nobody will be arsed doing anything.

    Climate Change is an incontrovertible fact.

    Always has been. There've been much bigger swings in climate over short periods of time in the past and their will be in the future.

    The only certainty about the current perceived climate change is that people still suffer from the hubris that people matter. Organisms have changed the climate before and they'll do it again. Once a cycle of change is started your best bet is to adapt, whihc may well involve changing how we live.

    But. No one alive today will give up clothing made with artificial fibres, convenient transport (public transport isn't green), or figure out a way of significantly reducing the distance food travels from production to plate, or change the packaging it comes in. Until people actively start living within the space they can walk in a day things won't change.

    The other thing that irks me particularly is the attempt to present climate change as a black and white cause and effect scenario. Mt Pinatubo did massive climate damage and interupted the La Nina, El Nino pattern which had a flow on effect of accelerating imbalances in phyto and zooplankton causing algal blooms and damaging the sustainability of over-fished fishing grounds. Not that any country or corporate body manages fish stocks in the first instance.

    No one gives a crap though, because that was obviously not a Volcanao that caused the problem because it didn't squirt enough CO2 into the atmosphere to cause the problem in the first instance. Because only CO2 is bad, right? You get huge changes in albedo if you squirt, for instance aerosol Sulphiric acid into the sky. Something Mt Pinatubo eruptions are very good at.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Doubtless the CSC will correct its error now it's been pointed out.

    I've got an idea, why don't all the people who take these clowns seriously hold their breath until they do?

    Priceless, mate.

    And if anything comes up that challenges your armour of denial, you can always say "only 1.9% of CO2 is emitted by man" like a medieval peasant holding up a cross to ward off a vampire. That should keep you safe.
