| 1144614 | 2010-10-14 21:52:00 | I know....but we are probably the most resilient species out there . Hah, resilient...........whatever gave you that idea? We're the feeblest, weakest and most temperature sensitive thing on the planet. Take our tools away and we're catmeat.The rpoblem with the tools is we are now so specialised that most of us couldn't cope for 5 minutes if left in the wilderness for a day or two. Show me another animal wearing clothes to keep warm in the snow. Or using air con in summer. Any drastic changes will kill us off in no time. |

Maybe thats not a bad idea, survival of the fittest, smartest, and ruthless. |

| 1144618 | 2010-10-14 22:59:00 | The thing is if you're a PM, and you've been taken for a ride by the likes of ETS / GW, then you're in a real pickle: 1) Do you save face and admit you were wrong, and save your constituents money? Or: 2) Do you blindly and ignorantly carry on, so you look as though you're a strong leader who knows what they're doing? |

He’s pretty much snookered because reversing the ETS would take some doing given the millions of dollars now tied up in the trading scheme. What do you say to a company that has purchased millions of dollars worth of credits at the Governments insistence and they then become valueless? :eek: However, given that Key made his millions clipping the ticket in commodity and currency trading, he may just not want to pull the pin. ;) |
