833403 2009-11-26 00:33:00 The whole issue needs more debate before we rush off to Copenhagen to present the new legislation to the world.

Legislation that only went through due to the Maori Party backing it and the MMP voting system. Talking of MMP we are told we will get a binding referendum on that issue spread over two elections from the current Government. What will happen to that in the event National does not get in next election?

Anyone noticed that the sky is falling? Apologies to Chicken Little:-

It boils down to what and who you believe. In any case don't be apathetic or indifferent and stand up for what you think.

I'd love to see where you got your figures from. Developed countries may have very little or no or even negative population growth, but developing countries are our biggest worry - they account for over 95% of the world's population growth.

But you don't care as you could be indifferent or possibly even apathetic.

If you are indifferent then why even take the time to post?

I would suggest you either do the poo or get off your potty.

Where are your figures to prove the over 95% theory you state?

Take this one and note that there was a drop off in the rate. It may
be due to a person killing off some of the population and therefore a mass migration.

And maybe not.

Not that I expect you to read the link as you really are indifferent as your signature would imply.

For myself I try to sort the wheat from the chaff. I may not succseed but I give it my best shot.

833406 2009-11-26 04:20:00 Ok all you lot that wanted our dear HELEN out - here's your payoff - the Tories revert to type and you pay and pay and pay - note that the big business mates of the Tories don't pay for THEIR pollution.

Mpst of you seemed to want Helen out and Key in - well put your hands in your pockets and don't complain.

Cheers (if you can afford it)

I think you'll find that we'd all be paying alot more under Labour.

Unless of course you're on benefits.

Your opinion I think.
You start with "I think" but have you actually done the research?

For the record I did not vote for either Labour or National but I did vote unlike some who were so apathetic and didn't for whatever reason.

So as I did not vote for the current Government I guess I should not have to pay.

833410 2009-11-26 05:52:00 Yes it's absolutely ridiculous to propose that, whereas once there were only a few million of us on the Earth and now there is more than 6 billion using coal, burning oil, destroying the forests by burning and cutting them down, constructing millions of internal combustion engines and running them on fossil fuels, trawling many fish out of the oceans to virtual extinction, this usage of the planets resources could in any way cause the climate to change.

How can supposedly intelligent people be so stupid as to think that humans could in any way be responsible for climate change?

I assume this wee message is as dripping with sarcasm as it seems to be....

If this is the case, please explain what caused all the large increases and decreases of temperature in the distant past (before humans became as ubiquitous as they presently are).

The only thing that I can see that was there then and is still there now is the Sun, with all its sunspot activities that heat our upper atmosphere and give us... surprise! ... weather!!

Sometimes hot, sometimes very hot, sometimes cold, sometimes very cold, sometimes windy, sometimes very windy, sometimes wet, sometimes very wet, sometimes dry, sometimes very dry, but always changing and always unpredictable (sorry Ken Ring).


I am with you there zqwert.

I imagine you are not only on a different side of the fence to zqwerty on this one , Cicero, you probably aren't even on the same farm... :D

Get off my back, Sweep. Different topics equal different responses from me.

Source? Research papers I found at Auckland University. I'd give you the links, if I can find them now. Though I believe you're just demanding these because of your immature back-hogging.

I questioned your 95% and you resort to the response above.

This shows that you may have plucked a figure out of thin air and then present the same as fact.

This means that I don't have to believe what you post in any event unless you want to back it up with fact.
