What is most likely regarding climate denial?

  1. The New Zealand Herald asks:

    “Which is more important, the environment or the economy?”

    John Key says that if National win the election they will have a mandate to change the Resource Management Act so that protection of the economy be given equal weight to protecting the environment.

    The Prime Minister made a little-noticed announcement last week that could have much louder repercussions in this year’s election campaign. He said he did not have the numbers in Parliament to proceed with an important change to the Resource Management Act and would take the issue to the country.

    Will the opposition parties, Labour and the Greens let John Key get away with this, by maintaining their silence on the terrible danger that climate change poses to all of us?

    The signs are not good.

    You know what really strikes me about climate change in the election? It’s the absence. It is as if climate change is nearly completely absent from the campaign. When climate change does pop up, it’s portrayed in simplistic soundbites….

    ….The Greens say anthropogenic climate change is real and we have a detailed wonk-friendly exposition on our website, but for this election we are running with “jobs, kids, rivers”

    The Green Party make it very clear there that will be no difference this time…

    Priorities 2011-2014
    Our three priorities will help deliver a richer New Zealand.

    Green Party, “Jobs, kids, rivers”

    Labour of course, is even worse.

    As is well known, the Labour Party in government banned climate change from being raised as an objection under the Resource Management Act. And according to David Parker National is just carrying on the work that Labour started.

    Labour’s finance spokesman, David Parker, says his party’s policies on oil, gas and mineral extraction are close to those of the Government.

    “I don’t think we are much different from National,” Parker said. “They’ve continued on with the programme that we started in respect to oil and gas,”
