  1. Bet they will be quick up that way to put their hand out for government money when they have problems created by climate change but she was calling it erosion this morning and she was getting on my goat with her attitude

    1. The good news is that when they get challenged they make a lot of noise on the public stage but a review is afoot.
      Congratulations to the people that asked the council to sign the declaration!! You’ve made a big difference, not only in raising publicity but getting the situation reviewed.

      And for those mayors who have signed, apparently you’re “woke” – but I do suspect that you are virtue signalling (certainly around where I live) because you haven’t actually done anything in the declaration.

  2. Yes Sandra – keep flying your flag until you sink under the waves, then you will scream for help eh?

    My father did the perfect term for you;
    “There’s none so deaf as those who don’t want to hear”

    “A push to get local authorities to sign up to a declaration on climate change is “politically charged and driven”, the Thames-Coromandel mayor says”.

  3. Those who warned long ago have been proven right:


    ‘Broecker brought “global warming” into common use with a 1975 article that correctly predicted rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would lead to pronounced warming. He later became the first person to recognize what he called the Ocean Conveyor Belt, a global network of currents affecting everything from air temperature to rain patterns.
    “Wally was unique, brilliant and combative,” said Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer. “He wasn’t fooled by the cooling of the 1970s. He saw clearly the unprecedented warming now playing out and made his views clear, even when few were willing to listen.”

    “We live in a climate system that can jump abruptly from one state to another,” Broecker told the Associated Press in 1997. By dumping into the atmosphere huge amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, “we are conducting an experiment that could have devastating effects.”

    Both organisations work to delay any climate change action.

    Delay will cost us all more.

        1. Frank;

          What you are looking for is contained in the links provided on the sites above.

          Eg; there are a number of Professors in the Global Research search results.

          I am sorry to have to say the evidence is both overwhelming and conclusive.

          No cheers.

          I have to admit that it took me a good 10 months of reading before I eventually took this information on board.
          Initially, I just could not believe it because the issue is so huge. Sorry.

    1. Yep, EP, a ship of fools alright, and they well need that ship to sail off into the never-never. They could end up having to eat each other too – I gather that we taste like pork – unless dairying (surprise surprise) Goudie has the forethought to organise some other cows to travel along with them.

      They should be able to drink cow pee ok – the sun kills the bacteria – if the sun is shining correctly – and dry the turds for fuel – or they could maybe have turd fritters; veges would be a bit of a no-no, but the Nats never liked greens anyway; any fish left in the warming sea could already be slightly poached. They’ll be fine – as long as they don’t get their just desserts first – desserts traditionally rounding off specific sort of social occasions.

      I don’t know about the children though. I worry about the children.

  5. To my pseudo-objective rationale, all the actions that the right decry as ‘politicising’, such as climate change or calls for gun control in the US after mass shootings, etc, are patent Goebbels 101 propaganda tactics, ie accuse your opponents of what you’re doing yourselves.
    Imploring the better angels of our collective nature to take action to deal with critical issues is not an angle for political point scoring. I’m confident everyong promoting imperative climate change measures would be overjoyed if their political opponents crossed the floor thus rendering the issue bipartisan – nonpartisan even!
    Accusing your opponents of political point scoring instead of offering a coherent counter-argument to their assessment of the crisis is nothing at all besides hypocritical ad-hominem political point scoring.
    Moreover, if the right truly believe the only true threat of the climate change debate is the unwanted political gain of their opponents, wouldn’t the best way to nullify that be to take the same position? If only the 100 companies causing 71% of worldwide emissions that probably provide a similar percentage of their funding would agree.

  6. They believe the climate is changing…just not that its the result of mans activities.

    Which is fine by me really, it should simply serve as a reminder that we are all culpable and in some level of denial each and every day with the decisions we make as citizens and consumers.
