National Party MP goes full Trump on Climate Denial
No. Way…
National MP argues climate change ‘is natural’ in Facebook rant taken from US right-wing source
National MP Matt King has shared the belief that climate change “is natural” after posting a rant, taken from a US far-right source, to his Facebook page on Saturday.
The National MP for Northland attributed his rant to “some words taken from NZCPR website”. The article ‘Setting New Zealand Up to Fail’ was uploaded to the New Zealand Centre for Political Research website last Sunday. It includes an adapted script taken from a 2012 video by Free Market America – but swaps out ‘America’ for New Zealand.
…this is climate denial madness from National…
You would’ve thought after the UN conspiracy theory that inspired a white supremacist terrorist, National would shy away from this sort of crank alt-right stuff.
Why rely on overseas crank science when Matt could just invent it himself? Matt doesn’t seem to understand climate science in any way shape or form, and I imagine he gets frightened by eclipses and reading silently without moving his lips.
How does Matt King feel about chemtrails, flat earth and voter fraud?
What he is posting here is real crank science up there with anti fluoridation and anti vaccination stuff. He’s one dinosaur with a saddle away from claiming God made the earth in 6 days.
National have to get much tighter on their MPs social media feeds leading into the election, sure National are a climate denying political party, but you have to pretend to believe the science or else it becomes too obvious to the voting public that you are just paid mouthpieces for big oil and the Dairy industry.
Come on National, pretend better than this.
Physics makes The National Party’s Alt-Lord simultaneously love science then shits himself in one Facebook post (isn’t physics great).
Well done, Matt! All those climate deniers who say you’re the climate denier don’t have a leg to stand on. Just ask them for the evidence that human activity causes dangerous global warming. They won’t have any, because they never have any.
Why would any one supply evidence towards something that begins with “if?”
Climate deniers ae paid by the oil industry to repeat the words “no climate change here” for as long as they are able till hell fezes over it sems while we all see the climate xchanging before our eyes every month that goes by.
Just ask Aiuckland people how they like the unusual ‘rain every day this month’?
Half will be climate deniers and they ‘no problem’.
So what is certain is that only when they are treading water will they actually be ‘awaken to the harsh reality’.
Guess we should call it the “Poseidon effect” after false notions eh?

If you’re going to publish Matt’s picture can you please take that tacky pen out of his breast pocket, close his mouth – there’s something wrong about it- and maybe blank out his tie – but especially get rid of the pen – it looks awful- that’s if it really is a pen. (He should know all these things – where’s he been ?)
Full credit to you Matt for being honest to yourself and the public. Exposure is cool.
