    Ever since he became the Leader of the National Party, Luxon has tried
    to never disagree with anyone except the government (he neer agrees
    with anything the government does). that increased support for
    National as numerous nutters saw a sympathetic ear in Luxon. In
    reality he needed the nutters - too many National supporters decided
    that ACT was a better bet, and had headed that way - so he was careful
    not to alienate a lot of extremist nutters - but even while he was
    doing that he knew that climate change could only be minimised for a
    certain time - eventually he would need to be honest about the need
    for change. All Maureen saw was that National agreed with many of the
    nutters, and did not recognise that the flooding has changed a lot of
    views about the need for us to do something to try to minimise any
    further such events - so she gaily aligned herslef with the Climate
    Change deniers. The National boffins were appalled - that was a step
    too far; Luxon had to act before he was really ready; and she was
    mildly slapped down.

    But now we can see more clearly the dishonesty of the National
    position - they were milking those they disagreed with for votes, and
    would ignore them when in government. Luxon has been forced to admit
    that climate change is real, and that we have to meet emissions
    targets. That is a significant policy switch for National - there may
    even be a poster to nz.general who decides that like other who
    previously supported National, that David Seymour and ACT are now a
    better fit . . .

    ACT/National have always been a better fit than Labour and it's communist colleagues in the Maori party and the Greens Rich. Especially for all those that cherish freedom. Despite all your support for Labour/Green/Marxism Rich nothing you have posted has
    explained Labours totalitarian attitude despite you claiming National is that. We all know you are very good at seeing your failings and Labours in everyone else and lying to support your unscientific and highly politicised views :)

    That's one side of it Tony. The other side of it is that if a post
    like this - so incorrect on detail and so full of Labour-diehard-wishful-thinking - is the best that Rich can do he is
    sinking to new lows in the crap he posts.

    Pugh made comments not about Climate Change but her belief that no
    clear evidence exists that it is caused by humans. Everyone misses
    this detail.

    Christopher Luxon did not miss that detail - he objected to it and
    made it clear that there is clear evidence that it is caused by humans
    - later Maureen Pugh retracted her earlier statements. Can't have
    anyone having different thoughts than the Leader in the National Party
    - did you not know that, Crash?

    It does emphasise that there has been a change of policy - Maureen
    Pugh got the message very quickly and adopted the "new think" laid

    who have not believed that humans have or are influencing climate

    Maureen Pugh is pushing those former ACT clowns Jamie Whyte and "Dr. Miriam" for the honour of New Zealand's stupidest ever member of parliament.

    I doubt she will be as high on the list next time - being a modern
    National MP requires flexibility about a lot of things - but
    particularly the ability to ensure that changes in policy from the
    leader are instantly followed. Some National MPs don't appear to fit
    any more- look for a few electorates needing a new selection process
    for the National candidate as we go through winter . . .

    Why should they? For they are watching the great hoax in human history.

    On another level they are looking at all the related information and
    checking it out how it all fits in. In much the same way as the alternative viewer have to the covid vaccine.

    It says alot about the situation if a person can change their mind witin a
    day on a subject so important as climate change.

    I don't know of any poster here who has said that humans do not influence climate change - perhaps you could post a cite.

    The point is What is causing climate change? The main stream theory is that
    it is CO2 amounts of, in the atmosphere. If this is the case why has the
    earth warmed when the atmosphere CO2 levels were low?

    The earth's climate changed several times in the times that humans have been
    on the earth until 1850. All low CO2.

    I strongly believe that humans are not the major cause of climate change and others here have said the same. That view is well supported by competent scientists.

    To me it is case of the influence of human activity is just on of the
    factors in the mix.

    That's one side of it Tony. The other side of it is that if a post
    like this - so incorrect on detail and so full of >>Labour-diehard-wishful-thinking - is the best that Rich can do he is >>sinking to new lows in the crap he posts.

    Pugh made comments not about Climate Change but her belief that no
    clear evidence exists that it is caused by humans. Everyone misses
    this detail.

    Christopher Luxon did not miss that detail - he objected to it and
    made it clear that there is clear evidence that it is caused by humans
    - later Maureen Pugh retracted her earlier statements. Can't have
    anyone having different thoughts than the Leader in the National Party
    - did you not know that, Crash?

    On your side Rich. The ex PM had a narrative which we all needed to follow other wise they were the River of filth.

    Currently there is an international investigation into what effect the Tonga volcano has had on our weather/climate As we've been trying to get into Richie's dense skull it's far more than idiots like him with his EV that are changing the climate. Hell
    if you watch David Attenborough's latest series you find that at the time the asteroid hit there were no polar ice caps. Hell 600 years ago it was hotter than now yet contrary to the wails from Rich that we're all DOOMED! Humanity survived! Time do away
    with Rich and the other fanatics doom saying and start a sensible discussion about it Something we'll never get from Rich, Shaw and the other left wing nutters pushing the scam!

    Maureen Pugh is pushing those former ACT clowns Jamie Whyte and "Dr. Miriam" for the honour of New Zealand's stupidest ever member of parliament.
    I doubt she will be as high on the list next time - being a modern
    National MP requires flexibility about a lot of things - but
    particularly the ability to ensure that changes in policy from the
    leader are instantly followed. Some National MPs don't appear to fit
    any more- look for a few electorates needing a new selection process
    for the National candidate as we go through winter . . .
    What utter fucking rubbish. But guess it's what we expect from the fucking imbecile Rich80105!
    as to climate change or should I say your religion of climate change. It's far from settled! Good on Pugh for questioning how much humans are responsible! Religious neuters like you Rich might be happy to go on a guilt trip for your ginormous carbon
    footprint but many in this ng refuse to be as stupid as you and get on with our lives! Time you had a closer look at the ever changing goal posts of climate change. you know the goal posts the UN's tame propaganda scientists change annually! Time for
    some conversation about the new religion!

    I don't know of any poster here who has said that humans do not influence
    climate change - perhaps you could post a cite.

    The point is What is causing climate change? The main stream theory is that >it is CO2 amounts of, in the atmosphere. If this is the case why has the >earth warmed when the atmosphere CO2 levels were low?

    The earth's climate changed several times in the times that humans have been >on the earth until 1850. All low CO2.

    I strongly believe that humans are not the major cause of climate change and >> others here have said the same. That view is well supported by competent
    scientists.

    To me it is case of the influence of human activity is just on of the
    factors in the mix.
    I agree, as I posted I do not believe Rich's accusation about posters here is correct - he will not be able to provide a cite - so he lied.


    Very different to your unsupported accusation.

    Regrettably Rich has been sucked in by the UN religion of climate change Tony.
    He's as religiously fanatical as he is a political fanatic...
    Nah John - he is quite simply a political hack and cannot think for himself. Labour says jump and he asks how high. He is pathetic.
    Pathetic is an accolade in Rich's case Tony. They haven't created a word to describe how bad Rich is, though Marxist comes close...

    Also Rich posted too early - the logic behind his post is now gone: >>>>>>

    It does emphasise that there has been a change of policy - Maureen

    Perhaps it is a lot, but in what way you mean that is not clear - >>>certainly Maureen Pugh says that she has changed her mind, and in only
    a few hours rather than a full day. What do you think it says, Gordon?
    He has already told you what he thinks - do catch up.

    Tony is wrong as usual.
    What a silly twerp you are - when will you debate without being offensive? Eh?
