    You'll have a certain nobody screaming "fake news" if he bothers or is capable of reading this Tony. It's interesting that a few years ago he was claiming 1000 scientist agree with the IPCC claims. Looks like the numbers are changing. A good read. Thank
    you for sharing.

    True. Provenance matters. But the same applies to globalresearch.ca

    That's your authoritative source? Really??? The first part of that
    Wiki page tells us:

    the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) [...] runs the website globalresearch.ca, founded in 2001, which publishes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.[3][4][5] Chossudovsky has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11.[6][7][10][11]

    In 2017, the Centre for Research on Globalization was accused by information warfare specialists at NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (STRATCOM) of playing a key role in the spread of pro-Russian propaganda.[12] A report by the U.S.
    State Department in August 2020 accused the website of being a proxy for a Russian disinformation campaign.[13]

    If you are sure this blatently defamatory info is a lie (perhaps having
    been planted by some globalist conspirators) then it seems you have a
    duty to try to correct the relevant Wikipedia entries, to save gullible truth-seekers from being misled (which sadly is all too common). What's
    to lose? You’re a big boy and can presumably cope with the likely rejections.

    Fair enough, there are plenty of opinions. However there are more and more scientists questioning the "climate change is man made" idea.

    As that article points out, the globalresearch.ca website does not

    However there are more and more
    scientists questioning the "climate change is man made" idea.

    I have not seen evidence of that. Certainly more people are concluding
    that we must make changes to avoid the worst of climate change;
    Christopher Luxon for example appears to now agree with that view, but
    I am not claiming that he is a scientists. My perception is tht more
    and more scientists are agreeing with the need to minimise mankinds contribution to climate change - do you have any evidence rather than
    just an opinion, Tony?

    Rich will ignore this because he's an imbecile. However there are links to papers that deny his claims about climate change.

    There certainly are similarities between the globalresearch.ca site

    both are controversial, neother makes any attempt to provide balanced
    views or respect the views other than their own. The bfd is less well

    and https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/comments/ed2gvy/after_todays_drama_its_probably_worth_again/

    Cam Slater, whose name is still seen on the website, featured as one
    of the main characters of "Dirty Tricks" by which, particularly during
    the time of John Key as PM, there were regular links between senior
    National politicians and others through to various vehicles for
    attacks on opponents, with Slater in particular being prepared to post
    the most scurrilous material.

    The link posted by Tony gives an assessment (without evidence) that
    the human impact on climate is around 25%, which when you consider the
    degree to which we have been shown that climate extremes can be
    extremely destructive and expensive, gives at least some impetus to
    use that assertion to make changes to minimise the impact of humans -
    we do not really want storms that are significantly more destructive
    than Gabrielle! John Bowes probably did not pick up that concession -
    it does indicate that it is likely that National now believes that
    they have to move towards those of scientists and the government and
    accept that we must make changes. - that movement towards accepting
    science may well be an indication that National are hopeful that they
    have a better chance of getting elected to goverment if they change
    their tune; not surprisingly, Tony and John Bowes are not able to read

    This is how it starts. A group has a different view point from Rich and then this is considered to be extremist views. Most people would say they are
    from the left or right in their views. But no they are EXTRENIST views.

    Extreme, of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary or average:

    With regards the second part of the above paragragh, it goes without saying. Does the Labour party every give credit, or acknowledge National's policies etc.

    No, once again if you want some hard cites Rich, then you need to something more
    than your perception.

    What is happening is that the alternative view point people are now
    switching into battle mode. Up until now they were hoping that it would blow over without doing any damage.

    Your desperation is obvious from you using two cites from THREE years ago! Yes Cam had some difficulties back then but he's recovered which is why the BFD is far more popular than thestranded or norightturn!

    It's up to you to provide evidence denying that claim Rich. But we all know you deny it because your an unmitigated bloody imbecile who'll support any nonsense from the left and the Green party in particular. now go away and try and support Shaw and your
    belief that climate change or to give it the name you idiots were using till it was discredited, global warming, if you can. It'll be interesting as neither you or Shaw have ever provided such proof in the past!

    It's only stupid fucking quasi scientists like you Rich who believe any science is ever settled! Hell the Webb telescope has just discovered some evidence from the early universe that puts some so called consesus science in doubt:)

    Nothing nasty at all - the Cyclone did not affect a lot of New
    Zealanders personally, but I believe it did reduce support for views
    that denied climate change being influenced by humans. It probably
    assisted National to return to their previous policies of
    acknoeledging the need for New Zealand to meet obligations under the international Treaty they originally signed New Zealand up to . . .

    Indeed it is true in the other direction, although it is less common
    for Labour to repudiate previous policies, as National did regarding
    climate change in the earlier part of Christopher Luxon as Leader of
    the Party - I suspect it was to gain polling support from climate
    change deniers; they appear to have recognised that such a stance is
    not sustainable now.

    Nothing nasty at all - the Cyclone did not affect a lot of New
    Zealanders personally, but I believe it did reduce support for views
    that denied climate change being influenced by humans. It probably
    assisted National to return to their previous policies of
    acknoeledging the need for New Zealand to meet obligations under the international Treaty they originally signed New Zealand up to . . .
    You believe? The only things you believe is the bullshit that the left pushes and it doesn't matter whether or not it's backed up with good science. You love carrying on about "fake news" but are quite happy to push "fake science" and refuse to back it
    up with facts because you know it's "fake science". You a scientist? Nah you're just a stupid left wing comedienne...

    Fair enough, there are plenty of opinions.
    As that article points out, the globalresearch.ca website does not
    give reliable or worthwhile opinions.

    However there are more and more
    scientists questioning the "climate change is man made" idea.

    I have not seen evidence of that. Certainly more people are concluding >>>>> that we must make changes to avoid the worst of climate change;

    No, it was reality - the VFF people and climate change deniers thought >>Luxon was on their side . . .
    That is impossible. There is no such thing as a climate change denier. >Therefore what you wrote are political lies aka rhetoric.

    You used the term, although you did confuse it with climate denier -
    as far as I am aware you are the only person to use that term.

    Rich will ignore this because he's an imbecile. However there are links

    This is how it starts. A group has a different view point from Rich and
    then
    this is considered to be extremist views. Most people would say they are
    from the left or right in their views. But no they are EXTRENIST views.

    Stop waffling and produce some evidence to back up your claim Rich. Either that or do nothing and confirm you're just a lying left fruit loop!
