• A brave man!

    From John Bowes@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 11 12:03:31 2023
    Hat's off to the Kaipara mayor! He denies climate change made Gabrielle worse. Even NIWA aren't claiming this. They're investigating along with scientists around the world what effect the Tongs volcano had on our weather!

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/131424144/mayor-doubts-climate-change-intensified-cyclone-gabrielle-asks-for-proof

    It'd be nice and a miracle if a certain climate change myth pusher in this ng and Jimmy Shaw actually provided some proof to back up their claims!!!

    Oh and before a lying little twerp starts claiming I'm a climate change denier, he needs to provide some proof else his claim will just be yet another lie in a long history of his lying :)

    What por journalism. It says Kaipara mayor Craig Jepson said he would
    like to see the science that shows the cyclone was made worse by
    climate change. It gives a link from "like to see the science" that
    goes to a stroy about Mureen Pugh getting rebuked by Luxon for making
    a similar statement. quite a few of the other links from that story do
    not support the statements in the article (I have not checked them
    all). That does not mean he did not make the stupid statement
    attributed to him - he has a history of stupidity, and he has
    questioned the scientific consensus on climate change according to
    Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Jepson and a demial
    that climate change made Gabrielle worse would be a similarly stupid
    statement - I do not believe that it is yet possible to prove that a
    particular weather even was caused by climate change, or indeed what
    it was not.

    John Bowes has said that NIWA are not claiming that climate change
    made Gabrielle worse - I suspect that John Bowes has not been able to
    find any reference to that statement though - and they are just as
    likely to have not claimed that Climate change did not affect
    Gabrielle.

    It'd be nice and a miracle if a certain climate change myth pusher in this ng and Jimmy Shaw actually provided some proof to back up their claims!!!
    Well now you have the opportunity to justify your claims, John Bowes -
    you have claimed what appears to be poor reporting and a myth . . .

    The usual garbage from Rich! You couldn't resist a dig at Pugh could you. typical of your stupidity Rich!

    John Bowes has said that NIWA are not claiming that climate change

    I posted a link several weeks ago PLUS! it's obvious you didn't bother to read the link because it is mentioned in that! so stop lying and actually produce some evidence to back up your claim climate change is man made Rich. Or admit at best man only
    ever has contributed to it!

    It'd be nice and a miracle if a certain climate change myth pusher in this ng and Jimmy Shaw actually provided some proof to back up their claims!!!

    Not so Rich! your word is as useless as you! It's time YOU actually posted some evidence to support your useless claims and prove me wrong. That is if your capable and I'm bloody sure you're NOT!!

    Oh and before a lying little twerp starts claiming I'm a climate change denier, he needs to provide some proof else his claim will just be yet another lie in a long history of his lying :)

    It is not stupid to question the main narrative. Doing so makes you look >rather silly.

    That the links did not support the statement does give doubt as to the
    veracity of any of the statements, but saying that he would
    like to see the science that shows the cyclone was made worse by
    climate change is asking for something that does not exist - but
    equally there is no proof that cyclone Gabrielle was not affected by
    climate change, or that climate change is not affected by mankind.

    It was a question that does not currently have an answer; in itself
    it does not indicate that he denies the influenc eof man on climate
    change - it is merely irrelevant.

    Does that make it clearer?

    according to
    Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Jepson and a demial
    that climate change made Gabrielle worse would be a similarly stupid
    statement - I do not believe that it is yet possible to prove that a
    particular weather even was caused by climate change, or indeed what
    it was not.

    John Bowes has said that NIWA are not claiming that climate change
    made Gabrielle worse - I suspect that John Bowes has not been able to
    find any reference to that statement though - and they are just as
    likely to have not claimed that Climate change did not affect
    Gabrielle.

    " Jepson said he would also like to know how much the cyclone was >>>intensified by last year’s Tongan eruption."

    "Crown research institute Niwa has said there was no established

    I suggest you read the paragraph I answered in your last post in this thread and see if you can make sense of it. It was a confused rant that seemed to indicate exactly what I wrote.
    What is clear is that human activity
    has become a contributor to climate change in general, but it is not

    effect in any particular weather event. It is also clear that,

    You are confusing climate and weather, they are very different things, but that is exactly what the man-made climate change believers do - misuse English.
    it is worth our country
    seeking to achive the reductions in emmissions and other targets
    agreed in international agreements - better to spend the money in New
    Zealand fixing our contributions than to see that money be paid as teh

    Not in any way sensible. The wellbeing of New Zealanders is more important than an idiotic agreement that no longer makes sense.

    Oh and before a lying little twerp starts claiming I'm a climate change denier, he needs to provide some proof else his claim will just be yet another lie in a long history of his lying :)

    It is not stupid to question the main narrative. Doing so makes you look >>>>rather silly.

    That the links did not support the statement does give doubt as to the >>>veracity of any of the statements, but saying that he would

    So presumably you will never again post any suggestion that climate change is
    mainly caused by mankind since you seem to agree that there is no proof of >>that
    common lie.
    Since I have never posted such an assertion that is a particularly
    silly presumption on your part. What is clear is that human activity
    has become a contributor to climate change in general, but it is not >possible to determine whether human actions have has a siginificant
    effect in any particular weather event. It is also clear that,
    regardless of your view on causes of global warming and increasing >significant damage from weather events, it is worth our country

    It was a question that does not currently have an answer; in itself
    it does not indicate that he denies the influenc eof man on climate >>>change - it is merely irrelevant.

    Does that make it clearer?
    Apparently not - get help, Tony.
    I don't need it - but you clearly do. You are confused by management versus governance and now clearly about climate versus weather - science degree? Yeah
    right.





    according to
    Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Jepson and a demial >>>>> that climate change made Gabrielle worse would be a similarly stupid >>>>> statement - I do not believe that it is yet possible to prove that a >>>>> particular weather even was caused by climate change, or indeed what >>>>> it was not.

    John Bowes has said that NIWA are not claiming that climate change >>>>> made Gabrielle worse - I suspect that John Bowes has not been able to >>>>> find any reference to that statement though - and they are just as >>>>> likely to have not claimed that Climate change did not affect

    " Jepson said he would also like to know how much the cyclone was >>>>intensified by last year’s Tongan eruption."

    "Crown research institute Niwa has said there was no established >>>>link between the events, but it is believed the eruption increased >>>>the Earth’s temperature."

    The cite is in the orginal posting.


    It'd be nice and a miracle if a certain climate change myth pusher in >>>>>>this
    ng and Jimmy Shaw actually provided some proof to back up their claims!!!
    Well now you have the opportunity to justify your claims, John Bowes - >>>>> you have claimed what appears to be poor reporting and a myth . . . >>>>
    Your response Rich, so do that.
    As I've claimed before Tony. Rich has a degree in the science of stupid. His every post in this ng proves it...
