Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
None of which would matter a damn if you weren’t wasting time and energy on a pointless attack on an ideology. History should teach you that attacking ideologies is hopeless. What works is is making the ideology irrelevant.
For New Zealand it’s as simple as deciding that “no thanks we don’t want to fuck up our environment” and voting accordingly. No impossible ideological revolution required.
This approach is very appealing but I wonder how quickly you think we will get to this point?
To get global carbon emissions down as quickly as we need to will be painful for those that lead our current lifestyle. So much easier to reject the required sacrifices when the populace are told that they are not necessary or that someone else should make them. -
Oh! Carol - NO!
Now he'll post more links as dodgy as a Kosher pork sausage... -
This is a bit like watching a hungry angler fish flicking its worm-like lure in the murky depths...
Hey Ross - you're not gonna fall for that old trick are ya? -

…given that the world’s surface temperature has remain static for some 18 years to-date…
It hasn’t
Come on chap! - you should have seen that response a mile off...
There is merit in trying to challenge falsehoods - the chance to educate a casual observer maybe.
The initial post however, contains huge red flags that you are embarking on a fruitless endeavour and giving our friend the opportunity to post large amounts of cherry picked poppycock.
Best to leave them alone to knit their navel fluff? -
Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Steve Rowe,
Still have to pinch myself that we are arguing over whether Climate Change is a “thing”.
Then don't argue. It's settled.
Move on to the next phase. Now the denial movement has moved ahead of you and are seeking to minimise the possible effects of the CO2 levels. The 'lukewarmers' are in the ascendant and have pushed aside the people that simply said 'there's no such thing as climate change'.
Sure, there are a few (like romperstomper here), that haven't received the latest memo from Central Command but they will, so time to prepare for the next assault on science. -
By the way - if there's anyone out there that can be bothered to engage Stamper Stamp in his/her tedious arguments, they may want to hone their skills through the free MOOC that starts today through the University of Queensland.

Oooh! CATASTROPHIC!!
Yeah, we all see what you did there.
Why not try the Daily Mail comments section - it's got bells on. -
Not only do conservatives believe in climate change; they understand it – or at least its consequences – far better than many liberals.
It’s taken liberals so very long to realise this. The page turned on the climate change debate many years ago. The theory and the evidence for it’s veracity is hardly new. Sadly the liberals have been spending their time counteracting the well funded denial apparatus for many wasted years. Well played neo-cons.
When will they realise that the game has moved on? The turf war over adaption vs mitigation is well underway and still the liberals are trying to make sure everyone is happy about the science concensus.Simon Bridges is already positioning himself as an evangelist for electric vehicles, ready to bathe in the reflected ‘green’ glow they confer. The techno-cornucopians are ready to present us with the next wonderful invention (that will make hardly any difference to the atmospheric CO2 concentration). Kathryn Ryan will yet again proselytise about the wonders of Lanzatec, oblivious to the highly limited use of such technology. The Labour Party will still campaign on a policy of GGrrrowth and the Greens will still promote tourism as a reason to protect the environment.
And still we will track an RCP of 6.5 – 8… -
Hard News: Media Take: The Easter Show, in reply to Tom Semmens,
Tamaki is an ignorant tosspot, so he wouldn’t have the foggiest what the big idea, the “good news” actually was.
Are christians always so judgemental or is it only the ones who really know the true faith?

most scholars believe he existed
So pleased that you didn't capitalise the 'h'. One of the joys of not residing in the USA...
