To Nick Smith from Paul T

Hello Nick,

I have read on your web site the following : --

"The Nelson and Marlborough economies are struggling. The last thing we
need is another $25 million being sucked out with this new tax. If you
would like to assist the ‘axecarbontax’ petition and campaign, contact
my office. We need to bury this lemon."
http://www.nick4nelson.co.nz/nelson-marlborough-farming-december-column.html

However when I click on the link to axecarbontax I do not find anything
there. I really want to help to axe all and any carbon taxes because not
only can we not afford them but they have been proven to be fraudulently
based on pseudo-science, merely to create a panic and allow taxes and a
world-wide bureaucracy to be set up to control the world. I think that
it is unconscionable for the present Government to proceed with this
scam while the rest of the world laughs up their sleeve at our stupidity.

Mike Butler: National feeling ETS heat

Breaking Views: 11 June 2010

Nick Smith and National Party MPs are publishing incorrect and misleading statements to neutralize the ACT campaign against the Emissions Trading Scheme, John Boscawen told a meeting in Hastings on Thursday night. “But this is a last-ditch attempt to justify the unreasonable excesses of the ETS regime”, he said. He urged everyone who opposes the ETS to email Prime Minister John Key and at least the top six members of Cabinet. He did note, however, that anyone who does so would receive a standard email in return containing eight misleading statements.

Climate Change Minister Nick Smith alone is driving the ETS, Boscawen said, with the Prime Minister’s support.

The ETS will be extended across most productive sectors of the economy from July 1 this year, making them instantly more costly for everyone, he said.

To Nick Smith and Bill English from Ken S 9 June 2010

Honorable Bill English & Honorable Nick Smith
 
Sirs, It is a joke for this government which has turned it back on, and shunned, New Zealand's best climate scientists - to now proclaim a new science department as the salvation for our economy. Science must be allowed to operate freely, unfettered by the popular opinions and fads of the day, something that this government has shown it clearly does not understand !
 
It appears certain to many of us that the position of Science Advisor to the Prime Minister has been created by this government to validate a predetermined policy on emissions trading. Science has been thrown out the window and been replaced with window dressing. It is time to dismiss the Science Advisor, now that he has placed himself in a position where you can blame him for what you now know - is an increasingly unpopular and scientifically unjustified policy !

Nick!
 
I cannot believe your effrontery!! How can you stand up on TV, as you did on Sunday last, and tell the people of New Zealand untruths the way you did.
 
Quote "if we do not proceed with our ETS we will fall behind the rest of the World!" unquote.
 
We are the only country in the World with an ETS!!!
 
I have just returned from a 6 week visit to Germany where I looked very closely at what they are doing and spoke with INTELLIGENT local people, engineers, scientists etc, about the question of man made global warming. To a man they rubbished the idea. They were all fully aware that the whole thing is a scam engineered by politicians.
 
You are claiming that there are 29 European countries with ETS' That is also completely untue. What are you trying to do?????
 
Have no illusions Nick, when the people of NZ finally wake up to tha scam you are trying to pull over their eyes is in fact scam, you will be gone before lunch never to return unless you join the Green (watermelon) Party where you clearly belong.
 
Back off  before it is too late!!

Legal verdict: Manmade global warming science doesn't withstand scrutiny

By Lawrence Solomon  June 6, 2010 – 10:47 pm

A cross examination of global warming science conducted by the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Law and Economics has concluded that virtually every claim advanced by global warming proponents fail to stand up to scrutiny.

The cross-examination, carried out by Jason Scott Johnston, Professor and Director of the Program on Law, Environment and Economy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, found that "on virtually every major issue in climate change science, the [reports of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] and other summarizing work by leading climate establishment scientists have adopted various rhetorical strategies that seem to systematically conceal or minimize what appear to be fundamental scientific uncertainties or even disagreements."

International aviation fuel 100% purely exempt from ETS

Federated Farmers Media Release  8 June 2010

As the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from 1 July, looks set to strip at least $1.527 billion from taxpayers, those Kiwis emigrating from New Zealand will be spared the ETS’ cost on the fuel their plane consumes.

 
“International aviation fuel into and from New Zealand is totally exempt from New Zealand’s ETS and that goes right back to the Kyoto Protocol itself,” says Don Nicolson, Federated Farmers President.
 
“Given international avgas is 100% purely exempt from the ETS, it’s farcical to suggest ‘reputation risk’ and a ‘trade backlash’ if we don’t embrace an all-encompassing ETS. 

Barry Brill's Open Letter to Professor Gluckman

Barry Brill's Open Letter to Professor Sir Peter Gluckman
Prime Minister’s Chief Science Adviser

Dear Sir Peter

In your address at NIWA on 22 April, you worried that controversies in the field of climate change may be changing the way the public perceives science and scientists.

You were critical of those in the profession who “do not get beyond their biases, or are careless or fraudulent”, and identified the solution as greater transparency – “the scientific enterprise is built on publication, repetition, peer review and the inherent scepticism and questioning of scientists.”

Few could disagree. It is the absence of these normal building-blocks of science that has tended to bring climate science into disrepute.

Open Letter to Professor Sir Peter Gluckman

Open Letter to Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, Prime Minister’s Chief Science Adviser

Dear Professor Gluckman

I have been reading your letter to Dr. Doug Edmeades commenting on his presentation regarding climate science and I wonder whether you would be prepared to read my comments on your comments.

I should begin by introducing myself.

I would claim a distinguished and eventful scientific career.

I was a Major scholar at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, the holder of a First Class Honours Degree in Chemistry, an MA, and a PhD in Chemistry, all rather long ago.

OPEN LETTER TO HON Dr NICK SMITH
 
Office of Hon Dr Nick Smith
Minister for Environment, Climate Change Issues and ACC
04 817 6597 T
07/06/10
Dear Hon Dr Nick Smith
                        Thank you for your letter in reply to my E-mail. I must say it was pleasing to receive a composed letter unlike the pro forma replies normally used to acknowledge correspondence.
However, I was gobsmacked by the contents of the letter. The bulk of it looks as if taken straight out of an IPCC report (haven’t you read about Climate-gate?). Successive Governments have tried to use Science (and shonky Science at that) to justify imposing taxes on the ratepayers. 
 Your letter shows that this Government will impose Emission charges regardless of the lack of justification. The ETS is a political and economic measure which has got nothing to do with Climate Change (which the Prime Minster, and I assume you also, believe in) and is just a way of trying to balance the books.

To John Key from Malcolm R 7 June 2010

Prime Minister,

 
 The past eighteen months started with some sense of elation . The first six months seeing actions taken which many agreed were right and proper actions. We believed that we had at last elected a government which was determined to right previous ill conceived actions . The introduction of the smacking bill and the petition to take it from the statutes being only one of what was to be several badly thought out decisions.
 
   It all turned to custard when you have persisted to progress the E.T.S. and pass the December 09 legislation. . Since first writing to you in November 2008 , I have continued extensive research into Climate Change ; or whatever you next decide to call it , and it has become very obvious that the advise you have received on the matter is not only wrong , but so manipulated that you are placing the lower income people ($30,000and less earnings )of this country in a penurious position . It is my belief that you and your fellow M.Ps. have lost all touch with reality .
