Dear Sir
Global Warming
I care about the environment but government's call to stop climatechange is ludicrous. Climate change is a natural occurrence. Didn't the earth warm after various ice ages?
The evidence of distorted figures continues to ominously unfold. The science is far from settled. 31,000 Scientists deny that man made CO2 is responsible for climate change.
Saying 30 odd countries have an ETS system is another information distortion. It’s the EU and us. No one will have an ETS as comprehensive as ours. National arrogantly thinks it is wonderful to lead such a great cause. The rest of the world think we are a joke. We will have a 100% ETS. The EU will have a 6% ETS, or some minor fraction. In the end the whole world swindle will have to collapse and won't we look so very very stupid.

DO YOU HAVE NEW FACTS TO SUPPORT THE NEED FOR AN ETS?
On 10 May , 2005 , Hansard recorded the following STATEMENT BY YOU.
"On behalf of the National Party I give you the good news , that the climate change amendment bill is a load of rubbish and the National Party will not be supporting it for very good reasons '.You also stated, "putting a self imposed straitjacket on our businesses and saying to foreign investment , don't come near us." "..this is a complete and utter hoax ."
I wonder if you would be good enough to share the facts that have caused you to change your mind on this important issue. Have you actually heard from anyone who has threatened to boycott New Zealand products if we do not impose this tax? I suspect not..so what has changed since 2005? I really am prepared to be convinced that the majority of New Zealanders are going to benefit by this scheme.
I challenge you to convince me.

We, the scientists and researchers in climate and related fields,
economists, policymakers, and business leaders, assembled at Times
Square, New York City, participating in the 2008 International
Conference on Climate Change,
Resolving that scientific questions should be evaluated solely by the
scientific method;
Affirming that global climate has always changed and always will,
independent of the actions of humans, and that carbon dioxide (CO2)
is not a pollutant but rather a necessity for all life;
Recognising that the causes and extent of recently-observed climatic
change are the subject of intense debates in the climate science
community and that oft-repeated assertions of a supposed 'consensus'
among climate experts are false;

In all clubs and organisations, success comes through the executive listening to its members. Failing to do so can bring its downfall. New Zealand does not need an Emissions Trading Scheme.

Kiwi Party Press release 30 May 2010
Kiwi Party leader Larry Baldock will lead a peaceful demonstration to call for the deferral of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) outside the National Party regional conference in Waitangi today.
Two weeks ago at a similar gathering in Hamilton, the National party delegates unanimously passed a remit that called for the delay of the ETS. A similar remit is believed to be on the agenda at the Northland regional conference.
"In fact," said Mr Baldock, "it would seem there is considerable opposition within the National membership to the crazy ETS going ahead, but democracy does not seem to be very healthy within the party.

Christopher Booker 29 May 2010
No one can explain how we cut emissions by four fifths without closing down virtually all of our economy, writes Christopher Booker.
Two events last week led me to muse on the links between the man who is now our Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Chris Huhne, and the extinction of the woolly mammoth. A team of scientists suggest in Nature Geoscience that the sudden extinction of the mammoths some 12,000 years ago, as the world emerged from the last ice age, may have had a dramatic effect on the Earth’s climate. They argue that the emission by these giant herbivores of nine million tons a year of methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than CO2, was so significant that their disappearance led to a sharp drop in global temperatures, and the world temporarily froze over again in the re-glaciation known as the Younger Dryas.

Ben Webster, Environment Editor May 29, 2010
Britain's premier scientific institution is being forced to review its
statements on climate change after a rebellion by members who question
mankind's contribution to rising temperatures.
The Royal Society has appointed a panel to rewrite the 350-year-old
institution's official position on global warming. It will publish a new
"guide to the science of climate change" this summer. The society has been
accused by 43 of its Fellows of refusing to accept dissenting views on
climate change and exaggerating the degree of certainty that man-made
emissions are the main cause.
