To John Key from Peter F 15th September 2009

John Key
Prime Minister of New Zealand

Dear Prime Minister,

This is addressed to you because I no longer have any faith in your Climate Change Minister Dr Smith. He seems quite incapable of distinguishing evidence from hype with respect to climate change. The science is actually very simple but he clearly refuses to read anything contrary to his beliefs and fails to understand the difference between physical evidence and computer models, the latter being based on unproven assumptions (we should now say “on proven false assumptions”)

To Nick Smith from Peter F 2009

 

Dear Dr Smith
 
I have just received a copy of the pamphlet New Zealand’s 2020 Emissions Target. I am angry over the shear dishonesty in figures, masquerading as science, quoted in this pamphlet. I am also really angry that you want to charge every taxpayer $30 per week plus increase fuel, power and food, to tilt at windmills, or is it to be able to grandstand at Coppenhagen.
 
When you were made climate spokeperson in opposition I thought National had someone who could sort the sheep from the goats. I sent you several critical articles that showed that CO2 is not a driver of climate change but it is obvious that you are not reading any of the scientific evidence that disputes the IPCC’s hypothetical models.

To Nick Smith from Peter F 2009

 Dear Dr Smith

I am appalled at the decision to proceed with an ETS. The scientific evidence is now in and very clear. CO2 is not a driver of climate change.
 
The definitive evidence that shows that CO2 is not responsible for climate change was published on 26 August in a paper by Professor R Lindzen (Geophysical Research Letters, Vol. 36, No. 16. (26 August 2009), L16705.)

To the Select Committee from the Centre for Resource Management Studies 21 May 2009

 

 

 

Further Submission by the CRMS to the Select Committee: Review of the Emissions Trading Scheme. (As requested by Dr Paul Hutchison.)

 

1.         Background
Both the US and the New Zealand governments are pondering their commitment to an Emissions Trading Scheme and how best to implement it – or even whether to implement one at all.
Agriculture is a major issue in both countries. New Zealand’s agriculture is our major export earner while US agriculture is a major beneficiary of the internal trade in which farm subsidies are exchanged for votes.
However, while New Zealand farmers are faced with buying carbon credits because our ruminants belch methane into the atmosphere, US farmers are selling carbon credits because their grasslands sequester carbon into the soil.

To John Key and others from Michael D 7 October 2009

 

John
 
I did meet you with PeterVavaour a few years ago when you were kind enough to give us half an hour of your time in Parliament buildings
 
I have voted for and supported National all my life (I am now 64)
 
The passing and pursuit of the ETS is a farce. You must know there is no correlation between global warming and CO2
 
IPCC is a joke and we will soon be the laughing stock of the world.
 
If National passes the ETS National will NEVER get another vote or support from any of the five people in my family.
 
Very very sincerely
 
Michael D

To John Key from Maureen C 16 September 2009

Good afternoon Mr Key

 

“Today's debate about global warming is essentially a debate about freedom. The environmentalists would like to mastermind each and every possible (and impossible) aspect of our lives.”

 

Vaclav Klaus

President Czech Republic 2003 and re-elected 2008

from his book Blue Planet in Green Shackles.

 

We can only hope this man attends the Copenhagen conference.

To the Select Committee from Maureen C 6 October 2009

 

 
I submit that this Bill should be withdrawn, the current Emission Trading Act be repealed and the Government of New Zealand take no action in Copenhagen.
 
The introduction of this scheme and the previous scheme will impose costs onto the NZ economy at a time of recession with no measurable beneficial outcome.
 
Whether the costs are imposed on the taxpayer or onto industry emitters, the outcome will be the same. New Zealanders will pay the price for ill-conceived legislation as any increased costs incurred by producers will be passed on to consumers.

To the Select Committee from Donald O 1 October 2009

 

I represent no organisation and submit as a voter and tax payer. I am opposed to the ETS concept completely, as there is little sensible scientific evidence that CO2 had anything to do with the 1 degree of warming we had last century. 
From about 1998 we have entered a cooling period while the CO2 continues to climb. A sensible approach would be to stop the headlong rush to destroy our economy and instead set up a watching brief. a royal commission perhaps?

To the Select Committee from Paul T 12 October 2009

 

I am submitting this in my own name. I have no quantification of the number of people who would support my viewpoint, but I know that it is considerable and increasing.
 
I do not wish to appear before the select committee to speak on this submission.
 
My educational qualifications include a double-major in Accounting and Economics from Auckland University. I am now retired and have had more time to devote to this issue than most. I have had a life-long interest in mathematics and science and have better than a school-leavers competence in both subjects, sufficient to be able to weigh the arguments from both sides of the debate without having to rely entirely on the say-so of someone else.
