How about we petition the government to ask the population of NZ how we feel?
I think they’ll find they no longer represent even a small portion of us!
And I am actually siding with Australia over our own!!!!!!

Really, is there a better alternative than genetic mutation of food? Did anyone do any research as to the side effects of these foods on a really long term basis?

What is the mean age of the scientists that has openly opposed the Global warming phenomenon and that it is caused by human activities? It would be interesting to note I would think and guess that they would be much younger than 50 yrs old.

These skeptics are in denial and that is the second hardest type of mindset to convince, the first is suspicion…

Comment on Gareth Morgan on climate change by Mike

Morgan’s book Poles Apart is a really good read and written in a way that laymen can understand some of the complexities of climate change. (A copy is in our TAS library). One amazing conclusion to me was that there is so much agreement between his so called teams of ‘sceptics’ and ‘alarmist’ groups of professionals of the problems facing us. The main difference is that the former do not think mankind’s fossil fuel addiction is playing a part.

Far comment Bob, What do you think about carbon credits going to help other countries? i think we should keep it in our own country to help out here as we are not exactly a rich one,

Richard nobody denies that natural climate change has and still does occur but that simply proves that climate is sensitive to an energy imbalance.

If the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up.

Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Past climate change actually provides evidence for our climate’s sensitivity to CO2.

There is plenty of evidence of the effects of climate change including sea level rise. Sea levels are measured by a variety of methods that show close agreement – sediment cores, tidal gauges, satellite measurements. What they find is sea level rise has been steadily accelerating over the past century.
