"This climate conference will go down in history as the retirement party for the Flat Earth Society of the United States of America,"
Last year, in Bali, the US delegation was told to "lead or get out of the way" by a delegate from Papua New Guinea, who received a round of applause.
Here in Key-wee-land, where evidence doesn't matter as long as you BELIEVE, all forward motion on climate change has apparently ceased. The government is Hide-ing its head in the sand, awaiting the outcome of a "review" of the evidence. The "review" itself is based on the verifiably mistaken presumption (emphasis on the "pre") that there is doubt that human activity is a contributor to climate change.
Just because the NZ Herald and others refuse to print items reporting the latest science on the subject (anyone recall the last time they saw one?) doesn't mean the ice at the poles has stopped melting.
On November 8th, New Zealand became quite a bit flatter than it had been. If NACTional refuse to lead on this, then we owe it to ourselves and the planet to get them out of the way. Working on it.
