It can come as no surprise to anybody with an IQ above, say, 15, that the climate change farce has done its dash.
Apparently not the case with Luxon. The man is so pathetically out of touch with reality that he openly declares: “Oh look, you can’t be living in the 21st Century and deny human-induced climate change is real. It is real. There is no room for climate change denialists or minimalists in the 21st Century, I put it to you. That’s why the National Government signed New Zealand up to the Paris Agreement. That’s why we are deeply committed to Net Carbon Zero by 2050.”
Well, I’ve got news for you Mr (Humpty Dumpty) Luxon: I am living in the 21st century and what’s more, I lived in the 20th century for longer than you have. I’ve seen half-witted morons like you commit to half-arsed stupid policies for as long as I’ve been on this planet. The tragedy is that none of you ever learn.
You are, of course, absolutely right when you say that climate change is real. Again, only a half-witted moron would suggest otherwise.
Where we differ (because I am not a half-witted moron) is that, “There is no room for climate change denialists or minimalists in the 21st Century, I put it to you.”
I respectfully put it to you Mr Luxon, that having read the “climate science” in considerable depth, I am neither a climate change denialist nor minimalist and I strongly resent your personal attack on my intellect and integrity. I suspect I am one of millions around the world (including New Zealand) who hold that view.
Look down at your feet and compare where they are in relation to your electorate. Someone is out of step.
The polls strongly suggest it’s you.
Climate has changed daily since the beginning of time. Science clearly shows that the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have been both higher and lower than today and let’s face it: without CO2, life ceases to exist.
If CO2 was more prevalent in history before we came along and has fluctuated over the millennia, why in God’s name would we claim that humans have caused the largely irrelevant minimal fluctuations of the 19th and 20th centuries?
Quite apart from anything else, why would you as prime minister, take such a costly and unnecessary position? Seriously, who asked you to do this? Why would you do it?
Nobody in your electorate gives a rat’s butt about New Zealand’s emissions. We have a completely stuffed economy to deal with while you mess about with crap like this (and legislating against free speech).
I am appalled at your lack of logic and insight and can only conclude that you are the literal village idiot.
To be fair, I offer this from the Washington Post (world renowned for it’s accuracy and impartial reporting):

The current polls speak volumes. An election today could deliver a Labour, Green, Te Pāti Māori coalition.
It seems there are more morons in NZ than we thought: Have you forgotten Covid? Ardern? Chippy?
No wonder intelligent Kiwis are leaving in droves: it’s embarrassing to be a New Zealander at the moment.
