Muller Mangles the Message

Todd Muller has posted some thoughts on Friday’s School Strike for Climate on his Facebook page. As he predicted, there has been a bit of a ‘pile on’ in the comments because he wasn’t alarmist enough.  The climate reality deniers cannot handle anything but complete subservience to the

There is no point in pretending that Jacinda can rein in Shane Jones. She should, of course, but she won’t. She should want to, as he is giving her government an even worse public perception than her own ministers, but there is still nothing that she can do. The

National Party Distracted by Things That Don’t Matter

National Party Distracted by Things That Don’t Matter
