ACT PARTY DELETES CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY ‘STUFF NZ 27th February 2016 (Article Henry Cooke)

ACT deletes climate change policy from their website

ACT has removed their climate change policy from their website – reportedly on the same day leader David Seymour launched a blistering attack on the Green Party’s environmental record.  ….The 2008 policy, which claimed New Zealand was not warming and pledged to withdraw the country from the Kyoto Protocol, was unavailable on the ACT Party’s website as of Friday evening.

“New Zealand is not warming,” the Policy Paper said “If it were to warm moderately, we would likely benefit in terms of land-based production, human health and reduced heating bills. Arguments that we would lose from sea-level rise or more extreme events are unproven conjectures.”

Links to the policy are still catalogued by Google and a cached version is available. A user on Reddit said that the policy was available on the website as late as Friday morning, but this claim could not be independently verified.

Seymour released a scathing attack on the Green Party on Friday, stating they did “bugger all for the environment”.  Reached by telephone on Saturday morning, Seymour did not confirm or deny the deletion of the policy. David Seymour responded “The thing about websites is that you can always say that something was or wasn’t on a website at some point in the past,”….And added  “It’s the easiest thing in the world to claim and impossible to prove.”

Seymour called later to confirm that the policy had been on the website’s server but not actively linked to for “a long time – at least two years.”. He emphasized that his party was focusing on the 2017 election, not the past. He suspected that media were being tipped off about the deletion by someone in the Green Party, “who have been underperforming at representing NZ on the environment. …. Saying “I know which election I’m focusing on. If they want to focus on another one they are welcome to.”

The ACT Party are holding their annual conference at Orakei Bay this weekend, and a focus on the environment is suspected. Seymour said the party had never denied the existence of climate change. He described himself as a “luke-warmer. Saying that “I believe it is real, and a portion of it is manmade, but I question the extent to which it is dangerous,” he then said “Since the industrial revolution we’ve increased the concentration of C02 by about 100 part per million. No question about that.”

In the  first page of the deleted policy paper:- He called for a more scientific and mature discussion of the issue. Saying “I think it is time for a slightly more intelligent debate. Otherwise its a bit like being back in the playground – ‘Are you are a denier or are you a good person?  It’s all a bit puerile.” And – “It’s actually a scientific debate – and quite a complex one.”

David Seymour launches attack on Greens, says they’re ‘doing bugger all for the environment’

ACT leader David Seymour is readying to fire shots across the Green Party bow, accusing them of “socialist economics” and neglecting the environment. He said they also “just really piss me off”.  The rank and file behind the single-MP party will gather at Auckland’s exclusive Orakei Bay this weekend for their annual conference, which is expected to carry a heavy environmental theme. It’s understood Seymour will announce an environmental policy, geared around private enterprise playing a greater role in conservation.

It’s unclear exactly what that will include, but is expected to centre on Government incentives to increase private environmental custodianship, and moves to better define ownership. Seymour was keen to boost the party’s environmental credentials, saying they had gone under-reported in the past.

And he took issue with the “hypocrisy of the Greens”,  monopolizing environmental issues. “They have squatted on this piece of political real estate, while doing bugger all for the environment and often doing things that are counter-productive, because they don’t understand markets.

“They annoy me enormously, and I just think it’s wrong because I actually do care about the environment and I think it’s an important part of being a New Zealander,” he said. “What you’ve got is a group of people who are actually running a completely separate agenda which is socialist-economics, and neglecting [the environment]. “The reality is they just piss me off.”

He cited a bill by Green MP Gareth Hughes last year, which sought to regulate the buy-back rate that electricity retailers charged people selling solar power back into the grid. “If his bill had succeeded then you would have ended up with retailers saying we don’t want to be in business, and if you’d set it too low then people considering installing solar panels would have said the returns aren’t as good as they could be

“It’s one little example of a supposedly environmental party, with a supposedly environmental policy which if it had succeeded, would have actually reduced the uptake of solar one way or another, and increased emissions from the New Zealand electricity industry.”.. Green Party co-leader James Shaw declined to comment, but a Green party spokesperson said Seymour’s gestures appeared token. .. ACT seems to be claiming some kind of road to Damascus epiphany that the environment is worth saving.

“David could start by supporting our call for a moratorium on further dairy conversions on the Waikato River to help make it swimmable again.”.. Seymour’s keynote address would focus heavily on what he calls the four Ps of free-market environmentalism – private initiative, property rights, pricing and prosperity.  ACT members looking to flash their green side will also be able to book a ride in a Tesla S – an electric powered sports car that can outpace most high-performance sports vehicles.

Others lined up to speak at the conference would cover child poverty, the Government’s position on superannuation and victim support.

Nick Kearney ACT Climate Policy 2008

In 2008, the ACT Party’s climate policy, supported by candidates like Nick Kearney (who stood for the party in the North Shore electorate that year), was rooted in climate skepticism and opposition to government intervention in the economy.

2008 ACT Climate Policy Highlights:-

Climate Skepticism: The party’s official 2008 policy paper explicitly stated that “New Zealand is not warming”. It argued that moderate warming would likely benefit New Zealand through increased land productivity and reduced heating bills.                                                                                                                                                                                                               Opposition to Kyoto Protocol: ACT pledged to withdraw New Zealand from the Kyoto Protocol, describing the arguments for sea-level rise and extreme weather events as “unproven conjectures”.

Opposition to the ETS: ACT was a vocal critic of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) introduced by the Labour government in September 2008. To protest the legislation, the party famously performed street theatre featuring a “witch” whipping a “farmer” who was dragging a large cheque made out to Russia for $5 billion, representing the cost to taxpayers.

Alternative Energy: Rather than carbon mitigation, the party argued for investment in “proper alternatives” such as nuclear power, while dismissing renewable energy like wind and solar as unachievable and unnecessary for cutting emissions.  Nick Kearney’s Role in 2008:- Candidate Stance: As the ACT candidate for North Shore in 2008, Kearney adhered to the party’s platform of fiscal conservatism and limited regulation.

Review of ETS: Following the 2008 election, ACT entered a confidence-and-supply agreement with the National Party. A key condition of this deal was a formal review of the Emissions Trading Scheme, which ultimately led to the significant watering down of the scheme in 2009 (e.g., the “two-for-one” deal where emitters only paid for half their emissions).

NOTE: The 2 for one deal ‘ NZ the biggest Climate Cheats in the World’. Buying cheap Russian & Ukraine Carbon Units knowing they were fraudulent. Contid to do so whilst they were kept for profiting for a future date. (2 Gareth Morgan Reports)

Controversy: In 2010, it was revealed that Kearney, then an ACT Board Member, had been involved in sharing sensitive government papers regarding the ETS with political activists to encourage public opposition. By 2016, the ACT Party removed the specific “New Zealand is not warming” language from its website, shifting its focus toward the economic inefficiency of domestic targets relative to global emissions.

NICK KEARNEY’S STANCE:

Prioritization: In 2025 local body election surveys, Kearney rated climate change action a 7 out of 10 in importance for decision-making.   Core Beliefs: As a candidate for Christchurch City Council, he emphasized protecting the environment as a priority, alongside tackling rising rates and improving service delivery.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Economic Focus: Historically, Kearney has critiqued policies that he believes harm small investors, such as previous government attempts to remove rental tax write-offs, reflecting ACT’s broader economic-first approach to regulation.

ACT Party’s 2026 Climate Policies:  As part of the current coalition government, ACT has successfully pushed for significant revisions to New Zealand’s climate legal framework.

Weakening International Alignment: ACT advocates for “taking back control” by removing requirements for the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to align with international targets under the Paris Agreement. The party argues that Paris is “broken” and that New Zealand should be prepared to walk away if reforms aren’t achieved.

Legislative Changes (2025–2026):-

Zero Carbon Act: ACT has long sought to repeal or significantly weaken the Zero Carbon Act and the Climate Change Commission.

Methane Targets  The government is introducing legislation to weaken the 2050 biogenic methane target from the original 24–47% reduction to a less ambitious 14–24%.

Carbon Neutral Government: The deadline for government organizations to achieve carbon neutrality was shifted from 2025 to 2050.

Agricultural Emissions: ACT firmly opposes emissions pricing for agriculture, arguing it would gut rural New Zealand for no global environmental gain.

Infrastructure over Mitigation: ACT proposes shifting focus from “wasting billions” on mitigation to building resilient infrastructure (stormwater, bridges, ports) capable of handling extreme weather events.

Energy Policy: The party supports lifting bans on offshore gas exploration and treating coal mining as any other mining to ensure energy reliability.

 

ACT Climate Change Policy (2008)

Goal:  That no New Zealand government will ever impose needless and unjustified taxation or regulation on its citizens in a misguided attempt to reduce global warming or become a world leader in carbon neutrality.

Background

  • The Labour Government is determined that New Zealand will lead the world in the race to carbon neutrality even though nothing New Zealand could do, including disappearing off the face of the planet, would have any impact on global climate.
  • New Zealand is not warming. There is no warming trend since 1970 and the slight warming trend since 1950 is not statistically significant.
  • If it were to warm moderately, we would likely benefit in terms of land-based production, human health and reduced heating bills. Arguments that we would lose from sea-level rise or more extreme events are unproven conjectures.
  • Policies to reduce emissions in New Zealand could not conceivably reduce global warming, even if warming were globally harmful.
  • The Government ratified the Kyoto Protocol in advance of Australia for short-term political gain without the benefit of any supporting analysis from Treasury. New Zealand can expect to pay billions of dollars to foreign governments like Russia, for carbon credits to offset their emissions.
  • Now the government wants to force us all to pay more for fuel and electricity beyond 2012.
  • Treasury’s analysis of the Emissions Trading Scheme made no case that its benefits would exceed the costs. The scheme lends itself to corrupt allocations of permits and seedy MMP negotiations were necessary to ram it through parliament.
  • It is reckless to distort the New Zealand economy in the cause of an ineffectual Protocol that expires in 2012 and won’t be rolled forward because its 1990 targets are unacceptable to China and the United States.
  • The NZ Institute of Economic Research states in their 2008 study “The Impact of the Proposed Emissions Trading Scheme” that:
  • Dairy land values will fall by 40%
  • Beef and sheep land values will fall by 23%
  • Annual household incomes will fall by $3,000
  • The average hourly rate will fall by $2.30
  • Annually 22,000 new jobs will be lost
  • Only ACT opposes Labour in seeking to force New Zealanders to pay much more for energy and electricity.
  • ACT believes that New Zealand can play a responsible role in the international community while keeping its powder dry. In particular, it should not move faster than Australia or the United States.

PRINCIPLES

Freedom – People should be free to live and work how they choose, including making their own decisions as to what light bulbs to use, unless there is clear scientific evidence that their actions are damaging the environment, or unless they are harming others

Put New Zealanders needs first – Until there is clear scientific evidence that we should do otherwise, energy policy should be primarily concerned with affordability and stability of supply.

Proceed with caution – The precautionary principle works both ways. „Green Business‟ opportunities which address non-existent problems and needs are not “business opportunities” but a massive risk and likely to destroy wealth on a massive scale

Do not make needless rods for our own backs – The government is globally unique including methane gas (produced by ruminants) in calculating our Kyoto commitments. This is extreme, contrary to all other member countries and should be amended

Distinguish between real pollutants and carbon dioxide – carbon dioxide is a vital and necessary greenhouse gas crucial for plant growth and human survival

Make decisions based on sound science – not on blind belief or ideology which is increasingly divorced from reason

A commonsense approach to Climate Change would recognize that:-

  • There is no point destroying our economy in pursuit of „carbon neutrality‟ if carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are not driving global warming.
  • Any carbon trading scheme is prone to fraud – and indeed invites fraud

POLICY DETAIL

  • ACT will repeal the Emissions Trading Scheme and withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol
  • Major investments in infrastructure will not depend on the anti-global warming hypothesis for their economic viability. (Hydro power and geothermal power stands on its own feet.)
  • Reform the Resource Management Act and Local Government Act to be neutral on climate change and „sustainability‟ (often a code word for anti-global warming).
  • Reform Transport legislation to make transport serve efficiency and mobility rather than „sustainability‟ unless a real issue of sustainability can be identified
  • Ensure that government agencies and advisors acknowledge any conflicts of interest.

If you believe that New Zealanders should not be taxed on the basis of unproven global warming theories, then give ACT your Party vote, for better informed policy on climate change

AN ANTI-SCIENCE POLITICAL TACTIC ‘ A GLOBAL AGENDA TO CONTROL PEOPLE, PLANET FOR A VERY WEALTHY PROFIT’ AND NOT A SINGLE COW WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ‘THIS SURELY IS  A  CASH COW’?

June 12th 1996 Wall Street Journal reported that last week the IPCC (UN) regarded as the best source of scientific information about human impact on the earths climate released The Science of Climate Change 1995 its first new report for 5 years. This was said to be the most authoritative statement on global warming, policy makers and the press worldwide would report on the critical decisions on energy policy that would have an enormous impact on US oil and gas prices and on the international community. As always the IPCC report has been highly regarded because it is peer reviewed, that is read, discussed and modified and even re-modified by so called International experts. However this report is not what it appears to be, it is not the version that was approved by contributing scientists listed on the title page. This indeed is a very disturbing corruption of the peer reviewed process reported an expert who has more than 60 years as a member of the American Scientific Community, including service as president of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society. His words were “ I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer reviewed process that the events that led up to this IPCC report. Key changes were made after scientists had met and accepted what they thought was the final peer reviewed version, believing that IPCC would obey IPCC rules- a body of regulations, that’s suppose to govern the IPCC panels actions.

There is nothing in the IPCC Rules that permits anyone to change a scientific report after it has been accepted by the panel of scientific contributors and the full IPCC. Participating scientists accepted ‘The Science of Climate Change’ in Madrid, then it was accepted again in Rome.  But more than 15 sections in Chapter 8 of the report, the key chapter setting out scientific evidence for and against human influence over climate were changed or deleted after the scientists charged with examining this question had accepted the supposedly final text. These were not merely cosmetic changes, nearly all worked to remove skeptics’ with which scientists regard claims that human activities are having a major impact on climate in general and on global warming in particular.

The following passages are examples of those included in the approved report but deleted from the supposedly peer reviewed published version:-“None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed [climate] changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases.”

  • “No study to date has positively attributed all or part [of the climate change observed to date] to anthropogenic [man-made] causes.”
  • “Any claims of positive detection of significant climate change are likely to remain controversial until uncertainties in the total natural variability of the climate system are reduced.”

It is reported that the reviewing scientist used this original language to keep themselves and the IPCC honest. IPCC reports are often called the ‘CONSENSUD’ view. If they lead to carbon taxes and restraints on economic growth, they will have a major and almost certainly a destructive impact on economies of the world. This is no doubt deception and corruption to deceive policy makers and the public into believing that the scientific evidence shows that human activities are causing global warming. There is evidential concern as to the IPCC process as to scientific evidence a global warming. The Wall Street Journal July 11th 1996 entitled ‘Coverup in the Greenhouse’? Author Dr. Seitz, former president of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, revealed that an unsponsored scientific report promoting global warming has been tampered with for political purposes.  That there had been protests from officials of the IPCC claiming that the revisions in their report, prior to publication “did nothing to change its emphasis”. And said that “ such unannounced change of an approved draft do not violate their rules of transparency and open review”.  However the evidence is there, and IPCC Officials quoted (Not named) by a Nature Article “The reasons for revisions to the chapter was to “ensure that it conformed to a ‘policymakers’ summary of the full report”. The response to that from the Scientific community of experts was “”Should not a summary conform to the underlying scientific report rather than vice versa?  The Wall Street Journal article pointed out that “the IPCC summary itself is a political document, is economical with the truth, has problems with selective presentations of facts, it totally ignored global temperature data gathered by weather satellite’s, because they contradict the results of the models used to predict future global warming.

IPCC providing so called scientific cover for political action, misusing respected scientists who never made extravagant claims about future warming. Where politicians and activists strive for international controls on energy use which was discussed in Geneva, when parties to the Global Climate Treaty convened, those that are anxious to stipulate that science is settled, trying to marginalize the growing number of scientific critics. It was reported that the IPCC Report on global climate change has been ‘scientifically cleansed. The author of this article in the Wall Street Journal 1996 was S Fred Singer, President of the Science & Environmental Policy Project. IPCC (UN) report that Science is Settled. It is the nature of science that is never settled. You will have heard that 97% of scientists believe humans are causing catastrophic global warming requiring govt action to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. his comes from surveyed climate related scientific studies, the results being over-simplified Many scientists whose papers were cited in this study have questioned its conclusions, suggesting that their papers were incorrectly interpreted, even accusing the author of cherry picking studies to fit the global agenda.

An UN senior official speculated that the world would be under water by the year 2000, misleading figures and stats, data continue to be peddled, and government leaders shut down any public debates. This is called an anti-science political tactic. Plus the activist mainstream media that influences populations mindsets that report that ‘Science is settled’. The New York Times  reported 10th December 2015 an article entitled “How Can Climate Science Be Settled?’. When computer models do not take into account all the variables, yet the media keep saying that climate change is settled. Science is never settled. Politicians and environmental activists and advocacy groups say that ‘climate is settled”.  The Beehive 6th December 2022 Speaker in the House was Dr Ayesha Verrall on Research, Science and Innovation focused on ‘future focused science system tackling NZ’ as big challenges on Climate Change. She referred to ‘shifting from a system with multiple small entities and strategies focusing on efforts on nationally significant priorities. Ultimately researchers, industry, government and Iwi focusing on sustained investment in new technologies and industries, that will embed Te Tiriti o Waitangi being more responsive to Iwi/Māori to improve wealth and resilience in these communities.

2nd December 2020 NZ Parliament Climate Change Declaration of Emergency references the IPCC and reducing the impact of human activity on the climate. Join 1800 jurisdictions in 32 countries to declare a climate emergency.  Seize the opportunities that a clean green reputation provides, includes the decline in Indigenous Biodiversity. Be a Carbon Neutral Govt by 2025. A declaration based on science. The UN IPCC. The declaration of global responsibility, a catalyst for change. Announcing the Carbon Neutral Programme. The ACT Party Simon Court speaker in Parliament stated that the Climate Emergency is simply a triumph of politics over practical solutions. He said “he knows that human activity has a significant impact on climate and the environment. ACT declared that the Climate Emergency was “Nothing but a Stunt”. He referred to “Stop flying MPs all over the country, wherever they like, as MPs are the only people in the world with unlimited travel budget to fly anywhere they like, whenever they want at the tax payers expense”.  However ACT believes that NZ Govt must play their part through innovation led business, engineers, scientists not through slogans and PR stunts. James Shaw embraced ‘Fridays for Climate Strikes’ school strikes for climate. Nicola Willis (National) said that the Climate Emergency Declaration will have no measurable impact on global climate change and the opposition know it. “ It won’t take a single car off the road. It won’t reduce the methane from a single cow, nor remove a single tonne of carbon dioxide from the air.  The motion before us employs all the implied drama of the word “emergency”, but it does so with zero practical effect. It is, unfortunately, yet another collection of words in place of the sincere policy and concerted action

New Zealand must take to drive down our emissions. I am very firmly of the view that climate change threatens our world and our communities, that the production of greenhouse gas emissions by people is its cause, that New Zealand must act to reduce our emissions, and, of course, that Parliament has a solemn responsibility to take steps to achieve that. Of course the National Party is on board with the global mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ”. Debbie Ngarewa Packer Co leader of Te Paati Maori Party referred to “protecting Mother Earth (Goddess Gaia) and Father (Sky) and a multitude of descendants, tribes and sub-tribes that descended from the Gods through to the Treaty of Waitangi, thus supporting the motion of the Climate Emergency.  In 2018 the IPCC released a landmark report that there is 12 years left to limit climate catastrophe. (Science is settled) Packer said. As she spoke about the $300 million fund to support Maori Farmers to transition to regenerative agricultural methods.

NOTE: The London School of Economics and Political Science reported 7th February 2018 ‘More Flaws in Estimates of the Economic Impacts Of Climate Change. Is fundamentally misleading and contains apparent mistakes. Prof Toi was a coordinating lead author of the IPCC Report in 2014, criticism of Toi stated he attempted to estimate the best-fir line. Several outside reviewers involved in the process expressed concern that estimates were not meaningful. Prof Toi ‘The Economic Impacts of Climate Change’ published 12th January 2018 by the ‘Review of Environmental Economics and Policy’ that provided an update to the survey in the in the  published IPCC Report.  It was found that based on 27 estimates from 22 studies listed in the 2018 IPCC Report concluded that “the welfare impacts of initial warming are positive”. However upon close examination it was revealed the finding was unsound, based on outweighing of a single outlier study that was more than 15 years old, that had sloppy errors, like Professor Toi previous papers. (This is the report that Debbie Packer embraced as she spoke about a $300 million fund for Indigenous farmers)

CHURCH BELLS RANG FOR CLIMATE ALARMISM IN NEW ZEALAND ‘CORPORATE CAPTURE’ HAD BEGAN

CHURCH BELLS RANG FOR CLIMATE ALARMISM IN NEW ZEALAND ‘CORPORATE CAPTURE’ HAD BEGAN  (30.10.2023)

23rd October 2009 The Mornington Methodist Church members were planning to ring their church bell 350 times over an hour, this was just one od six Dunedin Bells that would ring to support the 350th Day of Action. More than 4,000 events were taking place around the world on October 24th 2009 to encourage people to reduce their carbon emissions. 600 leaflets were distributed around a neighborhood in Dunedin. 350 Dunedin collective members groups as diverse as school pupils, musicians, artists, cyclists and skateboarders collaborated Dunedin’s Day Of Action to encourage Dunedin residents to reduce their fossil fuels.(Otago Daily Times 23/10/2009)

16th October 2008 (Pacific Scoop News) Ringing the Alarm on Climate Change (Release Anglian Church of Aotearoa. Church bells tolled up and down NZ on Saturday 24th October 2009. This was not a ‘civil defense emergency warning’. The church bells rang for the ‘350 Day’- global pointer to cut ‘carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere’. This was promoted by three Anglican Bishops. The Auckland Synod resolution was initiated by its Diocesan Climate Change Action Group, of which the convenor was Dr Richard Milne a Population Health Scientist. Milne said, at the time “remind church communities and individuals of the need to live more sustainably, to reduce their carbon footprint

He added “It’s particularly important, to make this statement before our government enters negotiations at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December”. The church gave a link to their website for further information on theology, science, economics, politics of global climate change (The link for the Diocesan Climate Change Action Group)

November 2009, at the Catholic Bishops Conference ‘Church leaders urged bolder action on climate change’  calling “political leaders to strive for a strong commitment by the international community at the Copenhagen Climate Summit” for the strongest commitment by the international community at the Copenhagen Summit. October 2009 following a meeting with the Prime Minister of NZ the church leaders from the Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist Churches and the Salvation Army churches released a statement outlining the environmental & economic impacts of climate change, and the importance of immediate action by the whole community.

They applauded the steps that the past and present govt had taken, but felt that the urgency of the situation is not sufficiently understood, they reported. Catholic Bishop John Drew Wellington said “The world is perched on the brink of a Kairos moment”, described as a moment in the scripture  that is a moment of opportunity, grace and truth”. Bishop Drew said that “Scientists warn us that the “window of opportunity for change is very narrow”. This “narrow window of opportunity, has been heard and noted many times”. 14th September 2022, 13 years later the World Economic Forum reports that the “UN announced “We have a narrow window of opportunity to create a better future for everyone”. They were referring to ‘global society lurching from crisis to crisis.

All the church leaders in NZ joined the World Council of Churches as they called ALL churches throughout NZ to ring their church bells at 3pm Sunday 13th December, midway through the UN Summit in Copenhagen, to call people to prayer and action in the face of climate change. The ‘narrow window of opportunity’ repeats itself time and time again. The UN Website 20th March 2023 14 years later, after the Church in NZ announced the “narrow window of opportunity. A major Un Report referring to the IPCC Greenhouse Emissions, a human caused climate change yet another “narrow window of opportunity” is reported by the UN.

7th November 2022 at a High Level UN Meeting the UN Secretary General announced “We need all hands on deck for faster, bolder climate action. A window of opportunity remains open, but only a narrow shaft of light appears”. A Headline Statement for Policymakers worldwide by the IPCC 4th October 2023 :This is a rapidly closing window of opportunity.

Climate Home News 4th October 2023 ‘ a course correction on COP28 negotiating table refers to the “Global  Community and the window of opportunity is rapidly closing”. 23rd April 2023 ‘Off the Charts Records’ Has Humanity finally broken. “However, a tiny window of opportunity remans open to tackle global warming”. Yes the ‘Narrow Window Of Opportunity” has been repeated time and time again. What is this window of opportunity, I have asked myself, through the many hours and years of research I have done?

I personally believe “it’s the destruction of the Global Free-market Enterprise Economy’. The exploitation of corporate multi-stakeholderism of Sovereign Nation States. The implanting of destroying Nation States to bring about a One World Governance under what is called Globalization’  The window of opportunity for Multi-stakeholder  Corporate wealth.. the Corporate Capture of the worlds economy, the massive transformation of populations throughout the world.. ‘The WEF/UN Great Reset’

The capitalist marketplace that is characterized by the dominance of hierarchical bureaucratic corporations. As Schwab announced to the world “Time for a Great Reset 3rd June 2020, he was then referring to the Global COVID crisis as n opportunity to build more sustainable systems. People Planet and Profit. A very wealthy profit for self interested corporations, large businesses. The Austrian Institute reported on 2nd June 2022 “The narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine and reset our world, we need a better capitalism. Namely ‘Corporate Capitalism’. Corporate Capture. The Globe and Mail reported “Its Time For A Massive Reset of Capitalism 3rd June 2020. The pandemic represents a “rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimaging and reset our world”. (Not Our World But Their World)

Harvard Business Review ‘Making Stakeholder Capitalism a Reality.22nd January 2020, spurred by Climate Change (Financing and Investing). As they report that ‘Larry Fink ‘BlackRock’, the worlds largest investor with $7 trillion in asset management. Reporting that his CEO’s received their annual letter “placing long term sustainability at the centre of his investment approach”, as the World Economic Forum kicks off the week as they update their manifesto, for the first time since 1973 saying “business must be the stewards of the environment, global supply chains referring to sustainable shareholders”

13th June 2019  (6 months prior to the global pandemic) the World Economic Forum and the UN signed an official partnership memorandum. This would give much more political clout and wealth for the UN to achieve its Global Development Goals of Agenda 2030. This being a trade off, as the corporations represented by the WEF would then be the whisperers in the ears of UN Agencies. The enabling of a One World Corporate captured Governance. In the wake of the COVID 19 Pandemic, transnational corporations sought to cement their control of the global governance, ensuring they served the interests of large businesses, corporations- for a very wealthy profit rather than the wellbeing of humanity

Transnational corporations are directly responsible for many global crises we face. As we view Corporate Capture in various forums throughout the world. This is a governance, the evolution of a parallel ‘privatized multilateralism’ made up of a myriad of ‘multistakeholder’ bodies.The World Economic Forum has developed, pushed for privatization of global governance for decade. The ‘Great Reset’ is just the latest of the gradual corporate takeover of global institutions, such as the UN and other international bodies, that take critical decisions over the governance of global common goods such as food, water, health, internet and others. Civil Society Groups in 2021 produced an open letter opposing plans for a Big Tech dominated Body for Global Digital Governance’ (Source of Information ‘Transnational Institute’)4

As for the churches supporting, ringing the bells in NZ, many have stated that “Christians have a particular duty to address the moral and human implications of climate change’. The Pope declared heavy criticism at climate deniers and delayers.  He called them “skeptics and irresponsible” (CNN 4th October 2023). However George Pell saw climate science as a dangerous religious dogma  (The Guardian 13th January 2023). The Guardian reported that Cardinal George Pell left a legacy of ‘climate science denial’ which meant in his later years he became more distanced from his position in the Catholic Church. Cardinal Pell, for decades in newspaper columns and speeches “popularized climate denial, dismissed global heating, branded environmentalists as hysterical and in the grip of a pseudo-religion”

In one 2011 interview with the Catholic media Pell said “In the past, pagans sacrificed animals and even humans in vain attempts to placate capricious and cruel Gods. Today they demand a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions”. Pell often announced that “Climate change was mostly natural and the science is not settled”. Professor Tim Stephens an International Environmental Law expert wrote that “ Pell was prolific, wrote many climate denial pieces. He said that Pell was “ caught up in the right wing cultural view of climate change being a hoax or a conspiracy”. Cardinal Pell died in Rome aged 81, he used his position as Australia’s most senior Catholic to forcefully reject the Climate  Crisis, the Guardian reported.

On the eve of the Paris Climate conference in 2015, the former prime minister Kevin Russ publicly challenged Pell, as Cardinal Pell was climbing the ranks of seniority in the Vatican. Rudd said “It was no small matter, that Pell was muddying the ethical waters with his radical climate skepticism”.But this did not stop Cardinal Pell criticizing the so called climate science”. Like all those real scientists whom publicly speak out about this Climate Alarmism, and the IPCC flawed, corrupt Assessment Reports, they are character assassinated, just as Cardinal Pell was. Public debate is soon shut down time and time again.

However Pope Francis in 2015 released his encyclical on the environment- Laudato Si- calling for global action on climate change to mitigate the risk of serious consequences for ecosystems and humanity. Forbes reported on 9th December 2020 that ‘Pope Francis with his Corporate Titans were to make Capitalism More Fair”.” Corporations to be Holier than thou”. Pope Francis’s virtual signaling to global populations worldwide. As he ignored the rest of society, jumped on the bandwagon of Lady Lynn De Forester Rothschild’s Corporate bandwagon. Yes, the pope spoke about the hundreds of millions of people in extreme poverty, he talked the talk but did not walk the walk. Pope Francis, the Vatican partnered with the Rothschild ‘Council for Inclusive Capitalism’ that boosts over $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with more than $2.1 trillion of market capitalization and 200 million workers in over 163 countries.

Members of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism’ calling themselves ‘Guardians’, these are top CEO’s of Corporations that include CEO’s of Mastercard, Dupont, Salesforce, Rothschild Inclusive Capital Partners, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, BP, Bank of America, the Rockefeller Foundation. These are the world’s top wealthiest elite. Key players of the World Economic Forum. The Corporate Capture of the World. Corporate Governance. Digital Governance. A One World Governance to control ALL populations worldwide. Those church bells that tolled up and down NZ in 2009, should have been ringing for Corporate Alarmism, warning the people of New Zealand what was about to come. Communist Degrowth. Destruction of democracy, democratic states, totalitarian.

The loss of the Free-market Enterprising economy- the freedom to choose. Replacing this for a Stakeholder Capitalism where peoples freedoms are seriously at stake. Today we have Eco Churches in NZ funded supported by Local Government. Auckland Council website that refers to the WEF data. Klaus Schwab ‘4th Industrial Revolution’. Where did the caring churches of humanity go? Earlier this year I emailed the main churches in NZ requesting a ‘day of prayer’ for those jab injured, jab dead” and zilch.

The World Council of Churches that have collaborated with Governments, Authorities on mandatory COVID 19 Jabs, and the implementing of Climate Alarmism. ECO-ANXIETY ON THE YOUNG AND THE VUNERABLE. I have incorporated my personal thoughts, and evidential information to share with you, for your response.

NEW ZEALAND POLITICAL CRONIES DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS

SUBMISSION” Man-Made Global Warming Is A Scam – Michael Davidson 2nd June 2015. Covering the following Contents:- Facts-how much the globe has really warmed in the last 25 years. Carbon Dioxide- a naturally occurring gas. Climate Change science-the inconvenient truth for IPCC. What’s really going on with climate events. The real agenda-redistributing the worlds wealth. Some historical observation in relation to popular opinions. Consequences for New Zealand. Concluding points to remember and Reference. Appendices.

PURPOSE OF THE PAPER INCLUDED: The Globe is not warming, contrary to widespread belief. Increased CO2 emitted from mankind’s activities is not contributing to or causing calamitous climate events. Man-made, or ‘anthropogenic’ global warming (AGW) is simply not occurring. Global Warming is a scam and a hoax, its being used to generate fear and panic, those behind the movement use it to control peoples belief’s and for financial gain. An uniformed and unquestioning mass of the world’s population have fallen victim to significant propaganda, causing widespread misconception. Global warming and climatic change campaigners, largely the United Nations Independent Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have mounted one of the most well funded, massive propaganda campaigns in history, and with a compliant media on their side.

There is a groundswell of climate realists. In the USA, the lies of Al Gore who has netted hundreds of millions of dollars advocating for global warming has been revealed, and the Gallup Poll, a widely recognized barometer of American opinion shows environmental concerns about global warming are now as low as they were 25 years ago. This paper collates information to show how the current levels of local widespread belief has come about, and provides clear evidence that the existing political agenda’s in New Zealand and elsewhere should cease.

PAGE 3 OF THIS SUBMISSION TO NZ GOVERNMENT PUBLISHED 2ND JUNE 2015..

  1. Fact-how much the globe has really warmed in the last 25 years (shows a graph) .. Global warming is not happening to any greater extent than it did for hundreds of years and has not occurred at all in the last 18 years. Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) is a world leader in processing and analyzing microwave data collected by satellite microwave sensors. The RSS mission to provide research quality geophysical data to the global scientific community. The RSS graph shows the consistency of the last 18 plus years of no global warming.

CARBON DIOXIDE: Is naturally 00.04% of air-400 parts per million (ppm). CO@ has increased from 350 ppm to 400 ppm in the last 50 years, but this is inconsequential given it has been as high as 7000 ppm of the earths air in the past. CO2 is produced by the decomposition of plant matter and released from the oceans and other natural processes including volcano’s.  Historically and for millions of years CO2 levels have been over 3000ppm and sometimes around 7000ppm. Ice ages occurred at these times, as did normal temperatures. The higher CO2 had no correlation to the planet’s temperature- life kept evolving as normal. The IPCC has flawed thing

Dr Patrick Moore founder of Greenpeace is now a climate realist said in 2013 “the optimal level of CO2 for plant growth is 1600ppm, four times than the level today” 400ppm is a starvation diet for plants and they die under 150ppm. In 2014 Moore said “This is why greenhouse growers purposely inject CO2 rich exhaust from their gas and wood fired heaters into the greenhouse, resulting in a 40-80 per cent increase in growth. The idea that CO2 is Zero and does not exist would be catastrophic, this is absolutely preposterous.

Furthermore, it is not conclusive that increased CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by man, it is more likely caused by other natural factors. Atmospheric scientist Murray Salby (2011) says of increasing atmospheric CO2 “The changes in CO2 track ocean surface temperature, not global carbon emissions. Burning fossil fuels is not increasing atmospheric CO2. Recovery from the Little Ice Age, driven by the Sun is causing the oceans to release CO2. It is temperatures driving the CO2 release, not the other way round. Just as it always has been. Salby has since been dismissed from Sydney University for making these statements.

UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD TO COPY THIS SUBMISSION BY COPYING THE TEXT BY TYPPING IT MYSELF. IT IS A 41 PAGE PDF. ALTHOUGH THE SUBMISSION CLEARLY SHOWS THIS WAS IN THE NZ GOVERNMWENTS ARCHIVES FOR SUBMISSION, IF YOU CLICK ON IT YOU WILL SEE THEY HAVE REMOVED IT FROM THE PUBLIC’S EYE.  JUST AS THEY SHUTDOWN ANY PUBLIC DEBATE ABOUT THE FLAWS, AND HAVE CHARACTER ASSAISINATED REAL SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS AND EVEN IPCC REPORT WRITERS WHOM HAVE DEVULGED THE FLAWS AND PREDICTIONS MADE BY THE UNFCC/ IPCC.

THEREFORE PLEASE EXPLORE THIS SUBMISSION TO PARLIAMENT BY: – Michael Davidson 2nd June 2015- Pdf 41 Pages

PLEASE IGNORE THE BRACKETS AT EACH END OF THE LINKED ADDRESSES PROVIDED:- IT IS OBVOIUS THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT THE PUBLIC TO VIEW THIS

THE CORRUPTION THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS OF PARLIAMENT. AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEM…

Do New Zealanders put too much trust in our parliamentarians?  I personally believe so, here is just one example and there are many more.

SCOOP POLITICS INDEPENDENT NEWS REPORT 7th May 2018 ‘ Clinton Foundation Gets another $5.5 million from NZ Taxpayers that is actually %5.5 million in NZ currency  this was for the year 2018/2019, This is also in addition to $8 million given to the Clinton Foundation since 2014 by  NZ Taxpayers. Yet the Clinton Foundation was under investigation by the FBI at the time it received NZ donations this is when Hillary Clinton was US Secretary of State. (Disclosed by the NZ Taxpayers Union). The Australian Govt had already cut ties with the Hillary Clinton potentially corrupt organizations. The documents confirming the funding were obtained under the Official Information’s Act. In 2017 the TaxPayers Union launched a petition to end taxpayers funding the Clinton Foundation, attracting 3,500 signatures. For a population of 5 million I personally feel far too many people have become apathetic and trust the NZ Parliamentarians.
