It appears some individuals still choose to believe 99 per cent of the world's climate scientists falsify data on Co2 levels and climate change risk.
Apparently, a global conspiracy is funded by wealthy, powerful environmental groups and Green movements. No doubt the global financial crisis is part of a plan to de-stabilise the world economy too. Seriously, these groups do great work raising awareness of clean energy options and ways to protect environment and society from the greed of a few.
A global shift to renewable energy is happening; and a country like ours, with reputation for exporting innovative ideas, should be vying for a piece of the action. Let's be world leaders in renewable energy solutions, rather than mining conservation land. Let's grow a new multi-billion dollar renewable energy industry, focused on providing Kiwi jobs and reducing pollution.
If the scientists and tree-huggers are wrong, we've just helped future generations and made the world a better place for no reason.
