    To put this into focus for you...Todays greenie environmentalists are tearing down forests to put in wind turbines with a shelf life of 20 years where upon the blades on those turbines will require replacement...So by the time they have paid for themselves in electricity generation you may be lucky to get 8 years of profit from them before having huge repair costs...They want huge solar farms which create something called a heat island above them due to the suns radiation being redirected back up into the atmosphere...These heat islands effect the local weather patterns thus making the whole climate change agenda more acceptable....Its a self fulfilling prophesy and its a one way bus to Communism ultimately...By the way a large solar farm was recently destroyed in Nebraska by a hail storm.

    @peterlattimore6013 they fail to realize the earth has had multiple ice ages. Meaning on multiple occasions. The planet has warmed up melting all the ice. Then cooled down, freezing everything again. Then warmed up again melting everything. So on and so on. A little research would show the last ice age was not all that long ago in the cycle. Meaning we should be nearing the middle of that summer cycle. Next will be autum. We won't experience that as our great great great grand kids would of died of old age before then. Still another 5000plus years till we hit the peak of the next ice age. Edit. For reference. We have a ice age every 100,000 years. The 10,000 year one was an example to make it easier to explain.

But if i liked the train, I'd need enough ppl to also want to take the train to oay for trains, but not so many that i give up and just walk.

I’d been wanting to buy the new 6.2l V8 Chevrolet Silverado truck but I couldn’t justify the expense. Then Jacinda came out and said she was going to tax the shit outa new utes. Well, between JA and the Restore Passenger Rail protesters, I finally made a decision. I brought one. God I love it. 2 years on now and not once do I regret buying the Chevy. So thank you protesters and JA. Without your self indulgent whining and desire to rule my life, I would never have brought one.

    As the population of New Zealand grows, so will the need for improved passenger rail services become more urgent and will provide a preferred choice of travel. Turkeys like James Cockle and the Children's Party (Greens) are doing enormous damage to the public perception of the need for a positive attitude to investment in the passenger rail sector. As to climate change, I experience four changes of climate every year!

    Hi, I am so pleased I promoted NZ First to so many people, my feedback from them is very positive about the coalition and its competent agenda. Attention Deputy Primister Winston Peters. I wish to push my agenda on the Marsden Point rebuild as we need our petrochemical production if we are going to be a first-world country. All food in our supermarkets and roading has a fossil fuel element to it. I would push for China to be the contractor in this endeavor as they have a successful professional and proven track record of quality infrastructure projects internationally, on time, and within budget. We need a sober view of China's human rights issues that are falsely claimed to be by Western propaganda. China respects the sovereignty of all nations The US bombs and China builds! China wants to trade not war and will be the dominant economic superpower. There are over a thousand petrochemicals we use unknowingly. Historically, the destruction of Marsden Point was a politics of tyranny.

    I agree with Sean about how unnecessary it is to vandalise cars but how easy is it to label all ‘greenies’ as idiots. Climate change is not some sort of conspiracy theory. Sean should search the definitions of climate and weather. They are literally two different things. Climate changing is not ‘the weather’.
