Whereas the Labour party bears the greatest part of the blame for New Zealand’s decline into a lawless degenerate backwater, it is an unwelcome truth that the National Party has over time made its own generous contribution to this unfortunate outcome. Citizens are aware of the failure of the Nats. Even with such a disastrous […]
” Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant. Then it tries to silence good.” – Charles J. Chaput Jacinda Ardern portrays herself as a defender of democracy. This is a sham. Everything she learnt at the International Union of Socialist Youth was aimed at slowly extinguishing all other political viewpoints other than her own. How […]
Of course Ardern is most to blame. Followed by the vile propagandists who pose as our mainstream media. That said, the resistance to Labour’s Three (5) Waters bill from National and Act has been as weak as the liquid the legislation targets. The reality the legacy media will not reveal is that Jacinda Ardern and […]

If the answer to a problem is to TAX it then you know it is a con.
Look at Alcohol and Tobacco.
Billions of dollars in TAX and no change in smoking or drinking habits.
Has anybody noticed that despite the millions spent on stop smoking programs they never publish targets, or rates of smoking etc Zero accountability. The best product to help wean people off smoking, e cigarettes or vaping, is seen as a threat to not only big Tobacco but also Government revenue.
That is because it is a failed policy, much like road policing is to stop road accidents.
A huge success if it is about the money. And it is a huge success.

The Tax on Alcohol and Tobacco is pretty much an economists dream. its not about stopping people from drinking or smoking, its about making the users pay for the police and health services etc

Where does this graph come from? Like the sea level one this needs to be published everywhere but needs authentication.

I don’t know exactly. I got it off Twitter. I tried to find it outside of Twitter but failed. There are URLs relating to the data at the top of the graph.

Also CO2 levels in the bloody Cambrian period (half a billion years ago) have to be looked at in the context of the earth being a completely different place. http://www.skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=77

These may serve the purpose adequately:

ABSTRACT
There has been widespread investigation of the drivers of changes in global temperatures. However, there has been remarkably little consideration of the magnitude of the changes to be expected over a period of a few decades or even a century. To address this question, the Holocene records up to 8000 years before present, from several ice cores were examined. The differences in temperatures between all records which are approximately a century apart were determined, after any trends in the data had been removed. The differences were close to normally distributed. The average standard deviation of temperature was 0.98 ± 0.27C. This suggests that while some portion of the temperature change observed in the 20th century was probably caused by greenhouse gases [standard ideological requirement for articles of this nature], there is a strong likelihood that the major portion was due to natural variations.
