CLIMATE VOTER

Climate Voters suffering from a bad case of sunstroke
Members of Parliament were asked to leave a public launch meeting of Climate Voter in Auckland, New Zealand yesterday.
The world would be capable of
producing more food, if this
was the average world temperature
This raises the immediate question of how denying entry to the people most able to help a cause, will help that cause. Is this a case of political naivety taken to the extreme? It makes me think that climate change is certainly real, but is localized to the area of political wetness behind Climate Voter ears.
When the un-elected are able to eject the elected, democracy is under threat. Is is just a short step from there to revolution, anarchy, chaos, economic collapse, wholesale poverty and all out war. Then there will be some heat.
The Climate Voters appear to believe in some form of democracy, otherwise they probably would not have ‘Voter’ as part of their name. But they claim that the elected representatives have let them down. Well, that is highly debatable. Many voters will say that Parliament has gone too far on climate change issues.
Perhaps a balanced approach does not suit the Climate Voters. Yesterday they signed up 300 members in 30 minutes and now, as New Zealand’s newest minority, they want everything done 100% their way. To them, the majority should no longer have a say.
Tornadoes did not
start with the twentieth
century
I’m not surprised to see Greenpeace associating themselves with Climate Voter. It all sounds like good old-fashioned green policy. But when they have recovered from their sunstroke they may also come to understand that ‘green’ also means something that has not arrived in perfect condition as well as immature, unskilled, lacking sound judgment, inexperienced, gullible, raw and unrefined.
If the world is getting warmer then a remedy may well found by Climate Voters all taking a quiet lie down with a cup of iced tea.
