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.

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.

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.
