Climate change bullshit

Silly bint. Should have stuck to her guns and asked Shaw to provide evidence.

That what she meant to say.. .

" Until shaw replies to my letter, climate change is unproven"

who cares she was trying to hold Shaw to account.. it was never about the climate! .. in my mind

closer to the target than you think bro! 💪👍🤙

"before falling nearly 1 per cent under John Key and then rising 1 per cent in the first two years of Jacinda Ardern.

Sadly, having plunged dramatically over the previous decade, imports of coal quadrupled while Ardern was Prime Minister and the amount burned to produce electricity increased five-fold"

Some ideas-
last few years have been dry with lakes at low levels, remember a couple of years ago Taupo was at minimum levels.
Alot of consumer demand with not much new generation coming on line. Tauhara geothermal is due to come on line end of the year.
Quite a few Sth Is users requiring large quantities of heat eg dairy factories and hospitals used to have coal fired boilers, they have had their arms twisted to convert to electric heating which is a lot less efficient. 

It's important to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but resorting to name-calling, profanity, and rudeness is not productive or helpful in any way. It's important to engage in civil discourse and have respectful conversations even when you may disagree with each other's perspectives. Additionally, while it's true that there is still much to learn about climate change and its effects, the overwhelming consensus among scientists is that climate change is a real and pressing issue that requires immediate action. Rather than dismissing the research or the concerns of others, you should seek to engage with them and work together to find solutions to this global problem.

Your selection of specific findings in that report seems to have been cherry-picked and taken out of context to support your collapsing narrative.

Before continuing, I want to note that cherry-picking and taking findings out of context is a common tactic used by climate skeptics and deniers to misrepresent the overwhelming evidence of human-caused climate change. It's important to examine the entire body of scientific research and not just select pieces that support a particular viewpoint. That's the only way we can have an honest and informed debate about how to address this critical issue facing our planet.

Putting your quote back into context, the report states:

Nobody is arguing that trees are therefore bad for climate and should be cut down. Indeed, in most cases, their carbon storage capability easily outweighs their methane emissions. But in a world where corporations plant trees to offset their carbon emissions, we badly need to know if their numbers add up, or if they are undermined by the complex chemistry of trees and methane.

After reading that very well written report, (thank you for brining it to my attention), I will add that:

Trees have long been known to absorb carbon dioxide, but recent studies have shown that they also emit and absorb methane, a potent greenhouse gas. However, determining the net balance of a tree's methane emissions and absorption is challenging as it varies depending on several factors such as season, age, and location on the tree. Despite this, the role of trees in mitigating climate change goes beyond just methane emissions. They also help to store carbon, recycle moisture, provide shade, protect biodiversity, stimulate cloud formation, and cleanse the air.

While all trees emit and absorb methane to some extent, some emit more than others. Thus, in reforesting efforts, it's crucial to choose trees with a low methane footprint to minimize their contribution to climate change. However, it's essential to note that the benefits of trees in mitigating climate change far outweigh their methane emissions. The bottom line is that while trees emit and absorb methane, their role in fighting climate change is critical, and ongoing research is necessary to understand their complex contribution to the environment.

Continuing to support science and finding new discoveries is crucial in identifying which trees are best suited to absorb CHGs (greenhouse gases) and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Without ongoing scientific research, we may not have a clear understanding of the best trees to plant and how to optimize reforestation efforts to have the greatest impact on reducing carbon emissions.

As we learn more about the complex relationship between trees and the environment, we can make more informed decisions about which species to plant in different regions, taking into account factors such as their methane footprint, carbon storage capacity, and potential impact on local ecosystems. By selecting the right trees for reforestation, we can maximize the positive impact on the climate and biodiversity.

Moreover, science also plays a crucial role in developing sustainable land use practices and improving agricultural techniques to reduce emissions, protect ecosystems, and promote food security. By investing in science and encouraging innovation, we can make significant progress in addressing the global climate crisis and achieving a more sustainable future.
