Climate Capture and Cost

I was talking to a friend about the weather cycle we are currently experiencing  . 

The perspective of weather and its connection with climate is something missing in many discussions about weather events . 

The man in the street is bombarded with  never ending reports that mention climate change in a mantra that has had a devastating effect on decision making to the extent that capitulation and pick pocketing of every ratepayer , in the name of emissions , has rendered the population comatose in response.

Perspective is lost because of this media manipulation .The population is convinced the taxes they increasingly cough up for 'climate change' are necessary to stem the tide in a Canute like act .

In Parliament today questions and discussions relating to recent weather events revolved around emissions and climate change.

There were suggestions that the Government can magically stop these weather events if only they built more solar farms and windfarms.

Building these environmentally damaging power generation areas because they may produce less carbon emissions than burning coal is going to cost the tax payer and the ratepayer massive amounts of money .

New Zealand should be learning from overseas experience that it is folly to pursue this path.

It is so hard to sit and watch MPs smugly comfortable in their leather chairs , nodding in tune to the emissions beat.

As we listen to 'state of emergency ' calls in many regions following the path of the rogue weather system there  are many questions to be asked about long standing infrastructure that has failed or may have  been inadequate ..

I fear ratepayers are going to be fleeced to a higher level as the climate change taxes expand and the true cost of protection is distorted in the extortion.

It is truly a challenging time to be a resident and a taxpayer as this weather cycle occurs.
