    Well there you go. Dickbot takes his AGW scientific guidance from cartoons. Hardly surprising.

    Given that even the AGW orthodoxy accept there's been a pause for the last 17 years, your cartoon is obviously a load of shit.

    Perhaps you should have read the comments below it before mindlessly accepting this cartoon drivel, Dickbot.

    The comments are good, aren't they? Every attempt by the
    climate-change deniers to poke holes in the graph methodically
    demolished.

    Only in your mind. The chart bears no resemblance to reality and completely omits the widely accepted warming hiatus.

    But you just go ahead believe whatever suits you, Dickbot, if it makes you feel
    better.

    It is an accurate description of a few posters to this group, Allistar
    - JohnO and geroge increasingly engage with the "Nat-bot" tactics of
    deny, distract, ignore, minimise, and personal attack combines with
    selective deleting of previous posts to change context. Pooh was a
    poster that had descended into near mindless drivel; thankfully I dont
    see him as often as previously - JohnO and george and at times others
    use those tactics more often when they have no reasonable argument in
    support of National. It is certainly mild compared with the abuse
    peddled by the "Nat-bots"from time to time.

    Make up there own mind of course - influenced by their past and that
    of others they know - I suggested the options deny, distract, attack
    the messenger - doubtless there are others, but another reply suggests
    attack the messenger wqas on the mark for that person at least.

    I don't see too many out and out National supporters here. I see many that >are opposed to Labour but that's more a reflection of NZ society than >anything else.

    I don;t know that you can class all who have a first preference for
    another party as being "against" any particular party - supporters of
    The Green Party may still prefer Labour to National for example.

    Posters to nz.general are too small a sample to necessarily represent
    anything in relation to New Zealand as a whole.

    Now wait for the deny, distract, attack the messenger. What will the

    I don't see any connection between climate change denial and the National
    party.

    Oh Nat spin is on your side, Allistar. National say the "right"
    things, but the real test is what they do. They say they are going to
    meet emission targets - but only by 2030. What they have actually done
    is leave farming out of any emission requirements and our actual
    results have got worse. They are "gunnas", not "doers"- they are
    always "gunna" do something long after their term in government has
    expired. Just think about NZ Super - that's 2040! Real Nat-spin
    distracts from reality by promising a better future - just not this
    year, or next year, or even for 8 years! - but if you believe the
    Nats, its gunna come for us all - its just that _this year_ - whatever
    year you think of, its the turn for shareholders (including overseas shareholders, and the wealthy - but they are believers! Its gunna
    happen! And Nat-bots actually believe them . . .

    Do you ever get dizzy Rich? Considering the amount of spin you do in
    here for such stupidity's as the blind beliefs of Labour/Green I'd be
    surprised if you could walk in a straight line.

    Are you suggesting that the National party have policies of climate change denial?

    Are you saying that if a political party holds a particular view then all of their supporters must also hold that view?

    You have still not made any connection between the National party and
    climate change denial.

    What's with the pejorative term "Nat-bot"? Name calling is what children in school grounds do, it's not a strategy for reasonable adults.

    Allistar you forget Rich is like so many of those who support
    Labour/Green mindless sheep who're incapable of any thoughts not
    pre-approved by the party. I.E.: A good widdle marxist muppet.

    Are you suggesting that the National party have policies of climate change >> denial?
    No. I am saying that they do not deny it, but that is meangingless in
    the face of their higher priority to plunder our future for short term
    gain to their mates. Where are their actions (as distict from
    asserted belief) in any way inconsistent with climate change denial?


    How is Nationals need to borrow to pay for Labours unaffordable policies Nationals fault? And if you weren't such a mindless marxist muppet
    believing every lie that issues from your great a glorious Labour/Green
    party you'd comprehend this.


    Are you saying that if a political party holds a particular view then all of >> their supporters must also hold that view?
    No - what a strange idea!


    Hardly strange considering how you blindly follow the Labour/Green line
    without any deviation Rich.

    You have still not made any connection between the National party and
    climate change denial.
    They say one thing that their actions are inconsistent with - do you
    care more about rhetioric and spin than about real actions?


    Why not Rich? After all you care more about Labour/Green spin and
    rhetoric than about real action.


    What's with the pejorative term "Nat-bot"? Name calling is what children in >> school grounds do, it's not a strategy for reasonable adults.
    It is an accurate description of a few posters to this group, Allistar
    - JohnO and geroge increasingly engage with the "Nat-bot" tactics of
    deny, distract, ignore, minimise, and personal attack combines with
    selective deleting of previous posts to change context. Pooh was a
    poster that had descended into near mindless drivel; thankfully I dont
    see him as often as previously - JohnO and george and at times others
    use those tactics more often when they have no reasonable argument in
    support of National. It is certainly mild compared with the abuse
    peddled by the "Nat-bots"from time to time.


    Rich you describe yourself to a 'T' yet again. On top of which you
    attack another poster with lies and bullshit! Besides which those you've mentioned have never supported National past admitting they're a better
    choice than Labour/Green and not the only choice for Ne Zealand that you believe Labour/Green are.

    Oh btw as usual you've made a typically stupid lie when you claim you
    don't see as many post from me. But that could of course be because of
    your inability to remember what shit you posted ten minutes ago :

    Besides the cartoon is typical of the misinformation coming from stupid stalinist sots like you Rich. Yup people who don't so much have a narrow
    view of the world and how it works as people who peer through a slight
    crack and make typical misinformed posts like this one.

    Why? It's only stupid Stalinist sots like you Rich who can't comprehend
    that this is a fact about the planet and has been since it first got a
    climate.

    I'll always attack stupid marxist messengers like you Rich because
    you're a comprehensionless, stupid marxist muppet who blindly parrots
    the crap that Labour has programmed you with and will till you stop
    lying, attacking, messengers and making shit up.

    Well there you go. Dickbot takes his AGW scientific guidance from cartoons. Hardly surprising.

    Given that even the AGW orthodoxy accept there's been a pause for the last 17 years, your cartoon is obviously a load of shit.

    Perhaps you should have read the comments below it before mindlessly accepting this cartoon drivel, Dickbot.

    The comments are good, aren't they? Every attempt by the
    climate-change deniers to poke holes in the graph methodically
    demolished.

    There ae other interesting articles on the site - just explore: http://grist.org/science/

    BULLSHIT! All the site does is echo your mindless and narrow-minded
    attitude towards those who think rather than iterate mindless marxist
    drivel like you do Rich.
