Some of the recent climate change articles are getting rather nutty. They are talking about BBQ and gas cooking as if it was a bad thing, and in an article about housing, one author claimed that climate change would alter the housing market, by destroying houses in floods.

I still don't think anyone cares what those agencies have to say. Nz won't become a pariah over this.

When I was a gullible teenager I would have sided with the WWF, but since I'm an adult now, I realise it's a lobby group with an agenda, and they are just fear-mongering.
