Here’s the thing, you might persuade her more to your point of view by being more patient.

No. Its facts. Clean facts, not fiddled facts, that will persuade me one way or another.

Consensus, Dr Blah blah, etc….. fail to impress .

Debate/Disagreement/ criticism is part of the scientific method.

Anyone who wants to close down debate about unresolved scientific matters is resorting to the methods of the Dark Ages.

You counter argument with evidence…. not with appeal to authority , not with abuse , not with threats, and not with bribes.

Maggy. You’ll be waiting a long time for ‘facts’. Until the events unfold, I suspect.

The real problem is the growing population. Too many people. Climate change is a sideshow.

I still remember buying my copy of Erlich & Erlich: Population, Resources and Environment in the 1970s and worrying about how things were going to work out with World supplies of Phosphorus (or was it potassium?), precious metals etc, running out by the 2000s…

Somewhere over the last 10 years, I must have biffed it out, as I kept down-sizing my library. I wish I had it now..

Its extraordinary that we can still feed the World’s population…. but the bugs will sort things out one day…..

It will take a while before everyone on planet earth is shopping at their local version of pak n save. Can’t feed them properly now and likely never will. How many global citizens exist on shitty diets consisting largely of a bit of low quality slop ? And of course rooting land and water more and more to keep up with third world mass-breeding.

General TV: Reasons to loathe ocker copy schlocker ‘Kiwi Living’ . . .
(1) Miriama Combover and Mr Bean’s dead ringer and equally Mr Cool cuzzy Michael Van de Elzen. It’s like they rang me to ask who the last two people on earth I want to see presenting anything are – and then went ahead and got them both – hahahaha – well done !!
(2) It’s a re-hashed rip-off flat copy of the Aussie version. How original and uniquely kiwi (morons).
(3) And how about this one – one presenter don’t even fuckin live in NZ. (I wish you could hear my voice saying this) ‘I currently reside in Sydney with my fellow TV cretin and power couple girlfriend’. And his brother prefers to not live in NZ too. Maybe a better rating show would be ‘Kiwis who voted with their feet shuffling off to Aussie for the foreseeable Living’ ? I’ve got a segment for that programme – good places to bin dive when they lose their job.

An all to familiar pattern:

http://davidduke.com/white-girl-brutally-attacked-by-four-black-men-zio-media-wont-mention-race/

Policeman shoots dead a criminal, all we here is “blah blah blah WHITE WHITE WHITE”.

When the roles are reversed ( a white person is more than 200 times more likely to be attacked by “coloured” people than vice versa) all we hear is “Thugs, youths or this new one “cat callers”
