Climate Science and Policy
Understand climate science and the role of policy for transitioning to a low carbon energy supply.

Climate change has been identified as one of the world’s most wicked problems. However, most governments have been slow to respond to the challenge of climate mitigation and adaptation. This course will help you to understand the size of the problem and policy options that could start to make a difference.

You will be presented with the evidence as to why climate change is a growing problem for our society. Starting with early data produced from ice cores millions of years ago through to the latest thinking on the action required to address the problem, this course will equip you to identify key strategies for your organisation or government to implement a mitigation agenda.

Starts April 17, 2018
10 weeks, 8 – 10 hours per week.

    Record marine heatwave to ‘energise’ coming storm. 12 Jan, 2018
    
    The “marine heatwave” that’s engulfed New Zealand this summer made the Tasman Sea the warmest it ever had been for December.
    
    And now meteorologists say it could energise a storm forecast to hit the country early next week.
    
    At its peak, the La Nina-fuelled marine heatwave pushed sea surface temperatures to more than 6C above normal in some parts of the Tasman.
    
    Warmer water: good for pilots ending up in the drink!
    
    HEATWAVE TO ‘DAMPEN DOWN’ NEXT MONTH
    MetService meteorologist Lisa Murray said some the summer had began with waters in some places around New Zealand being 4C warmer than normal for that time of year. It had also had a big impact on some of the weather we’d seen so far in the season, she said.
    
    “Put simply; warmer water evaporates more which increases the amounts of water particles into the air, so when the water particles condense there is more latent heat released.”
    This latent heat was a key ingredient to lows deepening rapidly – or even explosively.
    
    “An example of sea surface temperatures contributing to the development of on intense low, was the low which caused flooding and coastal inundation in many areas including Auckland, Coromandel, Thames, Christchurch and Wellington in the first few days of this year.”

      Meanwhile Germany has abandoned its Paris agreed emissions reduction targets already.
      I note your link attributes the warmer sea temperatures to La Nina –a naturally occurring event , so it is good to see you are slowly changing your views WoO.

        Weather is “natural”; nobody disputes that.
        
        What human activity has done is cause Earth to retain more energy. This is well understood science. “Settled”. More energy means weather events can be worse.
        
        https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/jan/10/australia-had-third-hottest-year-ever-in-2017-weather-bureau-says
        
        Bureau says despite the lack of El Niño, Queensland and New South Wales experienced their hottest year on record
        The bureau’s annual climate statement released on Wednesday revealed 2017 was Australia’s third-hottest year on record, with the annual national mean temperature 0.95C above the average.
        
        It meant the 11-year mean temperature between 2007 and 2017 was now the highest on record, and seven of Australia’s 10 warmest years had occurred since 2005.
        
        Both day and night-time temperatures were warmer than average, with the maximum for the year the second-highest on record. Prolonged high sea surface temperatures led to the first instance of back-to-back years of mass coral bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef.

        Germany had a hiccup due to closing nuclear plants. Nevertheless huge amounts of electricity are generated by renewables, with much more in the pipeline. Some days customers are paid to consume electricity, so much is available.

        “In the past year alone, more than 2,000 employees in this sector have lost their jobs. Locations like Carbon Rotec in Lemwerder or Powerblades in Bremerhaven have been closed. The Hamburg wind turbine manufacturer Senvion had to go 660 full-time employees. Nordex , the second large wind power company based in the Hanseatic city, wants to cut up to 500 jobs due to eroding profits. And Enercon, the German market leader with more than 20,000 employees worldwide, recently announced “unpopular measures” to cut costs.”

Word is also out that they will be keeping their coal fired plants running as part of the coalition deal as well. I doubt we will be seeing any low IQ outrage from the international left over this.

  Any scientific article that uses the adjective “wicked” is best not read. By the way, how is the link between climate sceptics and paedophiles progressing? I assume you will have some robust statistical methodology in place, preceded by a lengthy literature review…..

    That doesn’t translate into a “link”, meaning cause or correlation, it’s just a common property.

  Meanwhile a Harvard law professor who is a Democrat and supported Hilary Clinton, warns this of the view on Trump from one (or maybe a handful) of America’s thousands of psychiatrists:
  
  “There’s only one thing worse than trying to criminalize political differences and that’s trying to psychiatrize them. These psychiatrists who are trying to diagnose without having even met the man. That’s what they did in Russia.”
  
  Psychiatrists did a brutal job in the Soviet Union.

    A number of countries have indulged in the political abuse of Psychiatry.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry
    
    The US has quite a history of smearing political leaders with psychiatric failings
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry#United_States
    It seems to be one of the major arms of psychiatric practice.
    
    Not much difference between a psychiatrist and a witch doctor, it appears.

  Meanwhile in NZ, the Hooerald joins the State TV network, TVNZ, in jumping on the “get Trump” band waggon.
  
  Today it reports allegations in the Wolff book as fact rather than allegations. For example:
  
  Michael Wolff’s explosive new book reveals how Ivanka Trump and her husband deal with Donald Trump.
  
  To the English-language media ,Trump is like one of those rubber dummies of bosses that Japanese companies reportedly once had for angry employees to batter with baseball bats.
  
  The journos feel that, villifying Trump, they can give full vent to their Leftism, without being held to account for being politically biased.

    Yes . It does seem like one long infomercial for ‘that book’ by TVNZ
    Always showing the book cover, multiple times, they even did a story at Whitcoulls- where you could ‘buy the book’ with more pictures of the cover again.
    Every day there is a new angle, and as there is no real visuals for that ‘strange written thing, a book’ so they show more pictures of the cover.
    
    No real mention that its really a very poorly written and un-researched ‘memoir’

It can only be good for the people and the economy:
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/01/12/paycheck-changes-new-tax-law-more-money/

The U.S. Treasury and the IRS on Thursday put out new guidance and withholding tables for employers that incorporate changes from the new tax law.

Under those new tables, the Treasury estimates that 90% of people who get a paycheck are likely to see more in take-home pay, as soon as February.

It is incredible watching the MSM foam at the mouth about Trump referring to places like Haiti and Africa as shitholes.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/100548913/why-most-news-editors-arent-censoring-donald-trumps-vulgar-language

He’s now got the entire MSM doing his work for him and arguing that the third world shitholes from whence the bulk of America’s immigrants come aren’t really that bad, thus tacitly making the case for deportation.

The man is a genius❗

        From the Gateway Pundit:
        President Trump went on a tweet storm Friday morning and said the reports of the language he used is fake news. It didn’t go down the way it’s being reported. Shocker!POTUS denied having said anything derogatory about Haitians. “Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust!” Tweeted Trump.
        “The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA!” Trump tweeted,
        CNN’s Fake Tapper admitted Friday morning in a tweetstorm that reporters twisted President Trump’s words. Imagine our shock!
        Tapper began with, “So how and why is President Trump denying the remarks that he reportedly said? I have some clarifying reporting from a source familiar the meeting. I want to start by saying that this does not make what he said any more acceptable, but it might shed some light on it all.
        The president did not refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country according to the source familiar with the meeting… though he DID say it about countries in Africa… What happened, the source says, is there was a conflation of two different remarks by the president,” Tapper tweeted.“First, when talking about “temporary protected status” countries as part of the immigration deal it was mentioned that Salvadorans, Hondurans and Haitians have that status.”
        ““Haitians?” the president said. “Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out” —- meaning take them out of the deal.” “Then in a separate part of the conversation when they were referencing the diversity visa lottery, President Trump referred to people coming from Africa as coming from “shithole countries.” Again, I’m not saying this is better. Just that this is what happened, per my source.”
        
        John Cardillo tweeted, “In this thread @jaketapper makes excuses for his anonymous source conflating statements, fabricating one, then attributing it to POTUS. This casts serious doubts whether or not Trump said any of this, yet Tapper is reporting as fact when he should be retracting until confirm.”
        Many are speculating that this ‘sh**hole’ story was drummed up to distract from Project Veritas’ bombshell undercover video exposing Twitter’s tactics to ban people who support Trump.

    See – even arguably the most powerful organisation in the world (The UN) are liars.
    
    They along with the various NGO acronyms spend their hundreds of billions of aid budget in these countries, decade after decade, because these countries are illiterate, don’t have clean water, little sanitation, low life expectancy and can’t grow enough food to feed their populations.
    
    By any any reasonable person’s definition, the above places are shitholes.
    
    But in these days of bedlam, accusing someone of being racist is more important than an honest reflection and stating the truth.

    It’s actually got very little to do with “racism”.
    These places really are “shitholes” sadly, because they are stuck in the dark ages.
    Someone said a country is judged by the way it treats it’s women and it’s animals.
    All “shitholes” treat their women and animals like….well, shit.
    Where half the population is effectively disabled (often literally), by being bashed and abused all the time, no such society will succeed.
    So they see the West doing well and they want to go there, not realizing that if they bring their “shithole” customs with them, they will turn the West into shitholes too!

  When Obama made a similar comment about Libya it did not raise a mention by the MSM.
  The whole thing is just a ploy by the Democrats to derail their amnesty plan which was not getting good ratings….mentioned by MSM no.
  Democratic Senator in a speech uses the term “Chain Migration”..not a mention, Trump repeats and he’s a racist and should lead the KKK.

    Vic Parking is right. The whole thing is a set up by the Democrats. That’s why minority whip Dick Durbin has gone on the record confirming Trump’s use of profanity and having vapours about it.
    First thing is that Lyndon Johnson used profanity all the time when he was president.
    Second thing is that the bipartisan meeting on camera with Trump and Republicans and Democrats went very well. It showed Trump in a good light and made real bipartisan compromise possible on the thorny subject of immigration.
    
    The Democrats can’t allow Trump to look good. So they have intentionally scuttled the meeting by saying that when the cameras were off Trump called Haiti a shit hole. And confirmed it on the record.
    
    The Democrats have intentionally decided to be the resistance and not cooperate with trump at all. They have intentionally scuttled the bipartisan progress for political gain. In the process they are quite happy to sacrifice the so called dreamers.
    
    They don’t actually care about the dreamers. If they did they wouldn’t be stirring up animus against trump. They are happy to sacrifice the dreamers for political power. All they want to do is bring down trump. Everything else is just commentary.

        All presidents swear in private.
        
        But this was formal meeting in the Whitehouse with a large attendance of legislators.
        It was intended to show Trumps ‘leadership’ but instead showed in the matters discussed , hes a clueless buffoon- agreeing to the democrats position which was contrary to his own.
        So was ‘reminded of his previous stance’ by the republicans, so Trump immediately reversed himself and agreed with them.

    Excellent recall.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson once told his special emissary to de Gaulle:
    “Ask fucking de Gaulle when he would like us to remove the graves of 60,000 American citizens from France.”
    
    The reference, paraphrased, was made following France withdrawal from NATO, and request that all foreign troops, including those from USA, leave immediately France.
    That question was put to de Gaulle notwithstanding the emissary’s objection to Johnson. de Gaulle did not say anything in response, but stood up and left the room, ignoring his questioner.
    Source: RUMSFELD, the emissary and the messenger of truth.
    The graves remain.
    Truth requires real balls.

      This discussion about Trump’s remarks ( which are verified) misses the point. He is probably right that Haiti is a shithole give Papa Doc and the earthquake as well as sundry hurricanes. He is probably right about bits of Africa, although describing the whole continent that way seems a bit broad brush. Equally he was wrong to use that term on the record as it makes him appear crude and ill advised but probably no big deal considering the other things he has said.
      
      The problem is that he asked why America was getting immigrants from Shit holes like Haiti, Africa and ( I think ) central American countries and not from Norway. It was not lost on anyone anywhere that the immigrants he does not want are black or brown and the ones he does want are white. The Charlottesville crowd hear untermenschen bad, aryan good.
      
      This does not make Trump a Nazi but it certainly gets him the support of those who are and it makes him more and more beholden to his “base”.
      
      America needs a President who can bring the country together and Trump could have been the man as he is not ideological . He is putting himself into an increasingly unpleasant corner.

        I’m not sure they are verified remarks. The original Washington Post article apparently quoted two sources who were not at the meeting. David Perdue and Tom Cotton , who were at the meeting don’t recall the remarks but confirm Trump called out the imbalance in the current immigration system.
        Who do you believe –those people who were there or those who were not? I think Scott @ 9.28 is onto it.

        Senator Insists Trump Used ‘Vile,’ ‘Racist’ Language
        By EILEEN SULLIVAN 2:03 PM ET
        
        Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, said that President Trump did use the term “shithole,” repeatedly, during a meeting on immigration — which Mr. Durbin attended.
        
        There are no credible denials of what he said.

        Reports of cannibalism were just stories made up to sell newspapers in Britain, and Maori had an excellent moa-breeding programme in place before brutish Pakeha settlers kidnapped and finished off the last poor moas.

Justine Sachs, letter writer to Lorde, describes herself as New Zealand “Jewish”.

Sachs does however advocate a secular solution to the Israel / Palestinian conflict – secular rather than Jewish as in Israel, or Islamic as in the cause of the Palestinians.
In writing to Lorde, discouraging her Tel Aviv concert, Justine Sachs did not admit this – that she in fact does not support the ultimate ambitions of either Israel or the Palestinians – advocating a secular solution is not acceptable to the Palestinians, despite her association with BDS suggesting she does support them.

A pity Lorde made her decision without waiting for any real background on either letter writer to emerge.
Or to find Ringo Starr will play Tel Aviv in the month that Lorde won’t.

    We were told she would be another two minute wonder but years later she makes headlines worldwide by cancelling a gig in Israel.
    
    Could those doing the telling years ago have once again been wrong?

    Don’t make me laugh, doggone. The Maori tribes said it about each other. The tribes hated each other, constantly fought, stole land off each other and then ate the people they killed. NZers have long been fed myths about the Maori, it’s about time the truth was told. Goodness, even the much rewarded and praised Ngati Whatua of Auckland stole their land off another tribe. Revisionist history to suit an agenda is dangerous, over time it is seen as fact.

      Ngati Whatua are just usurpers who stole Auckland off another tribe after beating them with superior weapons.
      Maori all know it and talk about it amongst themselves.
      They don’t talk about it in public because they need to present a united front to extract more dosh out of the Pakeha.
      But one day they will speak up and start suing each other.

  The toothfairy is pimping for the electronic media already.
  She obviously told them that they should report that she was “visibly upset” at J Anderton’s funeral. Carole Anderton is a smart and very likeable lady, Her late husband had none of the class of his father.

Canada’s Justin Trudeau has complained to the WTO about unfair trade practices by the “Trump Administration”. Tariffs on Canadian Lumber imports which Canada subsidies. They did this one week before they are due to start Trade negotiations with the USA. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Time for NIWA and the Met Office to loosen their grip on our weather and climate data.
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/348014/grip-on-weather-data-too-tight-report

Their data belongs to us – the taxpayers. It’s not theirs for funding grand ivory towers with big flash computers.

Release all our data or forgo our Taxes!

  That’s not the case in NZ . . . . yet, but when the revolution comes all data held by the servants of the people will be freely available.

Why should the taxpayer give away this data for nothing? It’s cost us money to collect. If some app maker wants to use this data to on sell to his clients, then they should expect to pay the taxpayer something for it’s collection.

  Well I agree.
  
  But the same can be said for everything held by the government. After all, it’s all official information and the ‘desperately seeking relevance’ types like Bryce thingy and the NZ Initiative Warby guy get all panty-waisted when they don’t get what they want and are campaigning that the taxpayers should foot the bill for everything they want immediately regardless of cost or the provisions of the OIA.
  
  The OIA makes everything a freebie, and one look at food banks or charities and we know what happens to freebies. The demand exponentially outstrips the supply, no matter how great the supply!

Slap an agreeable wife or girlfriend on the bum in public, often. #slapdownpc

Thanks to the New Zealand police and civilian government for not differentiating between women, most kiwi women are no longer much fun to be with in public, but relationships need fun to survive, and society needs to thrive; disagreeable women can always become lesbians, join the police, and deal with real cases of assault against females. There, it’s all fixed. 😎

This is what the rational and sane world is up against when one tries to tackle climate change denialism and many of their followers ,

“Conspiracy Theorists, Climate Change Deniers, & The Rejection of Science”

Research and publications about conspiracy ideation from 2012 and 2013 are newly relevant in today’s political climate. The US is led by a Denier in Chief who rose to power in part based on his strident trumpeting of conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth. He’s appeared on Alex Jones’s Infowars, conspiracy theory central in 2017. His followers believe things which boggle the imagination, including that some of the most respected news agencies in the world are leftist providers of fake news….

….The research shows a strong overlap between climate change deniers and conspiracy theorists, and many of them are happy about it. Not all climate change “skeptics” are conspiracy theorists, but belief in one or more conspiracy theories is a very strong predictor of denial of climate science, and denial of climate science is a decent predictor of belief in conspiracy theories…. “

  Yet Dr’s Barry Marshall and Robin Warren were pilloried by their peers for their theory that stomach ulcers are caused by bacteria. Despite strong empirical evidence and analysis their repeated attempts to publish and present their findings were rejected by the establishment as it went against the prevailing “science is settled” view. Today both are Nobel Prize winners and antibiotics are a frontline treatment against stomach ulcers.
  All science should be able to be challenged and no counternance to prevailing theories should be dismissed.

True love and romance wins out

This is such a heart-warming tale about extremely honest non-Manchurian candidate Huma Abedin and non-pizza loving pervert Antony Weiner – the family values glamour couple of the Clinton camp. They’re not getting divorced! Awww – sweet.

(Until of course you recognise that staying married would allow them to hide behind spousal privilege meaning they couldn’t testify against each other on the Clinton emails conspiracy).

Hmmm, perhaps.

Other alternatives:
* It was adequately designed, but the wrong materials were used.
* Shitty weld (it looks like it broke at the weld).
* It was tampered vandalised by three 120kg blokes hanging off it and trying to break it.

I see a line of people each with their own old IBM computer 50m high belching out ticker tape into recycling bins but as always a mysterious Voldemort figure supervising it all.

I hope dear viewers watched the programme on Afghan girls going to madrasa schools? Chilling, not a smile to be seen,childhood subjected to memorising the Qu’ran in Voldemort black robes. Holy shitholes.

  My secret ?
  The day before , I select background for stories that I think might make it on kiwiblog the next day.
  
  The rest, well plenty of stuff is recycled. After all, English language might have 250k words excluding chemical formula.
  Yet most people get by on 2k .
  I get by with about 50 verified background facts.
  
  But every day I find new but niche ones , eg Bill English is a balletomane- (thats why they got a funding boost but other ‘high arts’ didnt.)
  
  Of course fits with his real persona, a high art intellectual with degree in medieval literature, not the fake one as the farmer from Dipton. But you cant tell national supporters that, so I slap them around the chops with it as often as poosible- It works!

Surely you must have some interesting observations and viewpoints on the man, after all he’s been around for 40 years as NZ’s longest serving charlatan?

      In reality hes a harder worker than Key, who was notorious for delegating everything and I mean everything to colleagues and his staff. But politics isnt about building blocks, its about turning up. Hes the only one Ive met face to face and that was 20 years ago. He has a huge political skills which most dont have, eg English

        I can see Winston “works hard”, but that’s to attain personal power for the sake of it (and not for all). I wouldn’t class that as a positive (especially in comparison with John Key’s achievements obtaining international respect for guiding NZ through the GFC etc)!
        
        Anyway what’s Winston actually done for NZ that sets him apart from the likes of Key and even Clark?
        
        Go on admit it, you just like him because he has a machiavellian personality – just like you! Nothing more, and nothing else!

      Bullshit.
      
      Key himself said WFF was communist – and English then increased the payments……..the payments to responsible, reliable, healthy, educated – parents already in work! They aren’t single mothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      
      WFF is NOT a tax break if you then also don’t receive pay rises, it’s then a national liability – until the youngest child is an adult!!!
      
      Are you suggesting that businesses in NZ fail to pay their adult staff enough to feed and house their families – and Bill English is simply acknowledging that reality? 😎

        Oh, ok! Well they aren’t a 70’s heavy rock band …. but if they were an “alternative” opening act for a 70’s rock band I suspect even the serious head-bangers wouldn’t mind for a bit!

Thinking of Anthony Weiner ,

Lawyer paid $130K to adult-film star to keep quiet about alleged Trump sexual encounter: report

WASHINGTON – A lawyer representing President Trump arranged a $130,000 payment to a former adult film star one month before the 2016 presidential election to prevent her from discussing an alleged sexual encounter between her and Trump some ten years earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Will this liberal-Leftist voice stop the paid-circulation slide of the Christchurch Press?

An interesting name has cropped up in the Christchurch Press in a restaurant review that lambasted a restaurant for terms on its menu. Examples were “Wang, wang ten to cool” and “dumprings”.

The review is by Alastair Paulin, who is listed as a “news director” of the newspaper. His criticism has been backed by Dame Devoid, by multiculturists and by some sensitive Chinese.

Google searches indicated that Paulin held a similar post with Fairfax in Australia.

More interesting, he has held editorial posts with Mother Jones, the “alternative” American magazine named for a trade union activist. The “media bias” link below places Mother Jones well to the political Left.

It is published by the Foundation for National Progress, which is described by one internet source asa “network of independent journalism organisations, including local and regional news outlets, indigenous and ethnic media, and media representing communities of colour.“

Michael Moore, the controversial film maker edited Mother Jones for a short time in 1986. Moore fell out with the hierarchy, sued and used settlement mokney to finance his film, Roger and Me.

NZ Min of Foreign Affairs and Trade classifies countries with a choice of risks
extreme /high /some
example
Extreme risk
We advise against all travel. This advice usually applies to areas where there is conflict, warfare or ongoing violent civil unrest, or we have reason to believe there is a heightened threat to New Zealanders. New Zealanders in these areas should be aware of the limits on consular assistance that can be provided. The New Zealand Government may not be able to assist you if you are detained, injured, or otherwise prevented from leaving these areas. If you are in one of these areas you should consider departing as soon as it is safe to do so.

this IMO could be better identified by the Trump scale of warning:

We advise against the use of all toilets. This advice usually applies to rear areas where there are piles, rashes or ongoing violent eruptions and unrest, or we have reason to believe there is a heightened threat to the bottoms of New Zealanders. New Zealanders in these backward areas should be aware of the limits on providing 3 ply toilet paper and hands on consular assistance that can be provided. The New Zealand Government may not be able to assist you if you are stained, soiled, or otherwise prevented from leaving these toilets. If you are in one of these areas you should consider relief by farting as soon as it is safe to do so.

Here are some more gems from Google – the exemplar of the future workplace run by the Left:

7. ‘Discourage them all throughout the industry’
“If we really care about diversity in tech, we don’t just need to chase serial offenders out of Google, we need to discourage them all throughout the industry,” a lengthy internal post on Damore read. “We should be willing to give a wink and a nod to other Silicon Valley employers over terminable offenses, not send the worst parts of tech packing with a smile …”

8. ‘I will hurt you’
Damore’s memo prompted another employee to post this quote: “I’m a queer-ass nonbinary trans person that is fucking sick and tired of being told to open a dialogue with people who want me dead. We are at a point where the dialogue we need to be having with these people is ‘if you keep talking about this shit, i will hurt you.”

9. ‘Relies on crowdsourced harassment’
Google encourages employees to enforce unwritten norms by harassing and ostracizing those who break them, according to the suit, and by allowing employees to create “blocklists” on their communications systems. “[Google] relies on crowdsourced harassment and ‘pecking’ to enforce social norms (including politics) that it feels it cannot write directly into its policies,” the suit states.

11. ‘You’re being blacklisted…at companies outside Google’
Google manager Adam Fletcher wrote in 2015 he would never hire conservatives he deemed hold hostile views. “I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team,” he wrote. “Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit or technically excellent or whatever. I will actively not work with you, even to the point where your team or product is impacted by this decision. I’ll communicate why to your manager if it comes up. You’re being blacklisted by people at companies outside of Google,” he added. “You might not have been aware of this, but people know, people talk. There are always social consequences.”

Google is on a clock. Google is now an affirmative action vehicle where diversity > quality.

Ah Chicago – here is another example of the glories of leftist governance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB6h9R0I-aM

Here is Ted Kennedy in 1965:

“First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same…

Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset… Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia…

In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think… The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1209313/Ted-Kennedy-The-Senator-Sleaze-drunk-sexual-bully–left-young-woman-die.html

Ah, Ted Kennedy.

He left a young woman to die in a slowly sinking car he had drugged and picked up for sex, while he was married.

https://nypost.com/2009/08/30/kennedys-free-pass-with-women/

But he was very respectful and helpful to women’s groups.

Liberals are truly cancer.

    Nixon was bad because he let Kissinger send an aide to the Vietnamese governments saying if they ignored LBJ’s peace talks and kept the war going longer they could better terms under a Nixon administration. It cost 22,000 American lives and hundreds of thousands of South East Asians by prolonging the war.
    
    That was a Kissinger idea – Christopher Hitchens covered it in great detail in his biography of Kissinger.
    
    “The Trial of Henry Kissinger” – it’s a great book. Tough to read for a partial admirer of Nixon, but great.
    
    However in terms of breach of presidential powers and use of sabotage and espionage of opponents using executive apparatus Nixon can’t even hold a candle to even LBJ his contemporary, let alone the modern spawn of the DNC like the Clintons and Obama.
    
    Nixon taking the United States off the gold standard and Bretton Woods is why he can be criticised by history. He was 100% correct about communist subversion of US institutions, but he was the one who gave them the monetary weapon to implement their agenda.
    
    And here we are today.

And on a lesser scale … 
Mick Jagger – or Keith Richards – once called Invercargill the “arsehole of the world”. That depends which book you believe.
Stanley Booth’s The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones, first published in 1985, says it was Richards.
Bill Wyman’s autobiography, Stone Alone, from 1990 said it was Jagger.

Richards didn’t repeat the slur against the Southland metropolis in his 2010 memoir Life. Though he did have a go at its northern neighbour.”My God, there are some black holes … Dunedin, for instance … It looked like Tombstone and it felt like that. It still had hitching rails.

And whichever one called Invercargill the “arsehole of the world”, it is notable that the Mayor at the time, remarked it was “a pleasure to have them passing through”.

  Yvette, the legend is that young bloods in Southland went to the Stones concert thinking it was Country and Western, and ended up throwing pies at the Stones.
  
  Then a report popped up in a weekly paper (Truth perhaps, or Sunday News) about a mess the Stones allegedly left behind in an Invercargill motel. The paper headlined its report “the Rolling Rubbish Heap.”
  
  No wonder the Stones called Invercargill the arsehole of the world. “The Arsehole” was a nickname of British seamen for lovely Bluff, because if it was on the schedule it was the last port before heading back to Britain. Also, the Bluffies – fishermen, oystermen – sometimes had pub dust-ups with the sailors.

Trump’s alleged comment is now making people think about what the characteristics are of a shit-hole country.

Stefan discusses Miasma and Germ theory as explanations for the bases of sickness.

Then he compares different theories as explanations for the bases of unequal outcomes between countries.

Colonialism, Marxism (moral), environmental – miasma.

Versus intelligence (germ theory)

He highlights yet another paradox in left thought.

So they say ‘you can’t call a country a shit-hole, because that’s racist’ – ‘but you can’t send back refugees to that country because it’s a shit-hole’

(!?)

They’ve spent the last 50 years casting nothing but the most vicious castigation on western countries, but you can’t call Haiti a shit-hole because…reasons.

And he notes that the Clinton Foundation essentially destroyed the Haiti economy because it became a monopoly producer of everything – in between when it wasn’t abducting Haitian children off the streets to sell as se x slaves (he leaves that out so he doesn’t get taken off youtube).

Then he discusses how, just like in America where over $15trillion in net transfers almost entirely from net taxpaying anglos to non-net tax-paying minorities, hasn’t changed any of the measurements, and how similar transfer of wealth from poor people in the first world to rich people in the third world also hasn’t changed their outcomes at all, in any measurable way.

Then he talks about how in Canada they are told Canada has to become a majority foreigner country because they’re told they’re racist and that proves they aren’t. Except a study done half a decade ago shows that Canada was the least racist country in the world. India was the most racist country, by far. Then China very closely behind. Then the Middle East. Then Africa. West countries and south America countries with western legacies were by far the least racist countries, objectively.

So the left in Canada argues the least racist people in the world (Canada), have to import millions of the most racist people in the world, in order to combat racism.

(!?)

Then he compares Haiti vs the Dominican Republic and tries to find out the difference.

So the two schools of thought:

Environmental, moral (miasma theory)

– military incursions into Haiti – which there were.

But there were much worse into the Dominican Republic.

– White’s outside of Haiti are more racist towards Haiti then the Dominican Republic

Has nothing to do with poverty levels inside of Haiti.

The environment + evil explanation (the Miasma theory) doesn’t explain the phenomenon, although it does fit the Clintons’ raping Haiti pretty well.

So then he talks about:

Demographics (germ theory)

The Dominican Republic has a much stronger demographic legacy as a former colony then Haiti does.

Then he talks about the various amnesties provided by democrats to countries that suffered a natural diaster – Haiti, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, and rubbishes as an explanation for why those countries are shit-holes, but Florida isn’t a shit-hole even though it gets far more Hurricanes.

Then he compares those countries’ outcomes with Japan and Germany post war, and with Libya (where Obama said it was ‘shit’ but that wasn’t discussed by the “media”)

Ends comparing IQ:

Haiti – 67

Dominican Republic: High 80’s

Standard deviation difference – impacting your society.

The guy I think has had enough, because of this:

http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thehouse/why-the-governor-of-the-bank-of-canada-worries-about-your-debt-1.4372779/minister-says-300-000-new-immigrants-a-year-is-canada-s-new-normal-1.4375839

combined with this:

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2017/08/08/hate-laws-put-reasonable-limits-on-freedom-of-speech.html

and so much else, like this:

https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/06/05/new-law-allows-government-to-take-children-away-if-parents-dont-accept-kids-gender-identity

and this:

http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/05/11/fiscal-impact-of-whites-blacks-and-hispanics/

So the debate is starting to get into an edgy phase.

So the left would be very well advised to start modifying their views I think, otherwise this ball of politically incorrect empiricism caused by the left’s relentless attack on the west and exploitation of identity politics is going to keep on rolling

  https://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/06/05/new-law-allows-government-to-take-children-away-if-parents-dont-accept-kids-gender-identity
  
  “Michael Couteau, the Minister of Child and Family Services, and who initially introduced the bill, said that he would consider parental discrimination on the basis of gender identity “a form of abuse when a child identifies as one way and a caregiver is saying ‘No, you need to do this differently.’”
  
  He continued, “If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”
  
  The new law now requires a parent or legal guardian to “direct the child or young person’s education and upbringing in accordance with the child’s or young person’s creed, community identity and cultural identity.”
  
  The Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act of 2017 has also deleted previously established verbiage that allowed parents and guardians to raise their children under their own umbrella of faith.”
  
  So if you’re a parent in Canada who wants to prevent the child abuse of your child when there is a less then 6% chance they will still want to mutilate themselves as a transgender by age 18 is child abuse, and the state will confiscate your kids from you.
  
  They’ll also confiscate your kids from you if you want to bring them as a Christian and the state disagrees with that choice of religion. Because Islam is fine in Canada. Islam doesn’t pay any taxes, but it’s fine for them to raise the next generation of Canadian welfare recipients
  
  This is why Stefan is making these arguments.
  
  Can someone tell me, how does the above law not amount to a declaration of war by the state on parents?
  
  There is less then a 6% chance that a kid aged 4 who watches youtube for 30 minutes and takes the fancy of mutilating themselves and becoming transgender will have the same idea at age 18. For the genuine hermaphroditic and gender dysphoriacs, fine. But denying a 4 year old from committing child abuse against itself in an irrevocable decision that will most likely lead to suicide is child abuse?
  
  This is a purely hypothetical question that others are discussing in Canada, but when do people have to start killing government workers showing up to take their children away from them because they want to stop their 4 year old cutting it’s penis off or having it’s vagina destroyed, and want to raise them Christian, in what was a Christian country?
  
  At what point do the left stop?
  
  Interesting.

  Pretty boring stuff really Maggy. There has been no significant changes in the weather since we have been monitoring it. Every time something interesting happens we hear it was the worst in 80 years or so. Another words the weather is the same as 80 years ago.
  
  I wish we could see some change but we have a very stable system that self corrects back to a predictable base line.

    Read the report, have you RC?
    
    What about all those industries/businesses that are being held back from innovating because of the restrictive fees applied in NZ.
    (Appendix A, Section 2)
    Why is NZ so out of step with other developed nations?

More killer cars hurting innocent people…

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/100548349/five-girls-injured-after-car-crashes-into-wall-in-waikato

I love the language they use:

“Five girls (have been injured after the car they were travelling in crashed into a wall in the Waikato on Friday night.”

They were just minding their own business and the car just decided to drive into a wall! Poor sweet girls. 17 year old driver.

Well I guess that’s what you get when you let men design cars.

Come on reporters. Do your job. Lay the blame where it belongs: 17 year old driver who should not have had passengers (assuming for a second she has a restricted), hooning and lost control.

    When I heard that Donald Trump had said, “We need to stop Haitians and Africans immigrating from their shithole countries & instead be taking from countries like Norway,” it had me so upset that I nearly cried as I went to sleep last night.
    
    Because with our system we’ll never have a Prime Minister like him here.

        So far he has exceeded any hopes or expectations I might have had for the man. People, like him, who call a spade a fucking shovel deserve respect.

Yes the headline should have been.
17 yo girl injures 4 girls.
And
Police are laying charges against her and the judge will disqualify her from driving for life.
All hospital costs will be paid for by her or her family or the families of the girls.
But before we treat the girls in hospital the wall must be fully repaired.

  Manolo , Trump is simply voicing what you and rc are rattling around in your heads all the time ,
  
  ‘The Lowest White Man’
  
  “I guess Donald Trump was eager to counter the impression in Michael Wolff’s book that he is irascible, mentally small and possibly insane. On Tuesday, he allowed a bipartisan session in the White House about immigration to be televised for nearly an hour.
  Surely, he thought that he would be able to demonstrate to the world his lucidity and acumen, his grasp of the issues and his relish for rapprochement with his political adversaries.
  But instead what came through was the image of a man who had absolutely no idea what he was talking about; a man who says things that are 180 degrees from the things he has said before; a man who has no clear line of reasoning; a man who is clearly out of his depth and willing to do and say anything to please the people in front of him.
  He demonstrated once again that he is a man without principle, interested only in how good he can make himself look and how much money he can make.
  Yes, he has an intrinsic hostility to people who are not white, particularly when they challenge him, but as a matter of policy, the whole idea of building a wall for which Mexico would pay was just a cheap campaign stunt to, once again, please the people in front of him…”

    It’s all unmitigated bullshit.
    
    Obama was a community organizing parasite still paying off a mortgage in the middle of his presidency who got shit marks at law school but got given an affirmative action job as a very, very part-time constitutional law lecturer at the University of Chicago. Chicago is a steaming shit-pile of crime, corruption, illiteracy, innumeracy, welfare, and unfunded liabilities so I suppose it’s fitting Obama was there.
    
    Obama was not a professor. Obama didn’t have the brains or qualifications to be a professor. But he said he was a professor. That’s not a small thing. I’ve worked in universities.
    
    Obama said he taught constitutional law, but he didn’t. He taught one thing – rights, race and gender.
    
    In looking at university courses, the best way to find the courses that come with a free dole queue ticket and trip to the nearest glitterbox party are anything that has ‘rights’ ‘race’ ‘gender’ or ‘diverse’ or ‘sectionality’ or ‘jusice’ because as everyone knows, those papers are for retards, taught by retards, and containing, with the exception of some valuable historical material on occasion, only retarded post-modernist offal that no one reads except the people putting together speech laws and immigration laws.
    
    So Obama was an affirmative action rights race and gender guy, given a position at the University of Chicago because he was supposed to write a book on race, which he never wrote.
    
    He was too stupid to right his own memoirs – that was written by Bill Ayers.
    
    Obama taught that the constitution of the United States is an illegitimate bar to the ‘constitutions of power’ of community organizers, preventing wholesale coercive implementation of agenda.
    
    So keep denigrating Trump.
    
    What a loser that billionaire President is, he’s such a big fat stupid idiot loser that he somehow beat the democrats with their super duper smart-ness and candidate with a vagina, even though he was trying his hardest to lose, didn’t spend any money, had a staff consisting of his children, a media that laughed at him for years and has the IQ of one of the Haitians Clinton and the Obamas were kidnapping in Haiti. What an idiot.

      Up to that point I fully agreed with you but Trump is not an idiot. A genius he isn’t but how many of those succeed outside the sheltered walls of a university.
      
      Trump’s strong point is that he’s a manager & a pragmatist……just the bloke you want running a company or organisation you are considering dumping your life’s savings into.
      
      So far he’s made complete fools out of the incredibly foolish & biased media who are sworn to bring him down. By shitcanning petty, vindictive government regulations he has given hope & impetus to those who create America’s wealth.
      
      He’s slashed taxes & put up the “unwelcome” signs for the World’s flotsam & jetsam while gently introducing the corrupt UN to reality 101.

      University of Chicago sees it differently to you Upandcomer
      “From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a Professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.

        Even the Nobel Prize Panel, which is a pot-luck raffel for a certain people to tell themselves how high IQ they are, regrets giving the “Professor” the Nobel peace prize. Who killed more innocent people by drone then
        
        That prize sums up Obama perfectly.
        
        We all believed the hype, didn’t we. I remember seeing him and thinking he was perfection. Beyonce who whoever it was singing ‘at last’ by Etta James – wow, I wish I was Black, like Obama and Le Bron James.
        
        What did the low IQ little quisling, terrorist sympathiser and charlatan actually achieve?

        http://www.weeklystandard.com/no-country-for-burly-men/article/17737
        
        What did he actually spend it on?
        
        80% of the job losses were for men during the Great American recession.
        
        Female industry GAINED 558,000 jobs during that period, when 3million men went out of work.
        
        Obama promised ‘shovel ready jobs’.
        
        That really unsettled the feminists, who, taking a break from defenestrating transgender children with their non-science propaganda wrote Obama a letter saying ‘we need to re-build not only steel and concrete bridges but also human bridges”
        
        These groups formed a super-girl band called WEAVE– Women’s Equality Adds Value to the Economy.
        
        Their representatives (led by ‘Feminist Majority President’ Eleanor Smeal) met Obama’s incoming deputy director at the National Economic Council, and other’s of his aides.
        
        They did a ‘special interests group’ voodoo ceremony and called their gibs ‘human infrastructure’ – the exact economic non-necessity for America that had grown by half a million jobs, whilst male jobs had decreased by THREE MILLION.
        
        Here was the result:
        
        “Romer and Bernstein delivered “The Job Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan” on January 10. They estimated that “the total number of created jobs likely to go to women is roughly 42 percent.” Lest anyone miss the point, they added that since women had held only 20 percent of the jobs lost in the recession, the stimulus package now “skews job creation somewhat towards women.”
        
        Kim Gandy and the feminist purple hairs got everything they wanted from Obama, and more, billions and billions.
        
        $300 billion sent to the states was used mainly for health care, education, unemployment benefits, food stamps, and other social services.
        
        Not infrastructure.
        
        Not construction.
        
        If you break that $300billion down, most of it was racket money paid to liberal special interest groups who wouldn’t know a spanner if it asked for a sex change.
        
        Here is one interpretation of the result:
        
        “According to Chris Whately, director of the Council of State Governments, “We all talked about ‘shovel-ready’ since September and assumed it was a whole lot of paving and building when, in fact, that’s not the case.” At the same time, the Labor Department’s latest (June 5) employment report shows unemployment rates of 8 percent for women and 10.5 percent for men. “Unprecedented” is what Harvard economist Greg Mankiw called the new 2.5 percentage-point gender gap. “It’s the highest male-female jobless rate gap in the history of BLS [Labor Department] data back to 1948,” said Mark Perry.
        
        Obama was worthless. Utterly worthless.
        
        How much better could you personify cuck-worthless virtue signalling then to give most of the stimulus money you said you wanted to build infrastructure to feminist groups, representing industry that had grown by half a million jobs whilst 3 million men were out of work?
        
        I bet no one here reading this would know this.
        
        Because the “media” don’t report this kind of thing.
        
        You have to dig.
        
        Obama was a useless bastard. All that debt, and he couldn’t grow a beard.

      Upandcomer , your meaningless ramblings and bloaoted rhetoric compares to this ( and worth repeating ),
      
      “..Yes, he ( Trump ) has an intrinsic hostility to people who are not white, particularly when they challenge him, but as a matter of policy, the whole idea of building a wall for which Mexico would pay was just a cheap campaign stunt to, once again, please the people in front of him…”

        You’re right. I suppose my rhetoric needs high-heels. Like the Australian army – we wouldn’t want anything to be ‘booted’ as you put it:
        
        http://bernardgaynor.com.au/defences-pc-culture-finally-hit-six/
        
        Or US special forces – another Obama initiative.
        That’s really going to make the Chinese in the South China Sea laughing at Baizuo and powered by the Heavenly Mandate stop building their bases.
        
        Powerful:

        You can’t tell the difference between dialectic and rhetoric. But that’s okay.
        
        The wall actually is relatively cheap. $18billion. That’s a drop in the Ocean.
        
        I don’t give a shit if Trump is hostile to people who aren’t white (not that he even is). What he is hostile to is this:
        
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sGn6PdmIo
        
        Thomas Sowell explains why concerned big government people destroyed the Black Family.
        
        But we’re still fucking debating this because of people like you, and everything they were debating then has got exponentially worse for blacks.
        
        What are you supposed to do given this kind of official establishment rhetoric?

Islam is just about keeping immams in a job and keeping the people in their backward stoneage culture, so they wont or can’t wake up!

Just look around the world and see how most people have fun and enjoy their lives.

Muslim men are hypocritical scum.
I see them here in Thailand getting pissed everywhere all the time.They are hated by the Thais. They are rude, arrogant, ignorant and have no social skills. I watched one filthy maggot wash himself in a Bangkok hotel swimming pool recently so I gave him an earfull. He nutted off in his lingo then wandered off.
Filth.

In the 1980s swathes of forest in America were protected from logging to protect the spotted owl.

Now it seems that marijuana growers are killing them off, and with legalisation of the drug, the owl-icide will worsen.

  From Jack’s link:
  
  …..”the northern spotted owl and barred owl—are being exposed to high levels of rat poison from illegal marijuana grows in northern California.”…..
  
  Get a grip! When the marijuana industry matures & is no longer illegal there won’t be any need to grow in the owl’s domain.
  
  Expect instead paddocks of plants where climate allows or growing under lights in a factory setup.

Anyone who thinks this shit is all theoretical, trying being a straight fit white Australian and joining the Australian army:

I had a mate with a 97 ATAR who can run an 800m in 2minutes 10seconds and do 50 pull ups refused work at the Australian Army, maybe because of this

Youtube are awesome at free speech.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/4372177/youtube-accused-of-censorship-over-controversial-new-bid-to-limit-access-to-videos/

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/11/conservative-and-independent-youtube-channels-hit-by-censorship-and-demonetization/

It’s only fair.

Take this video, which is dreadful. It shows scenes from World War II and quotes people and presents graphics and religious insignia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjz-YRBZfG0&bpctr=1515827972

It’s really inappropriate – that’s why it got de-monetized. It has about 150k views, but it’s fair it got taken down. You shouldn’t watch it.

These videos stay up, and have billions of views:

https://steemit.com/pedogate/@sheilaaliens/daniel-tosh-exposes-pedo-youtube-channel-video-included

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/parents-beware-content-youtube/

Pedofile channels stay up, particularly ones watched by employees of Deborah Wasserman Schulz and dozens of Democrat congressman:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-07-28/imran-awan-subscribed-pedo-centric-youtube-channel-exposed-tosh0

Ah well. I guess I’m just not up with the Zeitgeist. It is where we’re being taken I suppose:

http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/belgium-to-lower-age-of-consent-to-13/

There is no relationship between rational choice theory which is the basis of the euthanasia debate, and this kind of policy.

But I guess it’s appropriate for Youtube.

Anyway fuck it.

Obama was the greatest President ever in the United States who created a magnificent Economy.

Obama was a professor.

Men can join the Australian army.

Haiti is a shit-hole because of racism.

The Dominican Republic is less of a shit-hole because it suffered less colonialism.

Chicago under liberal and African American administration is the best local economy in the United States.

Diversity is inherently good.

Google’s hiring practices are justified and fair given historical grievances and minority concerns.

Trump is an idiot who won the Presidency because of racist white people, who express view points for no reason, like sludge blurting out of a sewer pipe in the sea at Petone.

The answer to any problem is always more re-distribution, inter-sectionality, diversity, and cultural enrichment.

Ciao.
