I don’t think there’s too much to love about Hone.
If ever there was a reason to dump MMP, here it is.

Thanks, you’ve just disproved any link between CO2 levels and sea level. If there was a link, much of the surrounding neighbourhood where I live would be under water right now.

Are you saying that the present levels of CO2 will lead to sea level rising to between 3 and 5 metres higher than present? If you’re serious, do you have a reference for that proposition?

For some real perspective, last time carbon dioxide levels were at current levels, sea level was between 3 and 5 metres higher than now. That would permanently flood all the liquefaction prone parts of Christchurch, most of the tsunami hit area of Japan, and every other port and estuary. That makes a few years devastation to small regions look completely insignificant in comparison. That’s what we can expect without adding any more greenhouse gases, and without considering some other effects that could be even more serious.

The long term economic damage to the country from the quake hasn’t even started yet. Many people won’t be coming back to ChCh after this.

Update, $20bn. Climate change is nothing in comparison. An earthquake did $20bn damage in 1 minute and people are worried about something that MIGHT happen over the rest of the century. Time for some perspective.

Earthquakes trump climate change hands down.

143 dead and rising, NZ$10bn damage.

All right now – not in 2100.

I had a call from a friend in Canberra, checking on how I was after the earthquake.
His wife works for the Green party. They are having an all expenses paid trip to London, spouses included.

Who says that crime doesn’t pay?
