		<description><![CDATA[I have received a copy of a confidential Cabinet briefing paper obtained under an Official Information Act request. It was prepared by Nick Smith as Minister for Climate Change Issues before his resignation. The paper sets out proposed amendments to the Climate Change Response Act 2002 and the ETS. It begins by stating the Minister&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The NZ Climate Science Coalition has lodged its submission on the government&#8217;s proposed amendments to the Emissions Trading Scheme. The submission is unemotional, even subdued, yet it makes compelling reading. Readers of the Climate Conversation Group will not be surprised to [...]]]></description>

The headline promised to test the market on &#8220;renewables, smart grid, Huntly retirement, Brownlee reforms&#8221;. Some folk saw &#8220;Huntly retirement&#8221; and took it to mean the station was about to be closed. Understandable, but that&#8217;s not the case. The first clue was in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oil prices have been falling for six days [see oil price widgets in right margin]. The dire European economic crisis is part of the reason, since economies in trouble buy less oil. In addition, oil production has been raised to bring the price down a bit in a controlled fashion.

No, they don&#8217;t like this at all. Well, many sceptics don&#8217;t like it either — it&#8217;s the raw, bleeding, white-knuckled edge of hostility. It simply points out what is true: that some [...]]]></description>
