The Climate Science Coalition is the last of a dying breed; a rabid, climate change denying lobby group. Of late, they have been performing a desperate, last-ditch attempt to slow the introduction of a carbon trading scheme. And, now, it looks like they’ve received some heavy-weight support in the form of the venerable Flat Earth Society:

    I know it’s off topic (and for that, I apologise) but I thought we were getting our Prime Minister answering our hard questions today. Is that still happening?

    Yeah we’ve had a bit of trouble tracking her crew down – Steve’s been following this one up so he might have some more detail.

    Some interesting insights from MAF

    New Zealand can reduce its reported emissions by increasing imports;

    New Zealand’s industries can move domestic production into countries with weaker environmental legislation or no reduction commitments; the “pollution haven hypothesis’ also called carbon leakage.

    A country with emissions intensive exports based on its natural resource endowment will face tight restrictions on future growth.

    Finally, emissions from international transportation are technically not allocated since they do not occur within a countries political jurisdiction.
