If inequality driven by the top 1% drives crime, why have US murder rates fallen so much @AndrewLittleMP? @sst_nz

Sum total of @jamespeshaw’s knowledge of the cost of #globalwarming after one year in office! @EricCrampton

I drew a blank when I asked a year ago whether the minister for climate change knew the cost of global warming to the New Zealand economy as a percentage of GDP. After one year, the sum total of his knowledge of the cost of global warming as a percentage of GDP is a passing reference in the Zero-Carbon Bill consultation documents.

From page 34 https://www.mfe.govt.nz/sites/default/files/media/Climate%20Change/Zero-Carbon-Bill-Economic-Analysis-Report-FINAL.pdf

The only information he has on the cost of global warming as a percentage of the GDP of New Zealand is information I supplied to him.

NZ has the most deregulated labour market

Will @jamespeshaw fund a study of cost of global warming to NZ as % of GDP? Is he afraid of the answer?

Steve Keen lost a bet in 2010 with Rory Robertson about a 40% crash in Australian housing prices. The loser of the bet, which was Steve Keen, had to walk from Sydney to Mount Kosciusko, a mere 200 km, wearing the T-shirt as shown below saying “I was hopelessly wrong on home prices! Ask me how”.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
