PRESS RELEASE FROM THE LIBERTARIANZ POLITICAL PARTY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Friday,
6 March 1998 4:54:08 p.m.)
New warnings
today that Auckland’s current power crisis is only a dry run for worse to come. Future restrictions
on industry arising from ‘The Green Dream Team’ will dwarf our current
problems, according to the Libertarianz Party. The Dream Team’s two players are
the Resource Management Act and the Kyoto Protocol: The RMA we know about by
now; the Protocol, signed by Simon Upton earlier this year, came out of a
Government talk-fest in Kyoto, Japan, and extracts promises that governments of
wealthy, industrial nations will ‘work towards the reduction of carbon dioxide
emissions’ - the inescapable by-product of the burning of fossil fuels.
Stripped of its worthy glow this means nothing less than a promise for the
reduction of industry!
“The greenies’
anti-development crusade reached its climax in this country with the RMA, an
act making the future construction of
necessary infrastructure (like power stations and hydro dams) virtually
impossible. The anti-energy crusade has reached its climax with the Kyoto
Protocol, promising measures to strangle our existing infrastructure (like power stations and industrial
plants). The current power crisis offers a precursor of what life will be like
as a result of these measures - together, these bureaucratic monsters will act
like a calicivirus on industry, and on all who depend on industry for their
survival; which means all of us," said Libertarianz Environment Spokesman
Peter Cresswell today. ”
“New Zealanders’ natural and
trusting benevolence allows environmentalists’ bizarre claims to pass largely
unchallenged. The bogus claims by self-serving, populist myth-makers have been
swallowed whole and are being used to camouflage a creeping socialism; the
pseudo-scientific, jargon-ridden utterances, and the carefully worded epistles
describing what ‘might’ happen (if they can only get their computer climate models to work properly) are being used to conceal
the dangerous lack of any real scientific basis to their claims. The Kyoto
Protocol, for example, rests on the fraudulent claim that emissions of carbon
dioxide are causing a catastrophic warming of the planet, and promises to curb
this ‘possible outcome’ by curbing industry.
“The environmentalists’
false claims for disasters that ‘might’ occur will be dwarfed by the disasters
that will occur if we continue to
blindly accept their rantings. You think that the loss of power to our
industrial capital for nine weeks is bad news? Just wait until the Dream Team
kicks in - you ain’t seen nothing yet!”
