Federated Farmers president Don Nicolson has come out on the attack against the Greens co-leader Russel Norman for the “most bizarre notion” that climate variation was new “that it is unique, unparalleled and frightening”.

Keith reports that “On Q&A on Sunday, Nick Smith claimed that Greenpeace’s campaign for a 40% emissions reduction was unaffordable, and cited a report showing that it would have “a cost of about $15 billion per year at 2020″, or $60 per person per week.
This is catastrophically bullshit. The report cited by Smith wasn’t even about emissions reduction!”
Keith loves his facts and figures. You can find him keeping politicians honest over at Publicaddress.net.
