Message | Deforestation is a serious issue, tree's provide avenues which help to keep Global Warming from reaching alarming levels through a Carbon Capture scheme. I urge all parties to say no the the proposal of Article 2 to keep the best interests of our environment in our political standards. If Article 2 was to pass, I would again urge the change of Article 4 to require trees to be replanted. |

Message | And the left wonder why ordinary folk despise them - because they speak such complicated rubbish! |

Message | Complicated Rubbish? It's science. Tree's are an essential part of keeping C02 levels down. Judging by your reaction to recent comments, you clearly need to look further into proposals before putting them into vote instantly. |

Message | Science isn't something to be taken literally - it isn't the truth. You sound like religious fundamentalist extremists worshipping anything that comes out of the mouths of spectacled geeks wearing white cloaks. |
Date | 17:11:32, May 15, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Forestry Bill |
Message | Liberty agree with our friends at FPBB. Science is a journey not a destination. It's a wheel that never stops turning and asking questions of its own previous conclusions. Not about "settling" on conclusions which satisfy the political ideology of the day. Settling for conclusions and defending them regardless isn't science. It is dogma. Liberty will not support any legislation on the basis of the fear mongering generated by the "climate change" scam. |
