Letters: Bill English and climate change

A reader appreciated a Hubbard's regarding Bill English and Green co-leader Meteria Turei.Photo/file

What a brilliant cartoon from Hubbard regarding Bill English and Green co-leader Metiria Turei. Precisely what I was thinking.

Consider one a teenage solo mum under pressure and others such as that batch of MPs on between $100,000 and $200,000 a year double-dipping on their accommodation allowances.

There were a number of MPs involved at the time.

Mr English (then Finance Minister), when caught out, said: "It wasn't a good look". Well, that makes it all right then? (He did pay back I believe).

Both were wrong, that's for sure.

The closing argument of Dr D. J. Barnes (Letters, July 29) is as follows :
"I think he might change his opinions because it seems he has read the works of a very limited number of researchers in this field."

Whether it's to do with climate change or anything else, does Dr Barnes really believe that a thinking person takes up his or her position according to the numbers who support it?
My limited life span of history indicates the minority can often come out right.
