		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity.[1] Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.&lt;/i&gt;

I believe it comes from the movie Gaslight, MGM (1944) starring Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, where a man tries to convince his wife she is going crazy by moving things in their house etc. He is really a murderer returning to the scene of his crime searching for jewels.

Steely Dan have a song based on on &#039;gaslighting&#039; someone called Gaslighting Abbie.

		<description><![CDATA[She was tired of everyone thinking that blondes were stupid, and she didn’t like all these jokes. To end the injustice, she decided to prove to the world that she was smart. In order to prove herself, she chose to memorise the capital of every American state.
It wasn’t an easy task, but she was determined and eventually managed to do it.
A few days later she was in a bar, and heard a couple of men laughing at a blonde joke. This was the perfect opportunity to start righting all the wrongs that had been done to blondes in the past – she would set these men straight!
Marching over at a rapid pace she announced, “It isn’t true that all blondes are stupid, and I will prove it. Just ask me the capital of any American state, and I will tell you what it is.”
Although a little surprised, the men did challenge her and asked, “Ok, how about Arizona?”
The blonde, after pausing for a moments thought, proudly gave the answer,“A”!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear dear right now I read your entire Link,

In the vain hope that one of you nutters can debate without telling porkers.

you claim your link
&quot;shows Even if CO2 levels continue to rise at a linear rate, the increase in radiative forcing as calculated by NOAA is only enough to raise the temperature by a degree C per century.&quot;

Nope does not say that in your link no reference to temperature increases of one degree C like you say
No, not their, nothing, nil, Nada, void ,empty, content less.
Someones telling porkers again. 
  
It does have this
 http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/aggi/aggi_2012.fig3.png
pretty picture that says radiative forcing has increased 40% since 1990

If sane person was to state the increases in warmth from  the modern state of the science predictions 
They would give 2.5 to 4 degrees C this century
Not make up silly lies like a nutter.

Still nutters dont need reality from outside their heads. its all in the voices that talk to them
Their invisible anti climate change friend :lol:


I see kea could not resist a squawk 
The sun is what warms the climate squawks the climate scientist dont know this 
so why dont you ring them up and tell them
I am sure that they have not noticed the big red ball :lol: 

Nutters :lol:
Who needs pot when you have nutters and their brain farts for fun.]]></description>

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity.[1] Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

Should the Government make, as part of issuing large IT contracts to USA companies, a condition that they abide by NZ tax rules, not the Cayman Islands or Luxembourg tax rules.

		<description><![CDATA[Agw and whales going all green on us right now

Can we send you whales to England there cows are a little bit wet and whales like the wet

&lt;blockquote&gt; According to the Met Office just under 2in of rain is needed to fall before December 31 to make this year the wettest on record for Britain overall. The country saw 1,291.2mm (just under 51in) of rain between January 1 to December 26, compared with the wettest year on record, 2000, when 1,337.3mm (just over 52½ inches) fell.

A new record has already been set for England with 1,095.8mm (just over 43in) falling between January 1 and Boxing Day.
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dont you hate climate extremes like the alarmist keep forecasting of course they are wrong and they just make it up

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jan/08/hottest-on-record-2012-america
&lt;blockquote&gt;Figures show 2012 was a full degree Fahrenheit hotter than 1998 record – and scientists say they expect more of the same&lt;/blockquote&gt;

when will they stop lying about climate change its not going to happen its a big conspiracy

Not likely. Some of them would for sure - in fact some of them are revolting (or trying to) now, for example at The Standard but they are only one faction of the party.

But Shearer&#039;s mumblemasking seems to be accepted as ok by a significant number of pollees, some of whom presumably will be Labour Party members.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Trotter snorts at the arguments against an asset sale mandate in his latest column. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;
National&#039;s claim to a specific mandate for its asset sales programme is, accordingly, very strong. The policy was announced nearly a year before the election and was subjected to the intense scrutiny of not only the parliamentary opposition, but also the news media and a broad cross-section of civil society.

National and its allies played by these rules and won. Their performance referendum is scheduled for 2014, and it&#039;s binding. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This raises a bigger issue - the performance referendum in 2014. If it results in a Labour-Green win is the Green Party machine in a position to steamroll over Labour and dictate the terms of the next term?
