John @ Frogblog gets it right

Dear Sir, The question of whether Mr English and Mr Key are in “climate change denial” goes beyond this one issue.
Climate change, resource depletion, bioshere degregation, over population and a number of social equality issues are externalities (i.e. not captured by free market pricing.
This is compounded by the short term bias of free markets.
Given the dominance of the neo-liberal ideology in the thinking of the mainstream parties in general and national in particular these gentlemen will take no action until it is too late.
What is required is a major effort to challenge the free market ideology just as its proponents did to Keynesism etcetera.
The evidence is there it is up to you guys to get stuck in!
