    While New Zealand also has glacier retreat, we are fortunate that we
    do not have a population that depends on ice melt for water in dry
    periods, but it is another indication that climate change is important
    to the world - and that our trade could be affected should a New
    Zealand Government renege on international agreements relating to
    reducing harmful emissions. It is bad enough that the current
    government does not appear to be taking those commitments seriously -
    we may still avoid trade sanctions, but have to pay significant
    penalties for not meeting targets that successive New Zealand
    Governments have committed us to meet.
    You are once again deliberately twisting facts. Your assumption is that there is something that we (humanity) can do to change the way the climate behaves. There is as yet zero evidence of that being true. So you are still politicking. There are no binding agreements on harmful emissions - that is a lie, many times posted here by you.

    I acknowledged in my post above that New Zealand could renege on
    international agreements relating to reducing harmful emissions -
    thankfully the National Party at least appear to understand that
    having trade abruptly stop to a number of countries would be less
    desirable than retaining commitments that the Key government signed us
    up to.

    You are still doing it. You are lying. There is no such binding agreement and therefore the word renege is idiotic and out of context.
