A BISHOP MAY DEPOSE A POPE - ST THOMAS AQUINAS

There we all were, thinking it's up to the lay faithful to kick up a fuss over the usurper pope Francis and his heresies, and demand his resignation. And for all we know, it's a lay person who's been delving into St Thomas Aquinas and the Deposit of Faith, and has discovered that any bishop may depose an heretical superior, be he even a pope. Or a Cardinal Tucho Fernandez. Or a Bishop Emeritus Peter Cullinane.

The orthodox hierarchy seem frightened of their own shadows. Apart from the occasional outcry from Strickland (who was sacked for it) Vigano, Muller and Burke, they put up and shut up with Francis' demolition job on the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. 

So as a stiffener for episcopal spines, let's remind bishops and ourselves of this, for example: "And today Lutherans and Catholics, Protestants, all of us agree on the doctrine of justification. On this point, which is very important, he (Martin Luther) did not err."(Francis)https://novusordowatch.org/2016/06/chaos-frank-brings-down-the-house-armenia-interview/  If that's not enough, take a gander at this: https://novusordowatch.org/francis/

For a pope this is not a good look 

 Mailbag: St. Thomas on the authority afforded a bishop to expel even a superior

 

Over the transom just now (Barnhardt-speak for "this has arrived in the mail"- ed).

I did not write this. The author desires to remain anonymous. This proves that any individual bishop could depose an heretical superior, and therefore CERTAINLY an Antipope.

The highest ecclesiastical rank Antipope Jorge Bergoglio has ever achieved is Cardinal.  As I have been saying for years, this Antipapacy is incredibly easy to solve: all that has to be done is to call a press conference and SAY IT. As it turns out, the infiltrators such as Tucho Fernandez can also be very easily deposed, by ANY bishop, including auxiliary bishops and/or bishops “emeriti”. – AB 

Let him be anathema

OPEN LETTER TO A COURAGOUS BISHOP

Your Excellency:

I’m writing to share an “obscure” teaching from the Deposit of Faith which affords a bishop the opportunity to expel a superior to himself from the Church. This provision comes from St Thomas Aquinas’s Commentary on Galatians. Since the Magisterium formally teaches that Thomas possesses the true understanding of the Faith, the implications of this “obscure” teaching are very significant because the Deposit of Faith is the highest authority on earth.

Even Vatican II reiterated the perennial teaching that the Magisterium is underneath (See CCC 86) and bound to Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Tradition, which will be referred to here as the Deposit of Faith. The CCC teaches that "the Magisterium draws ALL [emphasis added] that it proposes for belief [from the Deposit of Faith] as being divinely revealed. Since the Pope is part of the Magisterium, the Church teaches he too is underneath the Deposit of Faith.

The next logical question to ask is: does the Deposit of Faith afford the possibility for a bishop to expel a cleric superior to himself? This is a high bar to cross because one would have to establish that the correct Magisterial understanding of the Deposit of Faith supports such a thesis. Any lesser argument would fall short of this goal.

St Pius X begins Pascendi Dominici Gregis with the reason for his famous encyclical being to “… guard with the greatest vigilance the deposit of the faith [which was being attacked]…”. Toward the end of said encyclical, he reveals how one finds the correct understanding of the Faith. He then explicitly directs the Church to embrace the “Angelic Doctor” for the correct understanding of the Faith. Pius further writes that one “cannot set St Thomas aside … without grave detriment ”.

So, here we have a magisterial document, exhorting the Church to trust St Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of the Deposit of Faith. So, if Thomas explicitly taught, from the Deposit of Faith, that a single bishop has the power to expel anyone (if a certain condition is met), even a superior, then this would have the power to supersede the Magisterium.

 

 

Francis with his 'stang': an emblem used in satanic rituals

 

St Paul wrote, “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema ”. St Thomas comments on this biblical passage:

“Now, a teaching passed on by a man can be changed and revoked by another man who knows better … Even a teaching handed down by one angel could be supplanted by that of a higher angel or by God. But a teaching that comes directly from God can be nullified neither by man nor angel…. Hence the Apostle says the dignity of the Gospel teaching which comes directly from God is so great that if a man or even an angel preach another gospel …he is anathema, i.e., must be rejected and expelled.”

… “[W]e must solve the objections which arise on this point. The first is that, since an equal has no authority over his peers and much less over his superiors, it seems that the Apostle has no power to excommunicate the apostles, who are his peers, and less so, angels who are superior… Therefore the anathema is invalid.”

“The answer to this is that the Apostle passed this sentence not on his own authority, but on the authority of the Gospel teaching [Deposit of Faith], of which he was the minister, and the authority of which teaches that whoever says anything contrary to it must [emphasis added] be expelled and cast out. "The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” [John 12:48].

St Thomas just stated that a bishop (whom he refers to as a minister) is given an authority, not from his office as Bishop but from the Deposit of Faith, to expel an equal or a superior if a different gospel is preached than what was handed down.

 

The "ever so 'umble" Pope is blessed by Anglican 'Archbishop' Justin Welby

In summary, the Deposit of Faith, which is above the Magisterium, empowers every bishop to guard the “Gospel” with the power to expel anyone, even a superior, if a different Gospel is being preached. This power to expel is not from the office of bishop which would be subjected to a superior, but rather from the highest authority of the Church on earth, the Deposit of Faith.

Since the Magisterium is the teaching authority which Our Lord empowered to authoritatively teach, the Magisterium would have to endorse St Thomas as being the guide to use in correctly understanding the faith for this thesis to be valid, which it does.

One might object by saying the Magisterium in canon law outlines how to deal with heretical bishops, which would supersede Thomas. This response is false at the core. Regardless of what canon law instructs, it incapable of changing a teaching from the Deposit. The Magisterium, which is the highest authority to interpret the Deposit of Faith, endorses Thomas in this regard. Think of it this way: you have two correct ways to address a heretic in the Church - one from the Deposit of Faith, and another from the Magisterium, with both being valid. Canon Law does not supersede the Deposit of Faith, nor can it nullify any part of it.

In conclusion, it appears that Thomas’s Bible commentary, which was translated into English as recently as 2012, offers a mechanism for any bishop to defend the Faith against any heretic, whoever that may be, “Per Auctoritatem Evangelii” (By the Authority of the Gospel) a power vested in him as a successor to the Apostles. If this premise holds, this obscure teaching might have been providentially provided by Our Lord to save Holy Mother Church from the general apostasy which was foretold would happen.

Respectfully yours in Christ

WHERE HAVE ALL THE YOUNG ONES GONE?

As a paramedic I’m being utilized more and more to not only run 911 calls but take people home to die. Young patients put on hospice due to highly aggressive cancer. Many of these patients know the covid 19 vaccine caused it. Talking to murder victims is the new normal (Harry Fisher on X (Twitter) April 12.

Whistleblower Barry Young's data shows 740 v^xxed New Zealanders aged 5 - 40 died during the Covid so-called v^ccine rollout in 2021, and that's only half of the story: Young possesses only half the available data. Some would have died of accidents or illness - but not many. Not around 1500 youth, young adults and children, as the data would indicate.

The MSM now weeping and wailing, not into their pillows but in front of the cameras, deserve their fate. As support services for PM Jacinda Ardern's propaganda machine, bleating about her "team of 5 million", they were asking for it and they got it: jobs and prestige are gone.

But sinecures in the Catholic Church (among others, like the Mormons) which acted as minions to Ardern in pushing the J^b on the faithful, stay 'safe'(if one may employ the term so abused by the liars and fools who cooperated with the regime). As the tragic effects of the Covid hoax become harder to ignore, bishops, priests and ministers who urged their flocks to take an abortion-tainted gene serum need to repent their terrible mistake and make public reparation. God's justice demands that Masses be offered for the souls of those who have died, and for healing for the survivors.

The hierarchy were ordained to preach Christ's Gospel and truth. Bishops and priests behaved like cowards. They were obliged by their religion to RESIST both pope and prime minister and they caved. They were guilty of false obedience: hierarchy and laity alike must obey God, not man (Acts 5, 29).

In his article today, Deliver us from the Scourge of Cafeteria Cardinals and Bishops, John Horvat writing for the American website TFP (Tradition, Family and Property) instances Pope Pius XI, who defended the truth against Naziism.

Pius XI enlisted the support of all the clergy in proclaiming the Truth in his German-language encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge (1937), targeting Hitler’s Nazi regime then in power. He said: “The first, the most natural gift of love of the priest to his milieu is the service of the truth, and indeed of the whole truth, the unmasking and refutation of error, no matter in what form, in what disguise, in what make-up it may present itself in. To renounce this would not only be a betrayal of God and your holy vocation; it would also be a sin against the welfare of your people and nation.”

Jesus’s Great Commission to spread the Gospel directs the Church to teach a revealed doctrine that constitutes an indivisible whole. Preaching Truth must include condemning error. It requires disciplining with censure and excommunication those who pertinaciously deny Church teaching and wound the spiritual common good.

Accepting or tolerating that the Church’s teachings be partially ignored, silenced or suppressed for the sake of political expediency is a total betrayal of a bishop’s mission.Deliver Us from the Scourge of Cafeteria Cardinals and Bishops (tfp.org)

Famed feminist writer Naomi Wolf, who found herself shut out by her liberal peers for questioning COVID tyranny, told Tucker Carlson that “prayer is a weapon.”

Carlson recently interviewed Wolf on his website. Wolf has long been a member of the political left, including supporting abortion.

The pair spoke about Wolf’s growing interest in prayer and how it came during the COVID lockdowns. Wolf, who is Jewish, said she saw similarities between the Old Testament and how forces in society have turned toward evil.

“I assume prayer was not part of your daily life 10, 15, 20 years ago. Or maybe it was not really,” Carlson asked. Wolf said it was not part of her life in a conscious way, but it now is.

“You know that that prayer is a weapon. I mean, a good one, but that it makes a difference in the world that it … does things in the world,” she said. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/naomi-wolf-tucker-carlson-covid-shots-prayer?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0I13aYCU-xJgOiumez5NDp-2lqDLXT4ApmAcVB_qtUjMDe7lMmTC5wzz4_aem_AS3HzJ3cGiB_dScupUsjpDOftv82pBLTRcfrEGzec_ujI6xovVJdlPsbOEsvPR_E4pxDD4B4aajc_PhmHgA9UfXE

Christchurch solo mother given 8 weeks to live after complaining of stomach ache

"Whistleblower Barry Young provides his data on the young New Zealanders, aged 40 and under, who died during the nationwide rollout of the covid vaccination in 2021, and who were registered as having had at least one dose of Covid vaccination before November 2023."

A total of 740 in Barry's data fit that category. Note that the cause of death is not recorded in the data. Barry's data contains about half those "vaccinated" in all databases around the country. The age range starts at just 5 years old. Please draw your own conclusions.

The government's refusal to consider the data provided by Barry Young and published by Liz Gunn - in any form of public messaging, review or investigation - is evidence of corruption and malicious intent. The legacy media are equally so. It's likely that a small number of those death records were attributed to accidents or other causes.

The logical, responsible, and I believe, obligatory approach to this information by The Health Ministry (Te Whata Ora) is a thorough study of each case for cause of death. Instead we have the nation of New Zealand looking like this:

Young released anonymized data which the Health Department, police, judiciary, legacy media and support businesses and organizations (too many to name) are all determined to ignore, and denigrate anyone who would seek accountability surrounding the jab rollout in 2021.

It's sickening to realise that the government and media are still pushing the COVID-19 jab as if there were nothing going on and no one was adversely affected by it. This is a deadly psychological operation, the scope of which has not been seen before in living memory.

The wakeup is slow and it will take our continued effort to wake up those around us to the murder and maimed lead by this government and the last.

 

US Senator Rand Paul: "Fauci should be arrested" 

The difficult truth, that for some will be impossible to believe, is that nearly every Western government has fomented a war against the whole population through propaganda, cunning, lies, and deceit. It's clear that this has been long planned and competently prepared. There have been a few missteps but the effect of the COVID-19 fake pandemic will be with us for generations to come.

 

 

A number of notable individuals around the world have noticed the malevolent intent of government leaders and understood that they have had plans for just such a destructive and deadly operation as this pandemic for decades if not longer. Some have noted this since the Kennedy assassination and the assassinations that followed that criminals have overrun the positions of power. They have abused the trust of each nation's citizens to the point of openly declaring their plans for depopulation and minute control of the population of the world.

A response is inevitable and it will take time yet to take effect. It will come with the population awakening to these unusual deaths and disabilities these measures have brought. The depth of the lies and deceit, it seems, knows no bounds and to the average man and woman incredible. Each of us must come to the realization that the world we grew up in was. and is, not what we were lead to believe.

Our world was a veil of secrets long hidden, awaiting a time to put into action. A careful building of trust coupled with corruption designed to lead us to a future of disempowerment by a group with no name, who hold no common nationality nor allegiance but to their own profit, power and absolute control of those they consider inferior... you, me and all those we hold dear.

Make no mistake, they will not succeed. Their weakness is their downfall. Exposure.

As we continue to find ways to communicate, to speak, make mention, announce and proclaim the revealing will take place. Find your "voice" whether it is art, music, friendship groups, gatherings, or whatever our hand finds to do, the truth will penetrate, reveal and ultimately undo the evil we presently face. Whether sooner or later, the exposure will happen.

I am conscious that it is much easier to find fault than to find solutions. As we continue to search and learn, those solutions will come. We have more power than we think... perhaps I should say I, not we. I do think it's true for all of us. Let's be the example we'd like to see.

Dr Hanna Nohynek and the WHO's Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

 

A top official with the World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted during an explosive testimony that the vaccine passports pushed by the agency were just a scam to advance the global vaccination agenda.

Additionally, Dr. Hanna Nohynek testified that the WHO knew that Covid mRNA shots were ineffective but still pushed for the general public to be pressured into taking the experimental injections.

Dr. Nohynek says the WHO used the vaccine passports to force the public into complying with the vaccination agenda despite knowing the injections were ineffective against Covid.Nohynek is the WHO’s chair of the Strategic Group of Experts on Immunization and serves as the chief physician at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare and serves as.

The WHO dropped the bombshell revelations in a Helsinki courtroom while testifying in a lawsuit brought by Finnish citizen Mika Vauhkala. Vauhkala is suing after he was denied entry to a café for not having a vaccine passport. 

Nohynek testified in court that she advised the WHO and her government that vaccine passports were not needed.

However, Nohynek says she was ignored, despite explaining that the Covid vaccines were essentially “fake” because they did not stop virus transmission.

She also warned that the passports and vaccines gave a false sense of security.

During her testimony, Nohynek revealed that the WHO and the Finnish Institute for Health knew by the summer of 2021 that the Covid mRNA shots were completely ineffective against virus transmission.

She says the United Nations health agency knew the injections wouldn’t stop the spread of Covid shortly after rolling out the vaccines in early 2021 but continued to push them, despite the risks to public safety.

During that same 2021 time period, the WHO said it was working to “create an international trusted framework” for safe travel. Meanwhile, European Union member states began rolling out Covid passports. The EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation was passed in July 2021 and more than 2.3 billion certificates were later issued.

 Visitors to France were banned if they did not have a valid vaccine passport which citizens had to carry to buy food at stores or to use public transport.

The EU’s vaccine passport system has not been made redundant, however. The EU has collaborated with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to modify the system to run as a “digital ID” instead. This same system has been expanded to incorporate digital payments alongside ID while still supporting proof of “vaccination status.”

However, during her court appearance on Thursday, Dr. Nohynek testified yesterday that her team advised the WHO and the Finnish government in late 2021 that Covid passports should be stopped. She argued that forcing the public to take dangerous mRNA shots that were ineffective against Covid, and then making them prove their vaccination, made no sense.Nevertheless, the vaccine passports continued to be required.

 

Dr. Nohynek’s comments were reported by Finnish journalist Ike Novikoff, who was in the Helsinki courtroom when Dr. Nohynek testified.

Dr. Nohynek’s admission about Covid shots and vaccine passports proved especially shocking as she is widely renowned in global medical circles and a top immunization official in the WHO. Besides chairing the WHO’s strategic advisory group on immunizations, Nohynek is one of Finland’s top vaccine advisors. She also serves on the boards of Vaccines Together and the International Vaccine Institute.

The EU’s digital COVID-19 certification helped establish the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network in July 2023.

“By using European best practices we contribute to digital health standards and interoperability globally—to the benefit of those most in need,” stated one EU official.

Finnish citizen Mika Vauhkala created a website discussing his case against Finland’s government. Vauhkala writes that he launched his lawsuit “to defend basic rights” after he was denied breakfast in December 2021 at a Helsinki café. He was refused entry because he did not have a Covid passport even though he was healthy.

“The constitution of Finland guarantees that any citizen should not be discriminated against based on health conditions among other things,” Vauhkala states on his website.

British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra also appeared in the Helsinki district court on Friday to testify in the case. 

 

 

Malhotra testified that, during the pandemic, global government health officials and medical professionals supported unethical, coercive, and misinformed policies such as vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. These policies sought only to vaccinate as many members of the general public as possible, regardless of the risks.

Malhotra notes that this mass vaccination agenda undermined informed patient consent and evidence-based medical practice. READ MORE – Top Japanese Professor Issues Global Warning: Pandemic Was a Hoax to ‘Drive Vaccinations’

ST PATRICK'S TAUPO - SO LIKE CRANMER'S 'MASSE'

 

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X (Twitter).

Mass at St Patrick's Catholic church in Taupo this morning proved the success of the modus operandi of the Church of England's Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. Cranmer and his partner in crime, Henry VIII, believed that changing the way people pray changes the way they believe. And what do you know? They were right.

The age-old doctrine of the Catholic Church outlawing abortion is no longer believed by 60% of US Catholics, and given New Zealand's Bishops' shocking neglect of the doctrine they were ordained to uphold, who would dare say Kiwi Catholics are any better? 

St Patrick's Tongariro this morning showed why Kiwi Catholics are every bit as un-Catholic as their US counterparts. The Mass was more Protestant than Catholic: only the Consecration of the Host, transforming it from 'a little round thing' as Monsignor Trevor Murray reiterated histrionically, into the Body and Blood of Christ, saved the liturgy from blasphemy and sacrilege. That is, only if no Particles of the Host, distributed mostly by women in trousers, were dropped and trodden on - or stolen.

Stealing Our Lord. It happens 

At the risk of luring all the Proddy Catholic haters out of their lairs, it was Cranmer who engineered the English 'Reformation' - more accurately, Deformation - changing the Catholic Church into the Anglican sect which St Patrick's Tongariro so closely resembles, chiefly by measures which closely paralleled those visited on the Church after the Second Vatican Council, evidenced at St Patrick's by:

• The table for sharing a meal, instead of the altar on which the Son of God, Our Lord Jesus Christ, is offered anew to God in propitiation and reparation for sin
• the monsignor facing the congregation instead of God (with graphics displayed on a screen to illustrate his 5-minute homily, tailored to his hearers' listening span) 
• communion under both kinds
• women in the 'sanctuary' (as it used to be), dressed like men
• most egregiously, communion taken in the hand (a practice allowed by indult and  born out of disobedience).
  
  

The worst of it is, St Patrick's Tongariro is just par for the course. Most Novus Ordo Masses in New Zealand are no better. No, wait: St Patrick's is actually better than average, because at least the altar servers were all boys. But women and girls got their own back everywhere else in the liturgy. 

A woman more than usually obviously in need of affirmation as 'ministers of the Eucharist' go, proclaimed the 'Welcome' and led the 'Prayers of the Faithful' - which featured the obligatory Francis church prayer for 'Mother Earth' while of the Mother of the Church and Mother of God, Mary most holy, she made no mention. She asked the congregation to pray that young people find 'models and mentors'. 

The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church features, in her liturgical year, more models and mentors than you could shake a stick at: chief among them after Jesus Christ Himself being the Blessed Virgin Mary. But the Novus Ordo liturgy has done away with most of God's magnificent retinue of canonised heros and heroines - in their thousands - who grace the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church.

The spirit of Archbishop Cranmer (who hated the 'Masse') animated the monsignor's homily to such an extent that the only reference he made to the Sacrifice of Calvary which is re-enacted in every Catholic Mass was his use of the word 'broken' - which could signify the bread of Eucharist which is the Protestant rite, just as much as the Lord's Passion and death which is the Mass.

Cranmer's thought and practice was lodged so securely in the liberalities of the Second Vatican Council that in an intervention made in 1987, another, truly Catholic, archbishop, Marcel Lefebvre, could rightly state that "so long as he clings to error, the human person falls short of his dignity. The dignity of the human person does not consist in liberty set apart from truth. In fact, liberty is good and true to the extent to which it is ruled by truth.” The Remnant Newspaper - 60 Years After the Council, Will Catholics Reject the Unholy Errors of Tucho’s Dignita s Infinita?

Diabolical deception, riddled with errors - Dignitatis Infita

Another appalling statistic uncovered by yesterday's Pew Research report is that only about 3 in 10 US Catholics attend Mass regularly - and even worse, 75% approve of the usurper pope Francis. 

These are the bitter fruits of the 'New Mass', whose errors as epitomised at St Patrick's Tongariro this morning echo so faithfully the monumental, disastrous heresy that was Archbishop Cranmer's Anglican 'Masse'. 

Which rather knocks the repulsive Cardinal 'Tucho' Fernandez' new document, Dignitatis Infita, for six, does it not?

There was a sign of hope, however, at Mass at St Patrick's Tongariro this morning. One young woman (twenty-ish) wore a chapel veil, and another a head scarf, both covering their heads in the presence of Christ as the Church always required until after Vatican II. They and a couple of young men received Our Lord kneeling, on the tongue. It was enough to make one other Massgoer - who had decided to kneel too, even at the risk of a public rebuff - weep for relief, not at being let off the hook, but at the sight of real reverence. 

This is the future for the Church. 

Good shepherds. Reverence

SCHOOLS STRIKE FOR CLIMATE MADNESS

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address FB Messenger or X (Twitter). 

Driving from Hawke's Bay to the Coromandel today, evidence of the damage wrought by what TvOne's weatherman calls 'Mother Nature' was only too evident, especially in the Esk Valley "in the wake of Gabrielle",  as RNZ National boringly reiterates to the point of tears. The route from Thames to Coro was punctuated by traffic lights at washouts while on the car radio 'Waka Kotahi' proudly announced the umpteenth re-opening of the road to Fox Glacier. 

It's not 'Mother Nature'. Even less is it 'climate change'. Human greed has ravaged the 'common home' that the usurper pope Francis prioritises, saving the planet over his proper duty of saving souls, and now the planet is ravaging humankind. 

Notice how it's youth who've been indoctrinated with the globalist, socialist propagand of 'climate change'. Youth - as epitomised by the over-activist, autistic Greta Thunberg - are impressionable and idealistic. In the interests of global depopulation they've been persuaded not to believe in the God they should "know, love and serve", so they believe not in nothing, but in anything. 'Climate change' is nothing more than the natural consequence of sin. Especially the mega-sin of abortion by which babies die without baptism. 

David Seymour, leader of the Act Party and one of the coalition's triumvirate, is getting worked up about kids taking time off school which they're hardly ever at anyway - or only between 'teachers' only days' to jump up and down in the streets about 'climate change' while at the same time reducing their chances of ever learning enough to do something about it.

self-explanatory

The so-called School Strike for Climate isn’t just a problem for attendance, it is bad for mental health and fixing the climate, too.

Monday and Tuesday were days off school last weekend. Wednesday and Thursday were school days. So was Friday, but 100,000, or one-in-eight, students took the afternoon off to protest everything from honouring the Treaty to climate change to war in the Middle East. 

Easter week, sure, but another week where kids didn’t go to school much, can’t have learned much, and won’t be better prepared for the future. These are becoming too normal in New Zealand, and the Government is going big on attendance to get kids back to school regularly.

A bigger problem with the School Strike for Climate is one set out beautifully in the Oxford Union Debate by Konstantin Kisin. In short, there are billions of poor people in the world, and not just poor by New Zealand standards where the government gives you a small income and pays for you to stay in a motel.

They are really poor. Their children will struggle to get enough nutrition to develop properly. They are the 10 per cent or so who still live in absolute poverty. They can see a path to a richer life, and the developed world has already trodden it.

They want to use technologies that affordably raise our life expectancies, usually emitting lots of carbon dioxide. They’re not going to not do it, just like Westerners are not going to not feed their children. They will feed their children first and worry about emissions second. It should be a familiar pattern to Westerners.

 

 

Demanding that the New Zealand Government further mutilate the New Zealand economy in the name of climate science won’t help the planet. What will help, as Kisin concludes, is science and technology that allows the poorest people in the world to feed themselves without large emissions.

New Zealand could play a major part in this. We should be the world superpower in agricultural genetics. Unfortunately the Greens for years led a successful campaign to all but ban genetic technology, making New Zealand the Amish country of genetics.

What’s worse, our educational performance in science is dismal, taking the next generation further away from solving the climate, or any other, problem. The conclusion is that if you really cared about and understood the climate challenge you’d be in school Friday and protesting Saturday.

 

Perhaps it was just a day off, but there’s a more sinister side to the school strike movement. As several students have argued, it’s not a day off, it’s about saving their lives. They HAVE to take a day off school because, in the words of one child captured on television, “I am literally [sic] going to die from climate change.”

One day we will look back at a time when capricious adults scared children witless, contributing to an epidemic of depression and anxiety, to advance a commercial and political agenda. Kids need to know that there are real problems in the world, but they can be solved. Better still, they need to be pointed towards the solutions.

In the case of climate change, the answer is simple: learn the best maths, science, technology and business you can, and you will be equipped to solve the problem. That is not only a better message for the planet, but for a generation’s mental health.

I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me
