Audio is messed up, I cannot believe in this day and age I come across lectures with terrible audio. Have a 10 year old child use a dam phone to record for you, I guarantee it will be better

Quotes from the UN's IPCC AR6 WG1: Flooding - “the assessment of observed trends in the magnitude of runoff, streamflow, and flooding remains challenging, due to the spatial heterogeneity of the signal and to multiple drivers” "Confidence about peak flow trends over past decades on a global scale is low." "In summary there is low confidence in the human influence on the changes in high river flows on the global scale. Confidence is in general low in attributing changes in the probability or magnitude of flood events to human influence" s11.5.4, p1569. So in absence of detected trends, there won’t be much ability to attribute to humans. You can't say floods are caused by, driven by, or intensified by climate change. The evidence doesn’t support that. Drought - "There is low confidence that human influence has affected trends in meteorological droughts in most regions" s11.6.4.5, p1579. So no real evidence we changed the weather to cause periods of dryness. Tropical Cyclones (TC) - "Identifying past trends in TC remains a challenge...There is low confidence in most reported long-term (multidecadal to centennial) trends in TC frequency - or intensity based metrics" s11.7.1.2, p1585. So we can't spot a trend and therefore we can't really attribute that unknown trend to us humans. Storminess - outside the tropics (ETCs) - "There is overall low confidence is recent changes in the total number of ETCs over both hemispheres" "Overall there is low confidence in past-century trends in the number and intensity of the strongest ETCs" s11.7.2.1, p1592 So we don't know what's happening with winter storms, so we can't say it's us that changed them. Tornadoes, hail, lightning, thunderstorms, extreme winds - "It is not straightforward to make a synthesizing view of trends in severe connective storms [thunderstorms] in different regions. In particular, observational trends in tornadoes, hail and lightning associated with severe connective storms are not robustly detected" s11.7.3.2, p1595. "the observed intensity of extreme winds is becoming less severe in lower to mid latitudes" s11.7.4, p1598. That's between 60°N and 60°S, so pretty much where everyone lives.

There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920, so you're 50 times less likely to die from a climate-related disaster in a world that's 1°C warmer than 100 years ago (EM-DAT, CRED/UC). Deaths from drought have declined by 99%! As an example of good news, Climate Change saved 555,103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022).

"You can't just sign a treaty and set it aside". I know Vijay was referencing the treaty of Raratonga, but ... re-interpreting the treaty of Waitangi ... isn't that discussion going on right now? The Settler Colonialism spirit is alive and well in New Zealand, Vijay.

God, the land of Israel, and the people of Israel. You've abandoned 2 of our 3 core beliefs and replaced them with liberal politics. Which is fine for you if that's what you want. But 95% of Jewish people are zionists. Not the politicized definition that other people have defined, but the real one. That Jews have the right to have a state on our ancient homeland where we can be safe. That Israel has the right to exist. Period. It's not a political ideology. It's certainly not a colonial project. Jews have always lived there, and for 1400 years have been subjugated by Muslims, forced to get down on their knees to pay the Jizya tax. Did those Jews who lived there not deserve a state of their own to live with their own people as equals? Or did only the majority of people get one? The one thing you seem to have ignored is that not a single displacement happened when Israel claimed independence. It wasn't until after all surrounding armies started a war of extermination (their words, not mine) that displacements happened. As they do in every war ever. The difference is that because the world needed Arab oil they made a deal to create UNWRA which unlike every other refugee agency that resettles their refugees, this one was guaranteed never to close, that unlike every other refugee ever only Palestinians get to pass on refugee status, and they claim the law of return, which means the destruction if Israel. It was started by a self proclaimed antisemite as a way of guaranteeing a perpetual conflict until they can "win". 2 million Arabs (Muslim, Druze, Christians, etc) are Israeli citizens with equal rights so they obviously can life in peace with them. You blame Israel as the problem but not the one who started the conflict in the first place? With all the conflicts? In the 1920s at the Peel Commission they said their objection to a Jewish state was religious. This is a religious conflict that became a land dispute. But to say the problem is Israel when Palestinians started and have continued with Jihad for 75 years, rejecting a 2 state solution 6 times, is crazy. I suggest you read The War of Return and watch the movie "From the River to the Sea" on Brazil Paralelo here on YT. And can you please explain how Article 80 of the UN Charter gives Jews the right to settle from the river to the sea, yet the settlements are illegal? Right after the Arab countries leveraged the world's oil to get UNWRA opened, the UN started working to delegitimize Israel and hasn't stopped. The anti Israel bias in the UN is well documented. In America where I am the only people who think they're not currupt is the far left. And despite what you see on the legacy media, over 80% of Americans support Israel. We just don't think that stopping traffic and defacing historic sites is a worthwhile way to get the point across.

Great speaker. ❤❤

colonials silo'ing away an expert on colonialism, for their own little colonial thing. amazing

Found this, Thanks for this great talk!

The mics down cant hear 😔

Awesome Vj always respected your opinion and factual reporting 👍

Shame nothing on Te Tiriti while Atlas Network Policy people destroy us. Funny that. Thoughts and prayers to the mic.

The world has to embrace 'UN's Pact for the Future' amidst this (artificial?) polycrisis, ASAP!!! 😂😂😂

I like how he identified that pre Roger Douglas ideas gave us better prices.

So if every house in Auckland had solar, it could help the overall price.

This guy great knowledge than Miniister Jones

Another great speaker

Just imagine USA give NZ the billions to build Auckland rail system.

Good speaker

what's the bet, companies like blackrock take on building and owning social housing and kianga ora will do the rent collection and management.

Very interesting. Please improve the audio in the future as lots of cutting out.

excellent discussion fabian society - but please improve your audio

Lovely sharing of information about government in action.

Enjoyed what I could hear of this very much. A shame about the sound quality for online viewers. Please have further discussion about issues raised.Thank you.

Great work, great content

China values what every right wing cis gender straight male institution wants: psycopathic levels of power and wealth for THEM by any means necessary 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Were Ben’s responses to the first two questions about Taiwan cut out? I was really interested to hear what he had to say but he didn’t seem to respond to the first two questioners. Any info? Thanks for the great talk.

Pretty cool insight from the economic left - great presentation

What a fantastic analysis - can someone introduce Van to the Prime Minister.?

Kia ora. Nice work Max & co. Terminal Colonialist Atlas Network rats out. Who was Fabian? What's that all about?

a well fed man paid by the govt no doubt, dont share his views

It surprises me that the Fabian Society say they support free speech when you're counterparts in the UK have completely entrapped and enslaved to oligopaths associated with the Fabian Society

WOW ...... I had no idea that there was a Fabian Society in NZ. No wonder our liberties have been eroded.

Your evil is finally starting to be exposed.

I just can't understand why people feel the need to make decisions for everyone else like grown adults are children. Where is the tax revenue going to come from if smoking is banned? Capital gains tax? Ok so if you make a capital loss upon sale of your house or business will you get a tax payout from IRD? Capital gains tax is a disgusting idea, more people should be encouraged to be entrepreneurs. Let adults decide if they want to smoke or not. Or drink or not, or do whatever they want if they aren't hurting anyone else.

Once he began talking about the poisoned river I couldn't bear to listen anymore

In the USA, more people are joining unions currently.

In the period 1950 to 1969, employees had a better standard of living.

People need to be truely valued by the owners of resources. Particularly in collective situations. As with others, a business will be a sole trader with no employees.

Great talk but love to hear a debate with Graig and Gary Stevenson's of Gary's economics opinion of wealth inequality and covid payments in NZ

China, can you please remove New Zealand green party for benefit of mankind.

Thief of taxpayers funding.

This is excellent analysis…I would really loved to have seen the slide presentation while listening to the speaker…is the presentation available?

It's ironic how some religious groups support the right, its the antithesis of religious teachings.
