As long as Luxon et al continue to refuse to listen to teachers, nurses, geologists, engineers, immunologists, oncologists, chemists, biologists, human rights lawyers, etcetera, etcetera, etbloodycetera, it's highly unlikely they'll be in any rush to heed advice on a subject they wrote the book on

"… You know, said Arthur, it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young

Why, what did she tell you?

I don't know, I didn't listen …"

Alternatively, you could simply Cut&Paste Canada (and rotate it by 180°, so the coldest bits remain the cokdest) There's plenty of room down here by Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand -- and we'd be much better neighbours We'll even teach you how to play cricket 😁

First They Came … Martin Niemöller Germany, 1946 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_t...

Text of the poem

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Martin Niemöller
Germany, 1946
