In May 2005 I recorded this conversation with Nick. But alas as I said at the end, it was like discussing religion. Even though he knew I had been defacing National party billboards,
http://oilcrash.com/articles/pm_agree.htm - he showed no recognition, since then I have sent Nick and most New Zealand politicians at least 5 DVDs
http://oilcrash.com/articles/you_tube.htm -
http://oilcrash.com/articles/mystery.htm -
http://oilcrash.com/articles/concernd.htm -
and I handed Nick another 4 DVDs with 16 documentaries at Al Gore's presentation in Auckland on the 14 November 2006
http://oilcrash.com/articles/algore01.htm - If Nick had bothered to watch the information I've given him, he would be one of the most informed environment ministers in the world.
Alas as you will hear Nick admitted he only has an attention span of ten minutes.

  • what a wanker saying he could only listen to something for 10 minutes not 45 minutes .

    well you tried your best

  • Mate I've 'been trying my best' for bloody 9 years, it has proven futile, with over 600 DVDs sent to parliament and another 13,400 or so given out to the general dumb public. I have come to the understanding people chose to remain stupid and uninformed. Nick admitting he would/could 'give me' 10 minutes is way more than most, but I am sure he didn't even do that much . If someones job is dependent on not knowing something by god they will do their best not to know. lying bastards ? yes.

  • Only God can decide when the wells will dry up, for He created oil in the first place.

    Also, the center of the Earth is full of oil. We just need drills that reach that deep. Problem solved. God takes care of his children.

  • PEAK OIL IS NOT A MYTH......It is TRUE that there is PLENTY of oil, but DEMAND now exceeds SUPPLY partly because of emerging economies such as China and India.....Gasoline at 5 to 10 dollars per gallon is coming, and it has NOTHING to do with running out of oil......We have oil for probably 200 years, but we wont be able to touch it......CHEAP GASOLINE IS HISTORY......

  • did u actually make this video at the drags? I can't believe that we have someone so naive as our climate change minister, much less our environment minister

  • But you can't plant ENOUGH beats to get as much energy as oil forever for $1.90 a liter. You'll run out of fucking space. Not to mention you can do it for that price now with oil based machines. If you are running the tractor on ethanol it'll cost even more. lol Yes, there will be energy for only 1 billion people who can afford it because there won't be the VOLUME of energy that oil produces.

  • Or maybe he just doesn't have time to listen to joe bloggs off the street and their theories. He's a busy man. He has experts (a variety of which) he listens to. 10 minutes can probably be squeezed into his busy life, 45? Well what if everyone had a 45 minute dvd that they wanted Nick Smith to listen to? He'd have to draw the line in the sand somewhere wouldn't he?

  • The corridors of power are jam packed with gits like this one.

  • @oilcrash1 whatever you say some people just don,t get it or don,t what to believe it they just carry on with their lives not realising it will affect them,it,s going to be a train wreck you can,t stop it just get ready for the crash.

  • Search for Albert Bartlett about resources available

  • Yeah its a load of crap. Aren't we luck y that we have an unlimited supply of oil? How lucky that oil is the only thing in the world that does not have to follow the rules of physics. You just want there to be oil and so there is. Welcome to the land of make believe.

  • Is anyone actually surprised by Nick's opinion??????

    Although I imagine this probably changed around about the time John decided Climate Change was not "a complete and utter hoax."
