Bummer: New Zealand Court Rejects Climate Refuge Defense

November 26, 2013 – 10:08 am

I’ve mentioned this story a few times, thought I’d give the outcome

(Guardian) A Pacific Island man’s bid to become a climate change refugee suffered a blow on Tuesday after a New Zealand court refused to let him challenge a decision denying him asylum. 

Ioane Teitiota, 37, had said he was trying to escape rising seas and environmental risks caused by global warming in his home country of Kiribati. 

But New Zealand’s High Court in Auckland ruled that his claim fell short of the legal criteria, such as fear of persecution or threats to his life. 

What he was really concerned about was poo infested waters. This is a big blow to the Warmists, who have been attempting to push their “climate refugee” meme as a way of pushing redistribution of (Other People’s) wealth.

    go figure. a winter storm system occurring during the cold season. Like the Great Lakes and NE states have never had snow.

    Go figure.

    In related news, Jefffery fails to tell us what’s so atypical about this storm. In other related news, Jeffery fails to tell us how he knows the intensities of storms before we began measuring such things-like, basically, 4.5 billion years worth. And in our final related news, we find Jeffery doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
