The destroyer of the New Zealand economy gifting her talents to the world.
Ex-NZ leader Jacinda Ardern joins conservation group
By Nick Perry (associated Press)
Updated November 6 2023 – 4:05pm, first published 4:02pmFormer New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will work with the Conservation International group to advocate for climate action and better treatment of the environment.
Conservation International said Ardern has become its sixth Arnhold Distinguished Fellow and will serve a two-year term to advocate internationally, especially on issues affecting the Pacific and Antarctica. The group said the role was considered part-time and came with a stipend.
…
“From the beginning of my time in the New Zealand parliament, I’ve advocated for global climate action,” Ardern said in a statement. “My passion and sense of urgency on this issue has only increased over the last 15 years, especially as I witnessed firsthand the impact of climate change in our region.”

OK technically Ardern wasn’t dumped, she jumped ship just before her party endured a crushing defeat.
Ardern’s gift to the New Zealand economy;
New Zealand is officially in a recession. These charts show how Australia compares

New Zealand is now in a recession as official data shows the economy has contracted over two consecutive quarters.
On Thursday, Stats NZ released its gross domestic product (GDP) data for the first quarter of this year and the direction had not changed since December.
At the end of last year, GDP was down 0.7 per cent in New Zealand.
In quarter one of this year, it fell 0.1 per cent.
The figure is small, but there are other indicators that signal New Zealand is likely now in a period of economic contraction that will last longer than six months.
The last time the country had two consecutive quarters of negative growth — the technical threshold for a recession — its international borders were closed and the world was in the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of course, the official government line is there is no recession and the NZ economy is growing – which explains why voters were so deliriously happy with Ardern’s handling of the economy, her party got obliterated at the ballot box.
Oh yes, that Covid lockdown which so disrupted the New Zealand economy, that was also Ardern’s fault – one of the most extreme Covid lockdowns in the Western world.
Ardern has a plan to deal with those who impede her glorious vision for society with their criticism, as she explained in a speech which linked climate skepticism to gun violence.
My question to readers, which I posed at last year’s Aussie CPAC – how will we all benefit, when Jacinda Ardern is UN Secretary General? Because with someone like her, there is a real chance it could happen.
And don’t tell me, Jacenda uses fossil fuels every day, every day!! Leftist hypocrites!
It has been worse than just destroying the economy. Ardern has destroyed our society. Her biggest crime was to attempt to engineer the overthrow of our democracy based on one person one vote. This was to be by allocated our indigenous Maori (18% of the population) 50% of the seats in our parliament. This cogovernance model was touted by her as our obligation under the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People.
She is extreme woke and very dangerous. Her legacy has been a residue of resentment and racial conflict. As a kiwi I can tell the world; “avoid her at all costs!”
True, except that her legacy is even worse than that. When you quote Maori as 18% of the population, you exaggerate.. That number may be the proportion who opt to have their name placed on the roll of Maori voters, but to do so requires not a shred of Maori heritage. So it includes all those who might wish they had some Maori heritage, and those left-leaning non-Maori who see some advantage in being perceived as “Maori”. In fact, there are NO full-blooded Maori alive today, and very very few who would qualify as 50% Maori. This is our version of APARTHEID, fostered for no logical reason by Ardern, who presumably saw some advantage in fostering the ethereal underclass, who are actually treated as full and equal members of our society. I suspect, and hope, that we never see Ardern in New Zealand again, because to do so would pose enormous risk to her as a result of her illogical, ignorant, and damaging actions.
That is complete nonsense. There was never any attempt to allocate 50% of the seats to Maori. Where is the evidence that that was every attempted or even suggested?
Here you go. If you want an article defining cogovernance in greater detail just ask. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2022/03/prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-confirms-public-consultation-on-m-ori-co-governance-will-happen-in-2022.amp.html
And where in that link is there the suggestion that 50% of seats in the NZ parliament would be allocated to Maori? That was never suggested by the previous government nor was it ever suggested by any serious political party. It is just conspiracy theory nonsense.
The plan, which Ardern tried to hide, was called He Puapua. “Item 29 As an immediate action, we recommend the establishment of a high-level co-governance body comprised of equal numbers of government ministers and Maori representatives.”
https://iwichairs.maori.nz/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/He-Puapua-for-OIA-release.pdf
Here is an actual copy. A lot of organisations are trying to hide it. Read it and weep. https://www.tpk.govt.nz/documents/download/documents-1732-A/Proactive%20release%20He%20Puapua.pdf
There are so many people who don’t know what they don’t know.
And far more who, like Izaac, don’t know that they don’t know what they don’t know
Thats just a maori organisation blowing smoke
Your link doesnt exist either and the same for the report – straight to the dustbin of history
The previous government tried to hide it’s support for He Paupau which was a bit like our Uluru Statement from the Heart. Stuff about Maori only wards and constituencies swamped by motherhood statements that you weren’t meant to read so you didn’t know what you were voting for.
Why do I keep needing to remind people that a scam is getting what you didn’t ask for? What you don’t want is never in the first few paragraphs.
For sure. It’s usually hidden on page 150, clause XVII, sub clause 5a1. Also in vague ambiguous language.
It wasnt even Government policy …ever. That was 2 elections ago and was never any party policy either.
That was part of the scam. Ardern commission a secret plan to implement cogovernance by 2040. This was leaked to the party.
As the reaction grew her government denied they were implementing it. Ardern denied reading it (possible, it is a turgid document). However she was progressively implementing the steps, namely;
Seperate Maori health system including prioritising Maori for treatment
Revised CRT oriented school history curriculum
Maori cogovernance of centralised water supply system
Maori law in legal system
Support for Maori only wards and/or cogovernance at local government level
Stealthy liar.

Anything she claims as a Clilmate Change” impact will be something that has always occurred, has been happening right along, or isn’t true.
“I witnessed firsthand the impact of climate change”.
Nope, because that is NOT possible.
There is a reason your party lost bigly—you. Please go away.
Impossible because climate change happens so gradually that it is imperceptible without sensitive and precise instruments to measure over months and years then have the data analyzed with statistical methods to identify a trend. No one “experiences” it firsthand. It takes many human lifetimes for its effects to become noticeable. We only think we know it’s happening because we can measure sea level at multiple places (some increasing, some decreasing) and average them to come up with a global average of around 3mm per year. Your fingernails grow ten times faster than global sea level rise. If you lived in a house by the ocean, it would take decades—perhaps your entire life—for you to notice that the average tidal rise and fall is a little higher (or lower if you live in Alaska or Norway or Sweden) than it used to be, and only if you were obsessively paying attention.
Here is an interactive map showing sea level rise around the world and how it differs by location.

She reminds me of Al Gore and Justin Trudeau.
Especially around the eyes.
She reminds me of everything wrong in western society
She’s currently at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts for the next 2 semesters (this Fall and next Spring) on a Liberal-Progressive funded faux gilding of her resumé. Then no doubt she’ll be off on her broom to bigger and more tyrannical things down the road.
“As a Knight Tech Governance Leadership Fellow, she will study ways to improve content standards and platform accountability for extremist content online, and examine artificial intelligence governance and algorithmic harms.”
No doubt this article by Eric is deemed “extremist content” since we’re all a “basket of deplorable climate d3niers” here on WUWT.
Read about it here:
https://www.hks.harvard.edu/announcements/jacinda-ardern-appointed-hks-fellowship
That link shows just how insane Harvard has become- though easy here in Wokeachusetts.
I have three degrees from there. Of course, that was almost 50 years ago when they still meant something. Several years ago I told the major gifts committee not to expect anything more from me until Oreskes was removed. She is still there, and Harvard has gotten zip.
So you wanted her cancelled and academic freedom book burnt as well
She will dig her own grave in time
She is a history of science person unqualified on ‘climate science’, yet she was given a university professorship on that subject.
She got the position via political influence,, NOT academic qualifications.
She should never have been given the position in the first place.
Sorosity girl – A sisterhood of sorts…
More like SoreAssity Girl – A Hermorrhoid of sorts…
Jacinda as SG of the UN is an excellent idea. It’s the one place where nobody will pay any attention to her or to what she says.
And she is a lot prettier than the present jackass. If you have to have a jackass (and they do) have a pretty one. Mind you the oceans are boiling will be hard to beat but she can do it. Just look at those crazy eyes.
Compared to a fat little Portuguese sausage, and assuming you’re a horse lover, I suppose it’s arguable.
The one that won the Melbourne cup.
Now that was a good looking horse. !
And, if she maintains her track record, she’ll destroy the UN within about 10 years.
“The destroyer of the New Zealand economy gifting her talents to the world.”
Surely that should be “grifting her talents to the world.”
Like Marissa Mayer and the “gifts” she brought to Hewlett Packard and Yahoo? Spent a ton of time and money on a new logo for Yahoo and presided over making a huge mess of Yahoo Mail and other stuff, to the point where large numbers of Yahoo employees wouldn’t “eat their own dog food” as one of her people wrote in an internal memo that was leaked.
I don’t remember if she was at HP when they bought Palm then killed it off.
Economy wasnt destroyed and the recession claim ( miniscule) was later reversed by full economic data. often happens for small recessions.
The economy grew !
New Zealand’s economy did go into recession during the middle part of 2023, but has just grown by less than 1% in the last quarter – the projections for 2024 still look very iffy, however, and may well see a further downturn. Time will tell.
No recession, didnt exist at all – the numbers were minor negative for Q4 at end of quarter and when they were revised after next quarter with more data they went from negative to positive .
hence no recession as you need TWO negative quarters
Sept 22 Q3 1.5%
Dec 22 Q4 -0.5%
Mar 23 Q1 zero
Jun 23 Q2 0.9%
Jacinda Ardern, as a conspicuous CO2 producer, should sacrifice herself for the good of the environment.
Gosh, nobody saw this coming for Jacinda Ardern –
President of International Union of Socialist Youth
Social democrats
Early political careerSee also: Electoral history of Jacinda Ardern
President of International Union of Socialist YouthOn 30 January 2008, at 27, Ardern was elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) at their world congress in the Dominican Republic for a two-year term until 2010.[43][44] The role saw her spend time in several countries, including Hungary, Jordan, Israel, Algeria and China.[34] It was mid-way through her presidency term that Ardern became a list MP for the Labour Party. She then continued to manage both roles for the next 15 months.
“The role saw her spend time in several countries, including Hungary, Jordan, Israel, Algeria and China”
And she never flew by private jet once… Can I sell you a bridge? 😉
Yet another socialist/marxist hypocrite intent on destroying whatever she touches.
Ah the ‘Young Communists’ under a slightly different name. The popular organisation for ‘daddy’s little rebels’ and those that wanted to have sex with the little darlings. Soon as they left college most of them junked it all in and got a job with daddy’s company in the city for a fat paycheck. I guess Ardern was one of the wannabe hangers-on without a rich daddy or without the basic skills for a job.
Adern has a ton of questions to answer regarding the incident she used to relieve new Zealanders of their guns, prior to locking them all down.
Only semi automatics were banned , the lever and bolt action rifles with standard magazines were un touched, all those with larger magazines could be modified at tax expense and returned to owner
Your claims are almost entirely false
She is a Destroyer of Worlds…..Haaaaavad must be a financial reward for her deeds before her next assignment?
We need to start confronting these CAGW pushers. My guess is that if she were asked to explain in her own words how CO2 emissions threaten the world all she could offer is anecdotal evidence and computer models. We need to arm ourselves with real evidence like hurricanes are not more frequent or more powerful, tornadoes are not more frequent or more powerful, sea levels are not rising at an increasing rate, our average global temperature is not rising at an increasing rate, wildfires are not more frequent or more severe and on and on. If they were forced to prove what they say they would fall flat and be forced to find something else to whine about. They make me sick.
She hasn’t a clue, she’s like AI, programmed to deceive
Poor burnt out Jacinda – it must be tough being a WEF babe peddling a hoax – if she’s championing environmentalism, will she look at animals being killed by wind farms, in the air and sea? Will she look at the damage to the natural environment being done by wind & solar farms? Nah, didn’t think so
NZ had the lowest proportion of excess deaths due to COVID in the world.
Every political party in NZ concurs that greenhouse gas emissions is causing the planet to warm. The political debate is between adaption versus mitigation.
Why should anyone take the opinions of NZ political parties on Climatology seriously?
We’re all looking forward to you presenting actual evidence that CO2 controls temperatures.
Si, mate, I’m unsure if it’s “excess deaths” when you attribute them to a named cause.
In any event, are you saying that Jacinda Trudeau’s anti-scientific policies were beneficial absolutely, or relatively? I can tie my child to her bedpost and claim that because of my caring policy that she’ll never die in a car crash, but only an arse would think that a beneficent decision.
As for the comment that all NZ parties agree on AGW, my only response is to stare at your post in disbelief, blinking only to signal to my wife that I’m still alive. You cannot be serious. As I told my students, I will now tell you: take the contrary position to the one you want to be true and research it like your reputation depends upon it. Give it a go, I dare you.

Hmm…
To boldy state “I’ve witnessed firsthand the impacts of climate change in our region”, wouldn’t one need to be at least 60 years old? If 30 years of records is taken as a baseline to define climate, the surely two full terms are required for a minimum experience!
The recession claim is also wrong , as later data showed the small falls were illusory
NZ Herald Sept 23
No recession: Economic growth stronger than expectedThe economy grew 0.9 per cent in the second quarter, lifting the country out of recession and exceeding expectations.
In fact, based on revisions to earlier numbers, the economy may not have been in a technical recession at all.
GDP rose 3.2 per cent in the year ended June 2023.

Once again Eric shows he is just a little bit threatened by strong confident women.
Arden is a threat to all society, because people like you “believe” in her.
You NEEED someone like Arden to tell you what to do…
So “strong”…. she had to resign, rather than face what she knew would happen at the next election.. 😉
Simple Simon throws the “sexism” card. Nice.
We are all threatened by incompetents in positions of power. That she is a woman is of as little consequence as saying Trudeau and Biden are men.
Once again, Simon shows he is threatened by debating facts and logic. Personal attacks are so much easier and irrelevant. See, I can do it too.
“My
passion and sense of urgencyhysteria on this issue has only increased over the last 15 years, especially as I witnessed firsthand the impact ofclimate changeweather in our region.”There, fixed.
Oh my…it’s slightly warmer than some other arbitrary time in history. We need to tear down all of society to save the planet. Signed LEFTIST-MARXISTS everywhere.
