Severe drought followed by severe rain fall followed by severe temperatures followed by a Tropical cyclone? That’s so many extreme weather events all in a row for NZ, it’s like ‘something’ is changing the climate or God is hugging the Earth extra tight

Seeing as climate change is a political issue and no longer a scientific one – TDB will name all cyclones hitting us this year after the MPs & Corporations who are feeding the climate denial – this one is Cyclone Fonterra.

The reason why there will be a dramatic jump in the support for radical green politics that go beyond the carbon neutral by 2030 empty gestures within the current political spectrum is because voters, after a while, are going to start staring out the window at weather patterns they know in their bones are different to the ones they have grown up with and those votes will ultimately revolt against the lack of preparation to adjust to the great cultural, economic and social adaptations we need to begin adopting.

  4. Interestingly, California went though a truly diabolical drought recently, which was followed by torrential rain episodes and mudslides, which were followed by such an intense heat wave that California experienced the worst forest fires ever for the time of year (early winter).

    Linking this again because it is highly relevant:

    ‘In 2017, the oceans were by far the hottest ever recorded’

    That implies that Cyclone Fonterra will not dissipate as quickly as cyclones used to in the not-too-distant past, or may even gather energy from the overheated Tasman Sea.

    Interesting times, as all the unpleasant phenomena that geochemists and geophysicists and climate scientists warned about decades ago now start to manifest.

    Arctic and Antarctic sea ice are at record lows and failing to form or rapidly melting, of course. And what happens in the polar regions affects the entire planet of course.

    However, the fuckwits, liars, opportunists and denialists that control and operate Fonterra (and the like) have only one prime agenda: make money.

    The death machine, and the death march it generates, must go on: it’s the economy.

  8. Apart from the two right wing flake’s denouncing climate change all others are awake to the real changes coming !!!!!

    As our water wells and aquifers are now drying up we are today 30/1/18 told in the lower south island and some parts of the north Island,; possibly that will be when these idiots at fonterra and their flake’s at the right will realise that perhaps we have not seen these changes are now causing farms to sell off their stock because they now have no water or grass to feed the dying stock.

    Time to wake up right wing nuts.

    Those isobars are so close!

    We’re getting battered about here, and we’re nowhere near the heart of the monster.

    ‘Fun times’ for the lower South Island, methinks.

    Of course, under disaster capitalism we endure, all the costs of clean-up and repair will be considered ‘good for the economy’, stimulating consumption and employment.
