If we are finished misidentifying annoying British tourists as Irish and chasing them out of town for littering – the planet is melting…

Antarctica’s melt quickens, risks meters of sea level rise: study
OSLO (Reuters) – Antarctica’s annual ice losses have accelerated six-fold in the past 40 years in a trend that could push sea levels meters higher in coming centuries amid man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.

…imagine what could be done if the collective media of NZ spent as much time and effort investigating this band of annoying tourists on things that mattered.

  1. They ARE Irish, what’s got the bee in your bonnet over the nationality of the ‘tourists’, had they been English/Welsh or Scots it would have been reported as such. Seems you need to start your own newspaper Martyn as the ones we currently have either don’t cover what you think should be covered or indeed even if they are covered the wrong questions are asked. Is it not communist/socialist countries that run the media to say what they think the public should know? That’s why you have this blog in a Democratic country, think you would have the freedom to have this platform in your ideal Marxist nirvana?

  2. Humans, not only in NZ Inc have a disconnected brain, they are incapable of seeing the greater picture, being the looming climate disaster, and the causes for this. So they carry on driving their fossil fuel powered cars as if nothing has changed, as if nothing needs to be done, it goes on every day, as I observe it.

    They may celebrate the abolition of ‘one way plastic bags’, but the truth is, supermarkets have found ways to offer other ‘re-usable’ bags for a price, creating the same plastic madness and pollution. And plastic packaging of most goods continues, as if nothing needs to change.

    As for climate change, the oceans are warming 40 percent faster than the IPCC thought, so recent media reports say. Do any people change their ways? Does any person really do anything serious and real about the challenge? NO.

    We carry on as mentally disconnected humans as per usual, digging our own graves, as nobody seems to be mentally capable to understand that their behaviour is part of the major problem. We are also locked into consumerist dependency, into employment dependency, economic dependency, as the powerful businesses that create the mess, they are the same keeping us fed, clothed, powered, transported and so forth.

    Only if the cowardly people take action, get rid of their dependence of business that makes them dependent, only if they become self reliant, as individuals or collectives, will there be real change, and will they survive.

    All else is BS and nonsense, and only contribute to us digging our own grave. But as this is so hard and serious, most prefer to stay deluded, addicted to the BS lifestyles they have adopted, and rather go to hell, and over the abyss, forgetting their kids, who will rather be dragged into humanity’s mass suicide.

  3. I don’t think it is NZ public but the MSM and how officials like to exercise power over easy targets as a quick win, while turning a blind eye to more difficult and pressing and probably fatal problems of the future.

    From work safe not prosecuting Pike river but going after some minor work place accident infringement with great gusto, to the councils prosecuting with a vengeance someone with a yurt while signing off billions of dollars of faulty housing and not getting the money back off the developers in compensation, police failing to prosecute big criminals promptly while spending a considerable amount of time revenue gathering on traffic infringements – NZ has become a nation of petty, mean minded, penny pinching officials who go after the small fry with gusto, while being too scared/incompetent/un interested to actually do their job on the big fuck ups and criminals.

  4. And the newspapers wonder why they are losing circulation numbers. Put a fucking cat story on the front page of a major newspaper and the results will be obvious. There just aren’t enough cat-nuts out there to keep a metropolitan daily afloat.

  5. Yep I think there was a story in the NZ Herald that Max Key’s girlfriend’s cat had died a few years ago FFS ?
