We are almost 6 sigma out.
6 sigma.
In normal distribution of temperatures, right now we are 6 sigma out.
We are facing the hottest year in 125 000 years and the only response from our new Far Right Government is ‘More Cows’!
What if we have actually been wrong about climate change all this time?
What if climate change isn’t linear?
What if it is exponential?
What if the temperature readings that are almost 6 sigma out of normal standard deviation evidence not of linear warming but exponential growth instead?
Meaning that instead of catastrophic weather by the end of the century, we are looking at within a decade?
The readings back suggest we are looking at an enormous cascade failure of the biosphere, the speed and severity of which will trigger enormous shocks to global capitalism and democracy.
ACT, National and NZ First are a climate denying Government who will not have any solutions to these challenges.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice going into this pandemic and 2020 election – please donate here.

Yes, a big thank you to all you lunkheads, thickos, incels, codgers, racists and sheep shaggers who voted Natzo, Act or newly minted MAGA–ite Winston.
Genuine, non sarcastic thanks however to those of the new gens who did vote though!–particularly for Te Pāti Māori and Greens. I don’t blame the alienated, excluded and let down for not voting–but you bloody should have anyway…
Climate disaster is truly here–and will only get much worse by the month. No need to go to sodding Bali, Europe or the burnt out sand pit that is Australia, start your vegetable gardens and rain water collection and keep some cash on hand for when the ATMs go down…
You need to be wealthy to afford to care .Most people just get on with their lives and will follow the rules set by the government .When those rules are harsh and effect our standard of living we vote them out .This has just happened with covid .Do we want a world were we cannot travel or go to mass entertainment .I think the answer is no so what is your solution to this problem for those all over the world
“You need to be wealthy to afford to care ” BULLSHIT! What a ridiculous statement.
It has been proven over and over and over again what utter crap you talk Trevor.
The wealthy have never cared about anyone but themselves. Christ why do you think we have poverty?! Why do you think the rich are rich, they give to the poor?
Of course its exponential.
That’s the true mathematical result of net positive feedback.
Its certainly exponential but what is also certain is that the greens, tpm or any NZ politician cant do fuck all to prevent it. They can virtue signal though.
The IPCC barely included the impacts of the oceans on climate change until less than three years ago, and is still under by at least an order of magnitude if not two.
The massive increase in surface sea temperatures is to be highly expected, as when the oceans warm up thermoclines form whereby cold water and warm water are separated by the thermocline which acts as a physical barrier to the flow of nutrients, and so the warm water that floats on top becomes devoid of nutrients and the phytoplankton dies and sinks.
This is the real issue, as those phytoplankton absorb more CO2 than the tropical rainforests.
So of course you will have a exponential increase, just about every component of global warming has a positive feedback loop.
The very fact that climate models rely almost solely on surface temperatures shows precisely how arrogant humans have begun – we only measure those numbers that affect us directly even though the ecosystems that matter are 3 dimensional.
The time frame is irrelevant in any case, as no action will ever be taken to change the course, panic will ensue when it is far too late.
I am not rich but can afford to pay $12 for a dozen eggs but now families have to choose between extra bread or less eggs. It is the poor that suffer to give the wealthy a clear conscience. That was the point I was making .It was the same with covid those with effected business got help from the government. I bet tourist operators in Fiji did not and they would have lost everything.
it is likely that the scientific models have leaned towards understated predictions – the consequences of publicly overstating risk being difficult to survive professionally.
But lets fill NZ up with even more migrants, so that we have no hope of meeting our Kyoto commitments and must make massive penalty payments – actual planning is far too hard for our childish governments.
