How are you loving the potholes? Welcome to catastrophic global warming!
The funniest thing about the howls and screams of anger over potholes in NZ is that it’s mostly coming from the very type of people who also scream that global warming isn’t happening when in fact the extreme rain fall that is causing these potholes is because caused by the very global warming they claim doesn’t exist!
The pothole story sums up all that is glorious about Nu Zilind.
Rural volk driving on poorly maintained roads damaged by a trucking lobby who never pay their fair share of maintenance because of their stranglehold over the political right having those roads washed away by extreme weather events they don’t believe are happening!
Increasingly as the global warming phenomena becomes more and more impossible to ignore, these same Volk will start blaming everything and everyone else rather than accept the science of global warming.
We are locked into a global warming future that will only intensify, it won’t ever stop now, and the volk’s denial will melt away like a snowflake under the midday Sun.
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 – please donate here.

Maybe we should just take the train?…oh wait…we should all remember that ebikes can ride around potholes, there you go rural volk. Probably solved…
Hah. Await the reaction for the Co2 shortages to hit home. I’m stockpiling already.
Two issues – one of which I can answer – Climate Change is real. Too many Kiwis don’t appear to be capable of understanding that fact. Irrespective of who or what caused it – it is real. The unprecedented persistent rainfall has damaged roads which were unprepared for such pluvial devastation. The other, confounds me – why would Auckland elect a frail, champagne sipping, white male, heading down the slippery slope to octogenarianism who refuses to be interviewed along with other newly minted Mayors. What were you thinking? Although if he can fix Auckland’s potholes, then Simmy Brown will be a happy wee chappy!
Nothing to do with NZTA spending 26 million in refitting their offices and hiring a footie team of ‘communications experts’ ( ie spin merchants)?
On a ever so slightly related topic I see how E.Vs react rather badly when salty water, say from inundation from a hurricane or storm sea swell gets in contact with the batteries and causes a very hard to put out fire inside the car itself. This becomes a problem for the emergency services at an already difficult time.
There’s a co2 shortage, believe it or not , use to come from Marsden point refinery .
Some Breweries can’t fizz there beer.
This is serious…
