That’s weather changing Sour Unkraut, not climate.

Not at all Nathan, your excrement is in every comment. “Hot fumes at an airport” is part of your argument on non existent global warming.
What a pile of shit unless as gagarin stated “awaiting that citation”?

In reply to cp. Cheers to you cp - it's refreshing to read some thoughtful and practical ideas. We need to have a sneer sometimes, a laugh sometimes, a complaint, but all the time be thinking about how the people can come up from under the weight of the money-mad and delirious-style, mad social climbers. Be thinking, discussing, learning, listening, debating and planning and then doing; how we should manage, could manage, and must try things from an alternative university of Practical Social Democracy, as our alma mater. (Perhaps make Terry Pratchett our dead hero? and join the Unseen University as an imaginative exercise for the more prosaic amongst us. Trying to proceed as individuals we will be pissing into the wind. Uugh!

I think there is some misunderstanding around this. We are not heading into a “hot house” as in the Northern hemisphere and parts of Australia (effects of a continental mass) NZ is different geographically as Martin infers. However we will not escape climate change. We will first see more concentrated and numerous extreme weather events. This is as a result of a essentially more energised weather system. NZ is like a small boat in the middle of the ocean and does not suffer from having Africa and the Sahara to the south firing intense heat domes over it – they can extend from Australia but have normally lost most of their potency by the time they reach us. The threat to us is more likely to be much higher levels of precipitation falling as both rain and snow and higher wind levels rather than long lasting anticyclonic, life threatening, heat bubbles. All of this happens until a new equilibrium is reached and that will be a cold one (new ice age). The debate is around how fast this will happen and how can we best prepare for it because it should be clear to all by now that it can’t be stopped.

You talk shit Nathan. But alas, everyone’s entitled to their opinion, even the extremely uneducated like yourself. Leave the science to the scientists and you stick to putting your finger out the window to see what the weathers doing.

I think that The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham is good reading for now. How to cope with a situation that must be fled from but keep thinking and managing to stay on top of the situation, and trying to keep one’s humanity and do good where possible but with wisdom. How best to cope and have a goal and seek people who haven’t abandoned their desire to the follow the golden rule, the idea of sharing and respect for others and the world.

John W kept his belief in love and commitment in front of him in his writings mostly I think. And hope is there in the stories, but also certainty might grow that there is none, and risk or self-sacrifice may be needed as in the end of The Midwich Cuckoos.
