  2. Martyn commented on the “Nation” program this weekend as a GOOD PIECE OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURALISM’

    MY INTERPRETATION OF THE PROGRAM.

    Another Magical expose’ of National’s spin and diversion of the truth by selective |cherry picking” to show results that falsely benefit the national Party at their expense of telling the truth to the public.

    The MSM is our last opportunity to tell the truth, but will they finally step up and act responsibly to tell the honest truth as to the real facts surrounding all these public issues.

    I hope the MSM finally help the public to know the real facts.

    As to Martyn’s praise for Patrick Gower and the team investigation of the PM and the Saudi sheep deal.

    It was an important change from the usual hollowed out “Nation” programming and showed some serious investigative Journalism integrity finally.

    I am concerned that this comes hard on the heels of rumours of a proposal for Media works and a merging with publically funded TV1 as there I see a possible reason for this change of heart for media work’s to come out with some sweeteners for public consumption of some “real hard hitting investigative programming to quell the worries for us about if the marriage of Media works and TV 1 do combine, that we will view the media works as becoming a REAL journalistic media?

    The streams usually run from east to west but new data shows that the Northern Hemisphere’s streams have changed path and linked with streams in the south.

    “Welcome to climate chaos. We must declare a global climate emergency” warned Paul Beckwith, a climate scientist from the University of Ottawa, when analyzing data from Earth Nullschool. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/250hPa/equirectangular=-180.00,0.00,320/loc=-145.222,0.652

    Beckwith explained the data in a video online in which he warned it could disrupt the world’s food supply and lead to “massive geopolitical unrest.”

    Scientists have observed an “unprecedented” event that could lead to an end of seasons as we know them, after Northern Hemisphere jet streams crossed the equator and linked with others in the south.

    Usually separated entirely from each other by the equator where warm air acts as a barrier, both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere consist of jet streams made up of either warm moist air or cold dry air.

    We have warned in our last email (below) that our lack of action to reduce CO2 emissions’ has caused the alteration for our protective jet streams made up of either warm moist air or cold dry air will now take our climate changes now into a new and severely turbulent future of floods and severe weather events.

    This evidence is sufficient for urgent action to now be taken to change our transport modes to return freight to rail at every opportunity we can find.

    Re-open all NZ regional rail services including the mothballed the Gisborne to Napier rail and restoration of lost freight to Palmerston North rail freight and restore all passenger rail services.

    Cost is not an option to consider any longer as salvation of our planet now exceeds any other consideration.
