1. Surprise surprise…Why is the Heralds coverage of the corruption trial of ‘former’ Auckland Transport senior manager Murray Noone and roading contractor Stephen Borlase, in the ‘Business’ section…not the ‘Crime’ section?.

2. Hardly a day passes without a severe (and ultimately deadly) increase in atmospheric CO2 being reported.

   Daily CO2
   September 26, 2016:  400.91 ppm
   September 26, 2015:  397.51 ppm

   Up 3.40 ppm date-to-date versus the recent average of 2.11 ppm per annum, and over four times the initial average of just 0.73 ppm per annum when continuous measurement commenced.

   The insane culture that emerged on this planet is now wrecking thermal stability, climate stability and biosphere stability (and a lot of other aspects) more than four times faster than just 60 years ago. And ‘no one’ is bothered.

   1. http://disinfo.com/2013/01/atmospheric-oxygen-levels-are-dropping-faster-than-atmospheric-carbon-levels-are-rising/

      Evidence from prehistoric times indicates that the oxygen content of pristine nature was above the 21% of total volume that it is today. It has decreased in recent times due mainly to the burning of coal in the middle of the last century. Currently the oxygen content of the Earth’s atmosphere dips to 19% over impacted areas, and it is down to 12 to 17% over the major cities. At these levels it is difficult for people to get sufficient oxygen to maintain bodily health: it takes a proper intake of oxygen to keep body cells and organs, and the entire immune system, functioning at full efficiency. At the levels we have reached today cancers and other degenerative diseases are likely to develop. And at 6 to 7% life can no longer be sustained.
