Time to pull the pin?
A satellite image showing Tropical Cyclone Tam on its way towards New Zealand in April 2025.
The NZ Herald, on the main page overnight, has the above picture and a column telling us about projected cyclones for the season ahead.
A normal NZH-type climate column; Lots of shock-horror, lots of "warmer oceans" type rhetoric.
The story is about the calamitous (based on the tenor of the column) prediction that there will possibly be between 5 and 9 cyclones this season.
The story then tells us, almost as an aside before charging ahead with the calamity theme, that the long-term average is 9 i.e. there will probably be less cyclones this summer.
The story is to serve one purpose only: to hammer the lie of global warming causing harmful weather.
The tactic and general theme is to try and scare anyone who doesn't read the full column or, given current education standards in Godzone, the many who have no comprehension of the English language
Surely it is time this sort of bullshit reporting ceased and news organisations returned to reporting news.
