Give It A Miss!

 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. 

 

Yet More Waste!

 The Headline:

Emissions reduction plan focuses on "the big dots" to move NZ in "the right direction" - Simon Watts

 From the story:

"The new reduction plan includes investing in electric car chargers, waste minimisation, and planting thousands of hectares of pine and native trees."

 What a fucking waste of time, money and effort!

The World needs MORE CO2, leading to more plant growth and "greening". The world also needs more thought into how to mitigate climate change rather than misguided attempts to beat nature by stopping it and, based on the bloody cold, awful winter in New Zealand, more warming.

The goals: More electric car chargers simply means more support for the rich fuckwits who virtue signal by driving a vehicle that costs the environment, over it's life, more than any ICE vehicle does - although probably a few child-labour slaves die gathering rare metals for each car's construction so the planet benefits that way. 

More trees: Private enterprise will happily do this if the bloody Govt. would get the hell out of their way - and they'd do it cheaper and better.

More waste-minimilisation: They could start by stopping waste of tax-payer money but instead keep pretending that a group of 5 million people can have an effect on the waste production of 8 billion. By all means continue advertising on this but don't increase anything else - particularly don't increase the spend.

Let New Zealand lead the World, let New Zealand stand up proudly and state, boldly: "Fuck this, People come first!"
