The Standard had better hope that these lawyers don't read this post and sue The Standard. "In the coming weeks, we will be carefully reviewing all of the false accusations and threats made against Nick. We fully expect that a multitude of civil lawsuits ...
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception has confirmed that protesters led by the Native American activist Nathan Phillips attempted to disrupt the celebration of Mass on the evening of Jan. 19. ... while Mass was being celebrated, ...
I have separate wiring from my garage to power points upstairs and downstairs in my house. In the garage I can plug a wire into the generator or inverters. None of that goes near the grid power. I also have a battery and inverter in a box that I can carry ...
I bought a 4-stroke petrol 2500watt generator for about $350 from Repco. It's not sine wave but it runs everything in the house except for one old CRT TV (and obviously not the stove). I have run a cable over the fence to keep the neighbour's freezer ...
I have advocated at WINZ (or whatever stupid name they have from time to time) for a number of people. It is my impression that WINZ are even more incompetent and ridiculous under a National government. One of their clients was alleged to owe $25,000 and ...
But voting for Goldsmith doesn't mean "an extra seat for natz". You will observe that Goldsmith has always lost to the ACT candidate and yet has been a National list MP since he first stood as a candidate. I implore Labour and Green Epsom voters to do what...
The 7000 Epsom voters who voted for the Labour or Green candidates are particularly stupid. If they had voted for Goldsmith instead, then Seymour and the ACT party would be out of Parliament. Can you people get it right for next time? Do you really not ...
But that hoarding is on a private fence. The owners are free to cover up an unauthorised hoarding if they want. Why did Labour think they could put a hoarding there?
A new party like TOP will not get over 5% or win Epsom. I don't think the Nat supporters are as clever as Karen thinks they are. I'm hoping that Morgan will pinch enough of Seymour's votes that Goldsmith could win. So it is essential that in Epsom, Green ...
The Edgecumbe flood would not have happened if someone had built the stopbank in an adequate manner, i.e. the way they have now done it. But no, years ago someone built an L-shaped concrete wall with no proper foundations. On the day of the flood there was...
Methane in the air is 1800 parts per billion, or 0.00018%. Why does anyone think that could cause a change in climate? So, ignoring methane would cut NZ's farming emissions to about zero. Problem solved, $14 billion saved. Besides, including methane, NZ's ...
This site shows an approximately real time view of the winds, and it was obvious where the cyclone would go: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-186.92,-38.70,1349/loc=175.857,-34.181 You say: "No-one of significance ...
Have a look at the 1 metre prediction for Auckland. Much of the CBD and seaside suburbs are below the 1 metre level. Anyway, what datum are they talking about? Mean Sea Level? Mean High Water Springs? Highest Astronomical Tide? I assume it's MHWS.
Congratulations Michael Wood! The other candidates seemed bloody hopeless.
Engineers have acknowledged that the foundations of the NW motorway were inadequate. The flooding is nothing to do with sea level rise. nzta.govt.nz/projects: "The Waterview to Rosebank section of SH16 runs on a causeway built on soft marine mud. Since it ...
The mean of the highest tides in Auckland for 2012 to 2015 is lower than the mean of the highest tides from 1903 to 1912. So the level of the highest tides is now lower than 100 years ago. Sea levels in Auckland are falling. The land by the tide gauge is ...
The link you quoted shows "mean sea level". That is quite stupid if you want to know about potential flooding, like that which occurred on 23 Jan 2011. Obviously we want to know the highest tides each month, which is what my graph shows (using the same ...
Thank you very very much for the erroneous sea level data that they will have to fix.
Auckland sea level has been rising at 1.4mm per year for over 100 years. Since 2011 sea level has been falling. So no chance of flooding any time soon! The NZ government graphs have not been updated since about 2000. http://i63.tinypic.com/211sbus.jpg
"If you ignore increased temperature, drought and flooding and sea level rises" The sea level in Auckland has been falling for the last four years, if anyone bothered looking at the government-run tide gauge. If it's falling in Auckland it should be ...
I understand that the taxpayer subsidy of Tiwai is so high that it would be cheaper to give all the workers $200,000 per year to sit at home and do nothing. That being the case, shut down Tiwai and string up some more wires and use the power for the rest ...
Reb, yes many glaciers around the world are retreating, and a few are not. Apart from that, there's really nothing serious happening with the climate. This is not the place to discuss climate, as you will be attacked and ridiculed or censored. Oops, too ...
The Herald are still publishing this after Glucina 's articles: "Rachel Glucina is New Zealand’s reigning gossip queen, notorious for breaking celebrity scoops and dishing dirt on the country’s best known personalities. She’s feared. She’s loathed. She’s ...
Dear Labour and Green supporters who voted sensibly in Northland: thank you very much. In electorates such as Epsom, Ohariu and now Northland, there have been only two possible winners. It makes sense to vote for the one who is closer to your own interests...
Well if it's seen as an obvious fake then I suppose congratulations are in order for the posters in here. In other places I have posted this picture it starts a huge discussion about why National would have Sabin there. Well done! I assume you noticed the ...
So is the picture a fake then? Why would The Standard show a Photoshopped picture? Where did they get it from?
Why is Mike Sabin helping to put up billboards for Mike Osborne?
The headline on the Stuff site "Deceit no way to run the country" has now been replaced with "John Key's worst week ever". Around midnight the link to the article stopped working, as did the links on all sites that copy Stuff articles. I believe censorship...
According to Wikipedia the DSIR was reconstituted into profit-motivated entities called Crown Research Institutes by the Crown Research Institutes Act 1992. I guess that was National's fault then.
Well this is a sea change - The Standard is promoting Leyland's video and allowing comments from "deniers" to stay here, and Whaleoil has so far ignored Leyland's video.
I'd lke to know wny landline telephones in areas with power cuts don't get a dial tone. There are elderly people who can't communicate with friends and relatives. How hard is it to have a generator in the telephone exchanges? I have a generator just so I ...
