Thanks Robert ... my understanding is that in the purity of their belief the Greens are blocking farmers from getting some variety of grass which reduces to some extent rmmisions ..... sorry if I have been mis-informed But..... I didn't know about the ...
Sadly I agree with you but would ask how different is the current mob running the country, So pre-ocupied with doing it themselves they have failed to enlist the support of business who in a small way, despite everything, have and are showing the way. Way ...
Refreshing common sense from a person connected to the land.
I mentioned elsewhere yesterday my concern at the tomfoolerly of greenies blocking farmers attempts to reduce emmisions ... I used to support the Green Party but I am wiser these days as I realise their un-intended intentions will ruin NZ's economy. Since ...
Since I gather that The Greens are blocking the introduction of a grass which produces less harmful emmisions on being eaten I have given up on them as simply extremist/terorists [of a mild characrter] Purists are the worst type of terrorists.
I too do not believe there is a climate EMERGENCY although I believe CHANGE is happening . More important n my view is the other Paris resolution that FOOD PRODUCTION SHOULD NOT BE AFFECTED, Otherwise we will be cutting off our noses to smit our faces.
With regard to the current or recent huuhaa in Parliament I would point out that Guns do not kill people but the humans pulling the trigger or careless handling. It is easy to ban guns but what is being done about and for the human element in the problem?
I agree it is probably wishful thinking to imagine red and blue getting together. However, red seem only capable of spending money with little apparent regard for the consequences while blue make money and are needed with their system to make the money for...
Hiding away will not solve the problem and waiting for them to 'change'.
"Nats gone" illustrates the immaturity of thinking here. We must go forward together .... all parties working to preserve and make anything new work to save the world from the loss of human life.
I went to two firma before buying and bought from a third. How much more investigation does one need to do? think they were more interested is selling than advising.
When I built my house I used recycles windows ... wooden framed ... so it was easy to add 3mm acrylic on simple wooden frames. I first did my main living area and from a gas fire went to a small heater. It was wonderful ... so as finance made it possible I...
$2500 was for a 5.5kw which was what the floor area indicated byr consumer advice. That is about mid price for such heaters and ridiculous for a 45 square metre cottage. Personal heating is 'much more warmer" if only for its immediate area.
I think it depends of what you want in heating.... Also if you can afford to run it .... I could but decided it was a waste of money and was happy with personal heating rarely more than 800w and in warmer weather just 400w. For a couple of months the bill ...
Only those without experience of heat pumps will think it a good idea. Been there and mine sits an idle monument to my falling into the trap of the HP lobby. $2500 wasted :-(
It is nice that Red Blooded One is happy to install a heat-pump but the problems with them is that unless rarely uese the poor person cannot pay the cost of running them. Typical of the the minister to not appreciate the whole cost of buying and running ...
Further to my last point ... my son has central heating in the States where he lives these days but I remembering his wife telling me hat the price of electricity is much less there. I do not know the details but it seems to me that Govt should reduce the ...
If I heard correctly on RNZ this morning that there is a suggestion that all rental properties should heave a heater to bring them up to 18C ???? Franly a silly suggestion however well intended.. The trouble people, some idiots, seem to think you can swan ...
AOC is a complete twat from what I have read about her. If people cannot be rewarded for effort the world would become a morass of conformity and stagnation. Left is no different to the right that a select few reap the rewards of the contented masses.
My thoughts exactly Bwaghorn As for travelling alone in a large jet because it is there seems hypocritical too.
Prohibition is bad ....teaching responsible behavior is good.
As I reach the end of this thread it seems to me for all the weird and wonderful solutions suggested there is just one solution. Parents should bring up , should care for their children and teach them to follow the rules of our society. But if they were ...
It seems to me to be not just the parents who trained the kids but also the Grandparents who failed their children. Then there are the true 'snowflakes' who stop proper discipline of kids because some go overboard and put them in washing machines et al. If...
Another dose of bollocks and crap from TRP and his followers. Good riddance of bad rubbish. Sympathy to the police etc having to clear up the mess. Parents should know where their children are and both they and their children should learn to be responsible...
I doubt that it makes a drop of difference and Roberts' suggestion makes sense if you happen to own the land to do it on. Of course most people do not.
Having done a fair effort not to use plastic bags with starting Greenpeace sack bags , wheelie shoping bag etc I can see absolutely no point to the virtue signaling ban of plastic bags in various shops where the paper bags are a very poor substitute and ...
Every time I hear that folk have gone across the world by air to TALK about conservation etc I wonder why they do not instead use devices to do their talking from here which is very possible with group connections instead of bun fights overseas. I would ...
After I heard the reports about the reasons the Czech Govt had for taking him back I am not suprised that he fears for his life if he has to go back. Also the two trips back quite likely confirmed his belief.
Having been on most of the major AMTRAK routes I envisaged a system where tourist could travel from north to south simply getting off the train to cross Cook Strait while their coach was in the hold. If the coach containers where sleeping area as well the ...
I see a strong resistance from the trucking business to a lot of these ideas because the margins are so small that with owner businesses likely to fail if much changes for them. Also our social structure is organised around individual transport when public...
Think Hi-Rail David as I outlined a few contributions above :)
