This could be a challenge for dunners - was down there a couple of months ago and jeeze the water was puke then. About three-quarters of Dunedin's main water supply could be out of action for up to a year after a massive blaze engulfed an area near ...

rubbish - Greta is a hero and you are just envious. She is very brave to stick to the science when her haters just want to attack her personally - weak little humans her enemies are
yep - the malignant mango muppet has hurt so many with his actions - it will indeed take decades to unwind his malevolence.
Surprised no one has owned up yet because it looks like a bit of a win against the rats - I suppose the tests will show which poison got them - your scenario makes sense to me.
"silly" may be a bit harsh - might be a generational thing

yep ot is still pretending that based on incomplete and outdated information they were justified in trying to take this baby - this shows how sick the culture from the top is - meanwhile they blame everyone else and pretend to take responsibility - not ...
the extreme left, as you call us, is the group forcing change - without that pressure, from the many very worried about the disaster unfolding, nothing would happen. Something is happening and it is not enough and too late but yay for doing something
