1196330 2011-04-23 10:49:00 Oh and stop being a big girl's blouse Mikebartnz.
I will do a deal with you. I will stop being a big girls blouse when you stop being so pathetic.

1196331 2011-04-23 11:00:00 Sadly, the world is full of organisations like the NZ Dept of Conservation.
Wait, what? And you'd rather have no protection of natural assets from pillaging of private sectors bent on the destruction of said natural assets, leave the poorer public to deal with their aftermath, while they reap the benefits of destroying shared natural assets?

You are either unfamiliar with the term 'tragedy of the commons' (en.wikipedia.org), and/or amazingly delusional and stupid.

EDIT: I just thought that your comment could be perceived in two ways, the first of which I reacted to, and the second where you regret that the world NEEDS organisations like DoC. If it were the second you meant, then I apologise. If you meant the first, then I stand where I stand.

1196332 2011-04-23 20:38:00 Well, I know I’ve said it before but here goes again.

1: Five miles up in the air it is -50 degrees Celsius.

2: It is the atmosphere that acts as a blanket and stops us all freezing to death.

3: If temperatures were to rise a degree or two on average so what? They rise and fall 10 or more degrees almost every day and nobody seems to notice. :D

4: The Global Warming Lobby have hoodwinked a lot of suckers, and if you need proof, have a look at their pictures of coal fuelled Power Stations with all that pollution pouring from those big chimneys. Well those big chimneys just happen to be cooling towers and what you’re looking at is water vapour not smoke. This is just one example of the lies that have been propagated by them.

5: And it doesn’t matter anyway, because the bees are dying and that in turn will be the demise of the world! (TV3 news last night.) We can help here because we have a beehive available if we can kick all the incumbent drones out. :thumbs:

1196333 2011-04-24 01:46:00 Perhaps lowering your intake of Tequila may help. Science says too much salt is bad for you.

Steady there Snorkbox, that was almost funny. But if you recall I'm searching for my lost shaker of salt, so sodium chloride is not currently an issue.

No I'd hate to be the one to inhibit your natural tendencies, you carry on being a big girl's blouse (www.urbandictionary.com) as long as you like. :lol::lol:

Well I know you were searching for your lost shaker of salt in an alternative reality. I take it that your new Margarita recipe does not call for salt. :horrified

You have not found said shaker then so I guess the loss is semi-temporary-permanent

NaCl can be found in Wellington Harbour as it happens. Pop down there carrying a large metal container. Fill the container with seawater. Take it to a source of heat and boil said liquid until only the salt remains. Don't collect the seawater too close to the old abbatoir outflow as you might collect bullshit as well. That would be the scientific method. Or you could consider going and buying salt and a new shaker.

I'm not sure that we need to know your habits of crawling around old outflows looking for BS, but I'm sure that we can take you at your word that you know where BS can be found as we've seen a lot of it from you.

Apparently your hero though now claims he can't make predictions (www.nzherald.co.nz) for fear of his life, but of course he goes on to make another prediction in any event.

But as you have yet to tell us what your alternative to the scientific method is, I think it is a rather easy victory by knock out in the first round for the scientific method over your flim-flam.

1196337 2011-04-24 03:08:00 12v you were warned in another thread and don't seem to have learnt. mikebartnz (21)

The lack of bees certainly worries me far more than so called global warming.
I wish more had been done to stop the damage done by the veroa bee mite.

The demise of bees is critical to plant life and by extension, our own lives. The causes appear to be global warming. Bees are acutely sensitive to temperature and only gather nectar when the temp is right. The plants they visit are also controlled by climate and are opening out of sync.

On top of that, bees in the USA are dying from a virus which came from Australia, and because of temperature/climate changes, the virus is abnormally vigorous. Australian bees have an immunity.
