| 863053 | 2010-03-02 04:44:00 | Have these people never heard that more eggs should not mean less baskets (www.nzherald.co.nz), and untested (on any reasonable scale) baskets at that, to hold those eggs? What is the fall back option? The scientists can flock off overseas, but just a small slip in the science could really drop land values. Ah well, it's only farmers (and anyone else staying here) that will be upset. |

Yet again just recently with reference to Hutt River toxicity, ecoli and toxic algae, a Regional Council spokesperson ducked the issue of laying blame fairly and squarely at farmers who are polluting the Mangaroa tributary to the Hutt, by lamely saying that most streams and rivers contain cyanobacteria. Yes, that may well be so, but they require feeding with effluent/nitrates to form toxic algae mats, which she ommitted to say, putting all the blame on low flows and warm water. Toxic algae matts do not occur in the Hutt where there is no farm run off, no matter how low the flow, or how high the temperature, as anyone who has tramped in the catchment area could testify. There.....rant over....:clap |
