| 736439 | 2009-01-09 21:37:00 | Our tiny contribution???????????? Have you looked around recently, the world's eco-system is being devastated by the activities of mankind. The signs are everywhere and reported daily in the newspapers and on the internet, this year was the 7th hottest year on record, the arctic ice is the smallest it has ever been, forests in Siberia are falling over as the perma-frost thaws, that has never happened before in human history. Well established communities in Iceland and around he Arctic are having to leave and abandon their ancient lifestyles because the creatures they rely on are no longer there in sufficient quantities. The Amazon rain forests are being chopped down/disappearing and this is going to have an effect that no one can predict but it is not going to be good. Not bothering to mention owr use of fossil fuels and all the other contributing factors we are doing which are adding to upsetting the stability of the feed-back loops which maintain the balance between the energy at the Equator and the Poles to put it simply. As soon as the sine wave turns into a square wave because the loops have lost control we will be heading into a new ice age, good luck with that, I have seen evidence of terminal moraines on the Canterbury Plains that look like glaciers a quarter of a mile thick made them. There are more people alive now at this very moment than have ever lived on Earth before 1950, you think about that. Well at least the Glaciers are advancing at the moment and the hydro lakes are all full - and if you'd been in Jackson Bay on New Year's Eve like me - global warming wouldn't have being weighing heavily on your mind. |

| 736442 | 2009-01-10 02:32:00 | If the Jackson Bay mentioned is the one down Haast way then the road is no different to any other road, except very scenic as the roads down there are. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 736443 | 2009-01-10 04:23:00 | Luck hua 12 volts I have always wanted to go to Jackson Bay what is the road like? It's a sealed highway of State Highway standard and goes through some beautiful bush and across several fairly wide and impressive rivers. Also has the only Penguins crossing road signs I've ever seen and you get to have fish and chips when you get there. Well worth the side trip from Haast. |
