Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Sacha,
Just a faint hint of supercilious superiority there Sacha.
That's not really you is it? :-) -
Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Islander,
Great red herring/ ad hominem non- argument.
The climate projection was from the UK Met office .
Perhaps you could drop them a line and tell them how you know that they are talking bollocks.
Leave the media out of it.Have you ever thought that all true sciences share the scientific method?
Things like “no causation without correlation”, and “disproving the null hypothesis” : you know , that sort of basic stuff
It seems that argumentum ad verecundiam is your preference. -
Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Russell Brown,
It seems that you believe too much of what you read. The science of climate continues to develop, and there is no reason for despair.
Actually, recent news suggests there is cause to be very, very concerned.
For those who have been able to maintain an open mind on the science of climate.

Is $14 per day the going rate in Saudi?
FG thinks that was in reference to the Phillipines, the subject of the preceding paragraph.

Hard News: Fact and fantasy, in reply to Chris Waugh,
dodgy operators in the milk powder export
Not sure what you are referring to there. The NZ Food Safety Authority is not to be trifled with. And they're heavy.
Perhaps you mean the Asian NZers who buy tins of powder at the supermarket and export them? -
Mid summer feeding frenzy:

Farmer Green regards the NZ Forest Dept decision to go with Pinus radiata rather than Cupresssus macrocarpa (or lusitanica) as one of our worst national decisions.
The necessity for copper , chrome and arsenic treatment of pine means that we went up a dead end .
Just imagine if we had put all that development work into any of the cypresses , including C. leylandii.
Of course forest monoculture was always a stupid idea , but we didn;t have to shoot ourselves in the foot TWICE. -

"exaggerated stamen"?
Farmer Green thinks that a closet cloaca might be a more apt analogy.
