Thread: Climate

Greetings all,
After the non summer and autumn from hell I have been watching the stories of record heat and wildfires in the northern hemisphere and wondering what spring, summer and autumn in NZ will bring. The temperatures in the NH have been touted as the smoking gun for a warming climate driven by human driven carbon emissions which makes sense to me. An El Nino summer is predicted for this year which normally means screaming North Westerly winds, high temperatures and drought for Hawkes Bay. How additional heat from a warming climate effects this does not bear thinking about. There is however some hope. Recent research in Oz has suggested that a change in ocean currents may shift climate settings on the east coast of Oz more to the La Nina phase starting perhaps as early as 2025 and more likely by 2039. For the first time in my memory the grass in HB did not turn brown last summer and my sister tells me the same thing happened on her farm in NSW.
I guess the message I am trying to get across is that climate change is here and it is up to each of us how we adapt to it. Please think about that for a moment as it will effect our hunting.
Regards Grandpamac.

The Mrs is in the UK at present, visiting family. Has seen the sun about half a dozen times in the last month. Grey drizzle the rest of the time. So Its not blanket Northern Hemisphere.

We have burnt more firewood this calendar year so far than in the past 15 years living here in the CNI.

"Since records began" is a common catch cry: Records began (1880's) at the coldest period in the last 8-10,000 years. So all roads lead to a warming climate, for sure.

But the Romans didn't have coal fired power stations or Nissan Patrols, and it was a couple of degrees warmer then, than now.

So yes, she's gonna get warmer. Adapt. Get used to it.

But taxing us lots more is only going to make a few multinational companies and organisations much much richer, whilst impoverishing the vast majority of a Nation's citizens.

When the leaders of a Nation do something that benefits external and multinational entities whilst impoverishing its own people, I do believe there's a word for that.

Those bloody hot fires you have on special occasions only add towards global warming. Mine you it was so bloody cold they were needed

Unlike others, I can validly claim that I am merely recycling the CO2

You are also releasing stored solar energy, I am not sure if that is good or bad ?

Yes, but I planted 100 acres of Pines, starting back in 2018. They are flat out gobbling the stuff up, faster than I can burn my firewood.

In fact, we may have to have another forum burn off/piss up here on the farm, just to even the score and piss the greenies off

If we went fishing I could trade my two stroke pollution with your trees? That’s if it ever stops blowing on the lake

I MAY have some tree carbon to spare Mind you, I buy 2 stroke oil by the 20 litre container, so I am trying my hardest to get the equation back to zero

It’s definitely here and buying an EV won’t change it.

dam right there , it will make it a dam sight worse

Id love someone to try and convince me this is the hottest month we have had up here. I think you need sunshine for a start...

There's coal at the south pole. Wonder how that got there?

Very frosty here this morning.

I like it frosty. Usually means you get a nice day.

Im thinking that its going to be a hot dry summer though.

Real global warming around here today,top temperature will be 7c+.And the sun is shining all day.
