“A link between climate change and Joplin tornadoes? Never!” - by frog
Caution: It is vitally important not to make connections. When you see pictures of rubble like this week’s shots from Joplin, Mo., you should not wonder: Is this somehow related to the tornado outbreak three weeks ago in Tuscaloosa, Ala., or the enormous outbreak a couple of weeks before that (which, together, comprised the most active April for tornadoes in U.S. history). No, that doesn’t mean a thing. read moreMay 29, 2011 3:46 pm - 41 Comments -

Scientists believe this would keep the global temperature rise to less than 2C. Meanwhile, the NACT government struggles with denial. National’s “target” is a 50% reduction [...] read moreJune 9, 2009 7:00 am - 42 Comments -
Farmers’ markets - by frog
Today and tomorrow many thousands of New Zealanders will be visiting their local farmers markets around the country, neatly skirting around New Zealand’s supermarket duopoly, and trading directly with the people who grow their food. Radio New Zealand’s Country Life currently has an interesting podcast documentary on the Hamilton Farmers’ Market, which is giving small [...] read moreJanuary 26, 2008 8:37 am - 17 Comments
