Global Warming of Pacific Islands

Clive from Green Bay

A recent article in Western Leader started me thinking.
It appears from COP22 that Climate change has become a fact of life. It could be irreversible and continue for the next century.

A recent article in Western Leader started me thinking.
It appears from COP22 that Climate change has become a fact of life. It could be irreversible and continue for the next century.
The ratio of free oxygen in the air is 20% but the ratio of carbon dioxide has risen from 0.04% to nearly 0.1% which is what could be causing the change in climate. .
So to rebalance the planets ecosystems we need less carbon dioxide and/or more oxygen. Well, it could be the planets answer is to melt the tundra and permafrost around the poles to supply more oxygen but this will cause global warming and will surely cause the melt ice to increase the average ocean level a little.
In anticipation of this, governments everywhere should ban building within a metre or two of todays high tide sea level and plan for the evacuation of low level residents to new towns at a safe height above sea level.
Pacific Islanders particularly should not delay, as any outside assistance will be too late to avoid the flood disaster occurring but by all means play blame games to get green money from developed richer nations to clean up the damage done to their island.

Holly from Blockhouse Bay

Mama Cat is looking for her forever family. Could you be the one who gives her the life she deserves?

Mama Cat is looking for her forever family. Could you be the one who gives her the life she deserves?

Age: Between 1 and 3 (on vet estimate)

Desexed/microchipped: Yes

Temperament: Shy but can blossom into a smoochy, darling cat in the right home with patient and caring owners

Children/other pets: She should be fine with sensible children over 12, and should be fine with other calm pets in the home (after proper introduction)

Access: She will need to be an indoor-only cat or supervised outdoors as she has no teeth, so won't be able to fully defend herself against other animals

Ideally, Mama is looking for a quiet home where she can have the time and space she needs to adjust and learn that humans aren't so scary.

Mama was found raising her three kittens under a shed in June 2022 and has been fostered by me ever since. Once her kittens were grown and rehomed, we discovered she suffered from a painful disorder called Feline Stomatitis, which caused her body to attack her teeth and gums.

After a major surgery removing all of her teeth, Mama is now healthy and thriving and is looking for a loving home to spend her retirement in after going through such tough times!

She still happily eats biscuits and wet food.

When she was initially found, she was absolutely terrified of people and likely has lived on the streets her whole life. However, in the last few months, she's taken amazing strides and is bound to get even better once she's settled into her forever home.

If you're interested in meeting Mama, please message me.

Poll: Should our voting age be lowered to 16?

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Great size and I will miss her.

Supported on metal legs and has a dodgy hinge that gives her character that, once fixed, will make you very happy you found her.
