We need to look at our own country, as NZ is in no way exempt. Climate Change is definately here in New Zealand and it grates me when people still walk around with their heads in the clouds about it. I am in a highly orographic area of the North Island where the climate is a serious decline and is picking up momentum. I’ve started to photograph the updraft storms, but it is hard work in sub-zero wind, with polar storms coming at you from several directions. I had one blow up where I was standing this winter just gone and was showered in ice, sleet and hail, twas a shocker. It is basically a polar storm updraft literally exploding at or near ground level. What I didn’t realise at the time, was that I was being blasted by and photographing a New Zealand first with these appallingly cold storms. They’re advanced Climate Change and we’ve been blasted by them since about 2009. I learnt to recognise them on the radar through the cell expansion and low level yellow. Shame though no one else did and bigger shame on them for refusing to release their radar. MetService … you really suck for that. If I feel brave enough, I’ll go out in a full on SE this winter and try to grab some really good stuff of them.  Yes folks Climate Change is well and truly here in NZ, and it “will” be like a stick of dynamite for New Zealand due to our location. It has the potential to isolate Wellington. SH1 and the gully route are already already in big trouble … give it time. The scary thing is if updrafts start blasting up on SH1 and that is a very real possibility. Kapiti Island, that beautiful sanctuary full of precious and rare Taonga blasted in July 2013. I worry about winter to come and about how long we’ve got left here, which makes me feel impatent with NIWA taking so long, but can fully understand why and the massive implications they will be facing. Not easy. I worry about Climate Change and Transhit wanting to put more and more roads into the hills and along the coast is a nightmare. We don’t need more pollution going up into the mountains here, they’re in trouble now. This little area is all set up and poised to deal a major blow to the country. Who would ever have guessed it’d come from here, let alone in the North Island.

I wouldn’t be worried about Climate Change being the cause of the collapse of Humanity and Society, the climate has changed since the beginning of the planet and has not been the cause of civilisation collapses. I would put more emphasis on the monetary fraud we are all a part of each day as being the main cause of the collapse.

We need only look to the US and QE or the printing of money to keep the monetary “balloon” afloat, that will burst sooner than later. I’d also be concerned about the goal of huge corporates like Monsanto who are looking to develope their own range of GMO seeds and then have them patented so we all need permission to grow our own veges etc, they are on the way to that now. People may also want to look at the Agenda 21 being a UN sponsored programe to control us all, heard of it? No I hadn’t until a few years ago – not nice.

So basically what I’m saying is that when push comes to shove, any civilisation has its breaking point and when the population is confronted with continued rising prices of everything essencial, having controls put on their everyday activities by Fascist councils and governments, thats when the sloppy stuff will hit the fan big time, just wait and see folks, a night in front of Coro will soon be only a thought not a past time.
