summer?
summer is just round the corner here in nz. we are at the end of our spring. the govt have been warning us about global climate change/warming, how it will affect us, what we can do to reverse the trends we are observing. we now have snow and ice creeping up from the deep south. brrrr!sitting here in wellington, preparing to move south myself, i am hoping that the weather finishes it's cold burst before i get there.
i am, however, looking forward to our [me and the bros] trip to the caketin this weekend to watch the kiwis play gb in league. should be magic.
a shame that the nzrl have mucked up the administration of my favourite game. the pussies couldn't organise a blow job in a brothel.Labels: climate change, global warming, ice, snow
interesting
the first task has arrived to do with my new job [coach]. i haven't even started yet!it seems that one of my soon to be athletes has a stress fracture in her lower back. i got this plaintive e-mail asking for my advice. it felt good to be useful. the usual advice, see the sport physician, get a definitive diagnosis, put a rehab plan in place ..... etc, etc. the contract is agreed to, the moving day decided, travel booked on the ferry to cross the cook straight, my moving allowance [from them] is in the bank. all good. i even have somewhere to live organised. time to let my guitar students know it's all about to end. one more lesson to go.
at last, our govt has caught on to the " climate change/global warming " problem we will all face in about 10-15 years. our science fraternity are busily arguing the "pros" and "cons" and seem to be hung up on the name of this impending economic and ecological disaster. what a pack of munters. upon reading about the phenomenon i found out that "climate change" is the general term and "global warming" one of the specific scenarios that can manifest inside of "climate change."
"The term "global warming" is a specific case of the more general term "
climate change" (which can also refer to "
global cooling," such as occurs during
ice ages). In principle, "global warming" is neutral as to the causes, but in common usage, "global warming" generally implies a human influence. However, the
UNFCCC uses "climate change" for human-caused change, and "climate variability" for other changes
[5]. Some organizations use the term "anthropogenic climate change" for human-induced changes."
freaky huh?
