Fear Mongering

What a shocking headline. 'Hawkes' Bays Climate Future Revealed.' -drought, floods and more hot days.

The Climate Action Joint Committee, that had two Hawkes Bay councils pull out , commissioned a report that looks like it is full of the climate garbage circulating the world and unfortunately in Hawkes Bay we lack any objective approach at a time when it is an extremely sensitive situation.

The report reveals an increased risk of ex tropical cyclones , droughts and flooding.

This is scurrilous because not only is it wrong but it will cause fear amongst many and will lead to massive expenditure that will be totally unjustified.

A report like this will also give ammunition to Government and interested authorities to enact unnecessary moves that will see more red tape and irreversible decisions affecting most likely the wrong people.

There are well qualified scientists out there screaming the fact that cyclones are not increasing in either events or intensity.

Even the IPCC is agreeing that events are not increasing in number.

Using incorrect assumptions is basing on criminality .Rating people on flawed advice will penalise people  and in time will distort demographic distribution in the area.

Climate change is being weaponised and utilised for the wrong reasons.

The climate has always changed and always will.

It looks like no lessons have been learnt from Gabrielle and maybe the Wairoa Council have a better understanding after being crushed by the weather.
