Well the usual spring dump of snow has finally arrived. About a week late by my reckoning so maybe there is something in this Climate Change lark!
Anyway, snow is pretty. So here’s a few photo’s from out and about near Arrowtown today.

By noon the snow was melting away but as I type this at 2pm, there is a veritable blizzard happening outside my office window. I wonder what the morning will bring?

The lesson from this interview is neither to minimise climate risks nor to exaggerate them. It is to use climate science responsibly. Communities deserve planning that is scientifically robust, legally defensible and fair.
Innovation is in New Zealand farming’s DNA. Farming has overcome seemingly impossible obstacles before, including producing competitively for markets on the opposite side of the world.
Clark and Brash have spent years insisting we must never upset China. They treat any criticism of Beijing as dangerous. Peters said out loud what many New Zealanders think.
