The Northland Age

That’s interestin­g

-

Isn’t it interestin­g? At the present point of time we have Cyclone Oma hovering to the north of New Caledonia. Computer models differ in scenarios as to what direction it will take. One model has it heading towards Australia, another towards New Zealand, and yet a third model has the cyclone retreating back into the tropics.

From computer models we can’t even tell what the weather will be doing in five days’ time, but some scientists would have us believe we can tell what the climate will be doing in 50 years’ time. Go figure.

We often hear the old cliche´ from global warming alarmists, ‘The science is settled.’ The science is never settled until

something can be repeated under laboratory conditions. Scientific theories are constantly changing.

Kaitaia McDonald’s, two modern service stations, garages, Bunnings, top medical facilities and a host of other businesses servicing this bustling town and the surroundin­g area?

And how about the good parking where you can always find a spot? No gridlock here. I’m happy living here.
