HEADLINE IN NEW ZEALAND MEDIA<\/p>\n
The New Zealand Rugby Union, and a huge proportion of New Zelanders want a new gigantic stadium so as to play sport and use it as an entertainment
\n complex in the city of Auckland.<\/p>\n
Many Aucklanders are interested in placing it on the wharves a few metres above sea level.<\/p>\n
COMMENT:<\/p>\n
Building a waterfront stadium a couple of meters above high water mark, shows that many New Zealanders appear to have their eye so focussed on the
\n ball that they are unaware of Climate Change.<\/p>\n
The NZ Herald recently published a computer generated picture of Queen's wharf virtually engulfed in water from the projected melting of the ice shelfs
\n in Antarctica and Greenland. Our collective amnesia has missed this very succinct point.<\/p>\n
Al Gore in proposing an Inconvenient Truth, projected all of Florida disappearing under a resurgent sea.<\/p>\n
This to happen over the next few decades, as global warming fueled by fossil fuel burning increases in intensity.<\/p>\n
However, there is an up side, a few short years after the World Cup when salt water starts flowing over the pitch, we can switch to swimming and morph
\n the stadium into an aquatic centre, then when the water reaches a dept of 5 meters or so, Kelly Tarlton's sharks can be released into the stadium,
\n and finally as we hit 2080, only 74 years away, we could have divers swim down and explore the short sightedness of a humanity who regretably didn't
\n plan for the prevailing weather conditions of our times.<\/p>\n

The North American Indians had a philosophy of looking seven generations ahead to see that the land was sustainable. We as a clever and agile country
\n need to embrace this concept.<\/p>\n
However, to end this posting, I am very confident that we will get through this crises, though it will be by humanity embracing another level of consciousness,
\n integrating quantum theory and entering the Noosphere, a high energy, synergistic frequency system. I cordially envite all of humanity to take this
\n offer and seriously consider it.<\/p>\n
Only good can come from this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I have to comment on what is taking up the hearts and minds of New Zealanders as we enter post, Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth.' No matter what you endeavour to convey, it just goes to show that average Kiwis are not looking out for their children's long term future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3717"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3828,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3717\/revisions\/3828"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourplanet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
