This is a hard discussion to have on an open forum, and it is a conversation that will be ongoing.

Some guys are clearly waiting for the end of the world as we know it, really soon.
Like all the other doom merchants over history who have predicted "the end of the world is neigh".

I personally like science as it tries to give credible answers to what we can and can't see around us.
I don't think science is the answer to all out problems, but it does give us scenarios for outcomes we might expect depending on how we do or don't react to that science.

Greetings @akaroa1,
Thanks for that. I had spotted that climate change had not appeared in the various threads to date and thought it was something that needed airing. I anticipated the responses received but have a pretty thick skin so it was worth a crack.
Although the deer and other game may be resilient our roading network is not. Gabrielle all but destroyed road access to the Kawekas and 5 months later significant sections still have to be restored. Gabrielle also showed how at risk some of our other infrastructure is. Flooding in and around Napier was significant which makes me wonder what Napier will look like with the expected sea level rise. Houses I drive past on my way to town, recently constructed without thought about flooding, remain unoccupied and their eventual fate is unknown. The world and our understanding of it has changed and we must change with it or suffer the consequences. Quite agree that science can only supply the answers and it is the people and their Governments that have the key to dealing with them. Some problems only need a non asset solution.
Regards Grandpamac.

Generally we are leaving it to our children and grandchildren to deal with.

dead right,coz most are too weak to stand up to what they know to be wrong but will comply anyway for their own immediate comfort and convenience.
And too lazy to think outside their square,what they are told.
Your grandchildren won't be dealing with anything because you're giving away their freedom by your subscription to and compliance with nonsence

"Well, you did say that the grand plan will be complete by 2025"

Ah,not reading the words does make comprehension difficult
No,I said the INTENTION is to control weather worldwide by 2025.
