NZ can expect more big snowstorms
You might have had better luck selling ice to eskimos than peddling global warming theory on the streets of Wellington this week. After an almost unprecedented wall of snow and ice blasted its way up New Zealand to tickle the Bombay Hills, you could forgive the average frost-bitten person on the street for being a tad sceptical about our planet getting hotter.
At times like these, the inbox of James Renwick, principal climate scientist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, fills up with emails from disbelievers who tell him – in slightly more colourful terms – to look out his window.Freak weather occurrences, like the one-in-40-year storm that hit this week, actually offer no proof that the planet is getting colder or warmer, he says.
“When you look at the globe, New Zealand is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

This is a startling quote to file for safe-keeping. For example-
“When you look at the globe, the southern U.S. this summer is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
“When you look at the globe, the Arctic is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
“When you look at the globe, a bristlecone pine cluster is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
“When you look at the globe, Moscow in summer 2010 is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
“When you look at the globe, Paris in summer 2003 is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
“When you look at the globe, Washington, DC in the summer of 1988 is a tiny little patch on the Earth and to try and relate what is going on here, in terms of temperature, to global change is really meaningless.”
