    So I suppose Michael Schumaker just messed around in cars? And the Formula One circuit is a nothing financially?

    Why yes Michael Schumacher did just mess around in cars. Of course he only ever raced for German teams...no wait it was an Italian team ... and when he lost the World Championship it cost Germany millions .. no wait they still race there as well as the rest of the world...

  • Hard News: No Friends of Science,

    Had to laugh at the NIWA 'prediction' of the glaciers receding in Westland, while the Franz is currently advancing ! ( no mention that the glacial maximum was reached in about 1830 which was the end of the Little Ice Age)

    Sorry Steve Curtis but you are wrong. The Glacial maximum for Franz Josef was when it used to stick out into the Tasman Sea about 15 000 years ago. Yes it has advanced and retreated a few time since then. And yes it is currently advancing. However the overall general trend is retreat. Wait a couple of years and it will start retreating again.

    I predict that NIWA's prediction will come true,
