Inertia drives demand from the damned
& the guardianship of sequestered Gravity...Gravity causes the phenomenon of natural precession (precession not using a man-made forcing torque). It is common knowledge that a spinning precessing rotor has a reduced level of inertia and angular momentum in the direction of precession while it is precessing, although that process is currently not well understood or agreed upon.
A process of precession proceeds on the precept
of probable practical principals

Envirologue: The Agony of Vanuatu and…, in reply to Peter Shaw,
Reality tends to show the error of faith based reasoning, even if it does take time, and cause unnecessary suffering, which the policies endorsed by the IPCC have demonstrably done.

Envirologue: The Agony of Vanuatu and…, in reply to Carol Stewart,
I don't think that's quite fair, Steve.
I had been tracking this cyclone for a few days previous to it striking Vanuatu and couldn't understand why the Met service was saying it would track that far east as the small cyclone off the northern coast of Australia would tend to pull it westwards, as it did. It was only after Pam had passed south of the Australian system that it tracked east, putting Vanuatu clearly in its path.

I really can't see the problem. Climate change has and continues to be observed and is inextricably linked to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
The human race has been pumping CO2 into the atmosphere for over 200 years and has increased that amount year after year.
Whether or not Humans are totally or in part responsible for that change is a moot point but it would take a complete self centred moron to claim putting more CO2 into the atmosphere is the correct thing to do.

On a side note...
I was appalled this morning when I watched the early News..
49 "Kiwis" were flown home on a Hercules aircraft.
My first thought was "Why didn't they get out earlier?" I was gobsmacked to hear the next statement. "Nobody knew it was going to be this bad, the first thing we knew it was on us, nobody was prepared"
Considering this has been forefront on the News for the last week here with panicky scare stories of what a disaster it was going to be I was outraged that , even though we are spying on these people for the Americans, nobody thought to let them know what was going on or how bad it could be for them.
And of course, the real "story" was that "Kiwis" were in danger.
Sucks to be brown eh?. -

Envirologue: 1080, "eco-terrorism" and agendas, in reply to tussock,
Which depends on how much of those accompanying tax cuts shift overseas
Not just those tax cuts but all imports, overseas investors repatriating profits, re-insurance. All those things effectively mean borrowing to support "Unsustainable Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" maybe there's a TV show in that.

I hadn't seen this 'till today...
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like the bit of wood next to a nail.
