    yeh shaun - good points and I agree he's not a great advocate, but we are so starved of science reporting that it seemed like a breath of fresh air to have a scientist being listened to to by a journalist.

    it has NO legitimacy within Maori cosmology or former religious practise

    Is there a book on this? I've always wanted to understand maori philosophy, it seems ignorant not to know, being here and everything , i think this country needs some philosophy.

    The person (not a he) didnt want my help on global warming -they wanted my personal & credit card details.

    They almost certainly wanted you to join the green movement because it's a movement that doesn't take money from political parties or business because taking money from either institution is a corruption of its goals.

    It needs neutrality.It has a pretty decent record of results too because it is fronted by crazy bastards who sail into nuclear testing sites and into the paths of huge whaling ships.

    So they need you. ....but you obviously got a very bad pitch , possibly from an overseas student who is passionate about her earth but not so skilled in the nice words you have to say to get peoples attention to the worlds number one problem.

    Lets get those crazy bastards out again and get this pollution shit solved in one generation.

    The kind of crap they *were* engaged in is an amalgam of fundamentalist christianity & 'anti-satanism'- it has NO legitimacy within Maori cosmology or former religious practise

    Good point, still the sentence was confusing. Is satan a defence?....

    More Peter Gluckman on the front pages of newspapers now forever.

    It's just science. We have vast holes of science illiteracy across all sectors and we have a government who are currently taking science lessons on the trot.

    It's hilarious and tragic.

    and Bronowski, a sad prophet, amazing stuff.

    Paticularly as aforesaid stranger (the first one) wanted personal details and suggested making a contribution, after I had said "Why?" in answer to their question

    but yeh, free speech isn't always fun.

    If he wanted your help on global warming its because we are now entering a desperation faze.

    While I deplore his use of an archaic title, I really appreciate the PM's scientific advisor taking a firm & scientific stance on global warming-

    Absolutely agree , in fact it's a huge story given that his own appointed advisor is telling him to wake up fast.I thought he came in on a campaign of change.

    but if anyone accosts me and asks whether I care or not (it's happened 3 times) I simply say "None of your business-"

    It's everyones business..its global warming. It's a movement towards "commonsense". It's not a charity its an awakening. How can you get upset about peolpe trying to alert you to our horrific pollution problems that we are literally asking our kids to deal with us.

    Charities are an absurd antiquated stopgap for the large holes in our tribal umbrella but don't get that confused with the environmental movement.

    Unchecked CO2 levels will inevitably put an end to all charities and this blog.
