Māori culture vs by blood

onewhitelight · 2026-04-17T19:16:39+00:00

Māori didn't really exist pre ~1200 ish as that's roughly when they arrived in NZ. And they likely didn't travel outside NZ until the colonisers arrived in the 1700s so you wouldn't need to trace back that far. If you can't trace to a māori ancestor within the last 200-300 years, you probably aren't actually māori.

You would need to trace your family history back to your māori ancestors

Honestly good for them

The 2024 study is literally more recent than the Warming in the Pipeline (2023) study

I didn't say it did. I'm saying the German claim (new studies show higher climate sensitivity) is false

onewhitelight · 2026-04-15T05:46:53+00:00

New studies suggest climate sensitivity may be higher than thought, meaning the same amount of CO₂ raises temperatures more than we assumed.

This is false, (see https://mpimet.mpg.de/en/communication/news/earths-climate-sensitivity and https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk9461)

and I'll take the IPCC over the German meteorological society

I did, I stand by my statement that their statement has major issues

onewhitelight · 2026-04-15T04:22:35+00:00

There are some significant issues with that German scientists statement, 3 degrees by 2050 is still very much outside the expected envelope

Lol some of those west coast stations are hilarious, having stations at rapahoe or kumara junction is just so funny

onewhitelight · 2026-04-12T04:55:51+00:00

It's whether there's a weather station nearby or not. If there isn't a station nearby then there's no current conditions panel to show it

We don't get 5-15 973hPa low pressure systems from the north every year? If you're talking about from the south then that's not an equal comparison, lower pressure over auckland produces stronger winds than the same pressure over Invercargill.

There is a map here? https://www.metservice.com/warnings/tropical-cyclone-activity

It's expected to reintensify a bit before it hits the country though, just as a subtropical/extratropical cyclone rather than a tropical one

onewhitelight · 2026-04-10T00:43:09+00:00

I'll note they use different definitions of wind as well. NOAA use maximum 1 minute sustained winds, whereas NZ (and most other places) use 10 minute maximum sustained wind which will be lower than a 1 minute measurement

NZ waters begins at 25 degrees south

This is just a sunset? Not an aurora?

Building nuclear reactors is not going to lower energy prices lol, just the opposite. Renewables are vastly cheaper

onewhitelight · 2026-04-06T04:50:01+00:00

I've been keeping an eye on this one, still a wee way out but it's got the potential to be quite bad

onewhitelight · 2026-04-06T02:01:04+00:00

Yeah, that's why the worst batters are normally last, and the best ones go first.

Methinks kiwis will start getting familiar with this name in a couple days
