NZ:  ‘A young woman was badly burned and feared she may never have children after a horrifying medical blunder – and then offered a $50 fuel voucher by way of apology…’

Tomorrow, Guess What Would happen to sea levels…
Nothing.
Or at least as close to nothing as makes no difference – says a new study published at Science Advances.
If we were to burn all the world’s coal and all the world’s oil tomorrow, the resultant effect on the Antarctic ice sheet – the biggest body of ice on the planet – would be to cause sea levels to rise by the end of this century by just 8cm.
What this means, in other words, is that even were the doomiest of doomsday predictions about climate change and rising sea levels to come true, they would take place on a timescale so slow that no one alive on the planet right now would be remotely affected.
Nor their children, nor their grandchildren, nor their great-grandchildren…’

”President Obama may have gone too far by packing the Pope’s receiving line with a coterie of public dissenters from Catholic doctrine to greet him at the White House during his U.S. visit next week. Though the Pope generally bends over backwards to be tolerant of such things, on Friday the Vatican expressed its deep displeasure with the tactless gesture.
In a remarkable show of political impropriety, the White House invited a series of individuals who publicly thumb their noses at Catholic teaching to attend the papal reception, including a pro-abortion religious sister, a transgender woman, and the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, along with at least two Catholic gay activists.
After Breitbart publicized the discordant tone of the Obama guest list, the Holy See reacted by expressing its disapproval, noting its concern that any photos of the pope with these guests at the White House ceremony might be misconstrued as a validation of their activities, The Wall Street Journal reported…’

For one of the most heartwarming stories of the week, two dogs that had been missing for over a week were found in an isolated place on Vashon Island near Seattle, Washington.
Their absence was finally explained when the pair were found with one dog stuck in a deep hole unable to get out, while her companion had been standing guard the entire time…’

‘Surfers ignore warnings as 30cm wave surges hit Christchurch after Chile quake’
  It begins with a ripple…who knows where this will lead? Socialist NZ cannot possibly survive in the face of this massive wave of civil disobedience. Is it the beginning of the Kiwi Spring?
Update!!
There are reports trickling in already that NOT ONE surfer was seen to be wearing a hi-viz vest, safety boots and hard hat. A Health and Safety NZ spokesperson says the area is still too dangerous to allow inspectors to verify these reports.
