And for completeness, the taxi driver said some of the oldies are really struggling to get there; one fainted en route. So, maybe it's not working.
And, you do know that a rule change means that once you reach the taxis you have to walk another kazillion meters to get to the front of the queue because a rule change means you can't take the one closest to you. Seems fair, right, but not to the person walking.
Caught a taxi from international the other day...OMG, if you were old or infirm you would expire before reaching the pick up point. Might be okay if family are picking you up, but as for taxis...

"It has always been risky to ignore [James Hansen's] warnings and admonitions...So it with no pleasure whatsoever that I find myself in a position to have to criticize his latest work."
My commentary on Hansen's new article: michaelmann.net/content/comm…
Terrifying images have been coming thick and fast over the last 3 years, from the tragic Australian fires to a non-stop series of catastrophic floods. The talk has turned to adaptation and high tech-removal of emissions. Yeah, and nah. Low-tech solutions rolled out now.
We spent Five Minutes with Thomas Dowling, a lecturer in our School who specialises in GIS and remote sensing. He explores monitoring techniques using drones and satellites to detect sewage plumes and fishing vessels. Watch here: youtu.be/565jQC866jk
Scary stuff - you’d think we’d make a step change to stop this sh?t but nope
If you live in the bush, country towns or the outskirts of major cities, it’s time to prepare for the possibility of fire. And if you live anywhere in Australia, you need to plan for heat.
Researchers from @victoriauninews share their tips for how you can prepare.

Just back from the UK and thought I'd found the perfect car for me...an allgrip hybrid suzuki ignis: small and low pollution. But no! Suzuki only offers big emitters or big space takers in the NZ all wheel drive market. Missed opportunity @suzukimotonz
