STUFF THE PLANET
Peter Janssen with Malcolm Evans
Hodder Moa $20

The first of the stocking stuffers of the season.

Former publisher Peter Janssen, with tongue firmly in cheek, in an amusing take on the flip side of Global warming e.g. “Global warming may not be all bad: you can get the summer you want by speeding it up, then you and your family can have the beach holiday you richly deserve”.
Great fun, and I just love those Malcolm Evans illustrations.
Hilarious from beginning to end.

Here is an example - Janssens's text to accompany this is:

Can't afford to live by the sea? Don't worry, buy now in Kaitaia, Putaruru, Hawera, Levin, Ashburton and Winton, and soon the sea will come to you.
If you live in Huntly start building that little yacht you have always wanted as, with rising sea levels, Huntly will be the new Port Waikato. Juust imagine whitebaiting in the tidal waters of the Manawatu along the Esplanade at Palmerston North. Those ice caps are melting by the minute so son't delay, stake out your whitebaiting spot now before it's too late.
