Arty answers for Thain's
With respect to the walls and the shop front (of the fire-damaged Thain's building) - the owners are artistic and creative - why not shore it up and leave it as it
is and create something unique and interesting and beautiful on the site. Very progressive and European style.
Possibly another awesome full wall mural along with a purpose built pergola behind the shop frontage jutting out (minus the glass) with red bougainvillea or roses cascading over it with brick and grass areas that could lend itself to pop up cafes and market opportunities as is in Ridgway St. LAURINE CURRIN Whanganui Listen to Greta I write in reply to Dennis Nitschke's letter (October 14) "Humans aren't to blame".

Mr Nitschke offers his noble, but harsh, pity to young people, not because they really are facing a climate catastrophe (or a possible obliteration by a giant asteroid next week), but because they accept the 95 per cent consensus of climate scientists which cites mankind as the ultimate or "extreme cause" of global heating.
He follows the latter day climate change deniers, eg President Trump and all members of the Republican Party, who try to muddy the waters of understanding by pretending that current climate heating cannot be due to mankind, so we can, for example, carry on burning fossil fuels until they are exhausted. He should definitely take young Greta Thunberg's advice and inform himself.
