On March 18, 2022, scientists at the Concordia research station in the east Antarctic recorded the largest spike in temperature ever recorded with the region experiencing a rise of 38.5C above its seasonal average.

Unfortunately, it’s not an isolated event with an increasing number of meteorologic anomalies being reported on the continent in the past two years.

The sea level rise map that was linked is interesting, I propose Hamilton to be the new international airport since both Auckland and Wellington’s will be underwater

    Yeah it’s always been sold as a problem for the next generation, take action now to make a better world for your grandkids. Turns out our lack of action has big ramifications in our lifetime.

    I also like to try to minimise my impact, and try to be part of the solution not part of the problem, but I’m under no illusions that anything short of government action will make the difference we need.

        *actively, deliberately making it worse.

        We can’t demand better working conditions if we lose the water war.
