Oh look, another extreme NZ weather event – it’s getting worse
The extreme weather New Zealand climate change warning isn’t coming anymore — it’s here. And the more often it happens, the harder it becomes to pretend this is still business as usual.
Two cyclones, huh?
That seems totally normal.
This isn’t unusual anymore — this is the baseline
While America and Israel export their Gaza war crimes to Iran, we are missing a far worse story in the background, the clear reality we have breached environmental tipping points where extreme weather is now the norm.
The Heat Wave that is rupturing globally right now is unprecedented…
…there is a tipping point, which once breached, means NZ has no option but to adapt to the new climate and geopolitical realities we face.
Adapt or collapse — those are the choices now
Post-Growth Capitalism, Fortress Aotearoa, Climate Change Adaptation – these will be our new NorthStars.
There can’t be any more business as usual if the planet you are doing that business on is catastrophically warming.
The political spectrum will fracture as the reality of extreme weather event after extreme weather event impacts us beyond the ability to gloss over it.
I imagine we are wondering what the vacuous, tin-hat, antivax, NZD voters “see” now as a major cyclone approaches NZ or are they still in denial? And also for their info Covid is still out there with 43 dying 30 days before 1 Feb 26 and early Mar 19 deaths in one week! But they won’t know as this corrupt CoC show no interest so they can again “pretend” it away. All this while responsible, caring folk test and have their vaccines. So how do NZF voters feel about the lies their leader has told them? And they have the audacity to criticize Jacinda Ardern Who SAVED more than 20,000 lives!!!!!
