Towards a Warmer World: What Climate Change Will Mean for New Zealand's Future
2014 was the hottest year since record keeping began back in 1880. Against this historic backdrop, acclaimed Radio New Zealand science writer Veronika Meduna explores our future in a warmer world.
As new thresholds are breached, acclaimed Radio New Zealand science writer Veronika Meduna explores our future in a warmer world. Beginning with lessons from our ancient geological past, this BWB Text draws on current observations and increasingly sophisticated climate models to describe possible end-of-century scenarios for New Zealand.
Distorted ecosystems, extreme weather, new landscapes and adapted foods are just some of the likely changes that amount to a radically different future for our country.
