  1. How did we cope with bad weather before they became ww news. Kinda embarrassing really. We're a long narrow country which usually means weather events pass quickly plus warm weather lessens the dangers. Best wishes to all those severely affected

  2. Climate Change will impact everyone even deniers and fossil fuels industry puppets.
    It is making weather events more extreme.
    Individuals, politicians and businesses need to dump fossil fuels and install solar energy.
    We are destroying the very air, land and water resources we all need to survive.
    We must take better care of the natural environment.
    All government buildings must install solar panels. All businesses must install solar panels.
    Coal power plants need to shut down and be replaced with solar energy.

  3. Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.

  4. Sounds like an AI anyway …. over exaggerated and sensationalised, Gisborne was hot and sunny today. Flights going out of Gisborne …… We have had much worse in the past but that gusty wind was pretty bad 😊😊😊 New Zealanders ride the bad weather. The difference between us and the rest of the World is we don't value material belongings we just think oh well no point crying over spilt milk and jump in and do it !! 👍👍👍
