New Zealand, which is often touted as a ‘Safe Haven’ to escape a climate change induced collapse, recently experienced its worst ever weather disaster. Join Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez as they discuss this event from a number of different perspectives.
This video was recorded on February 22nd as well as March 8th of 2023, and published on March 12th, 2023, and represents the opinions of the discussion participants.
Some of the topics discussed:
- How tech moguls have bought huge parcels of land with the understanding that New Zealand is the safest place on the planet in regards to climate change and how Cyclone Gabrielle has proven that to be wrong.
- The eight billion dollar estimated cleanup.
- How a government minister said this is definitely climate change and we've really have to do something about it.
- How the people had two weeks warning from the weather service regarding this potential event.
- How protesters, comprising a minority of brave people going out there to demonstrate on the streets, are being dealt with more harshly by the courts.
- The severe impact on crops such as fruits and wine.
- The Nomenclature as pertaining to hurricanes: in North Atlantic or North Pacific they’re referred to as Hurricanes whereas when they’re closer to Asia they’re referred to as Typhoons and when they’re in the Southern Hemisphere they become Tropical Cyclones.
- and much more. . .
