Future forecast for New Zealand
307 pages.
New Zealand author.
Summary: A warmer world will change more than just our weather patterns. It will change the look of the land around us, what grows and lives on it-- including us. In this book, Professor James Renwick untangles how we know what the future holds and why it matters to our everyday lives. He looks at New Zealand's increasingly frequent natural disasters, warming and acidifying waters, the creep of rising sea levels, and the ways that the changing weather will affect our agriculture, lifestyle, food security and economy. Under the Weather is a picture of a planet in danger, a reality-check on what that means for this country, and a reminder that the shape of our future is up to us. (Publisher)
