Very often the cause and effect are known but not the length of time before we see the results. However the climate is changing much faster than anyone predicted (except perhaps James Hansen) twenty years ago and the whole subject is becoming more urgent.
Climate change has started and there are already effects apparent. I am hoping the here we can report of the effects in New Zealand here and now .
To start with the site will deal with the science and the forecasts but if I can gain enough supporters I hope we can use political influence to plan for the future. New Zealand is a small country with only two degrees of separation, surely some one we know has the ear of someone with influence.
