Book excerpt: The must-read book on what New Zealand's changing climate means for our everyday lives 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 must-read 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climate and Meteorology of New Zealand Wellington, the Capital City, as disclosed by its meteorological records, has a mean climate for the whole Dominion. Wellington occupies a central position, and is situated near Cook Strait, which divides the two main Islands. It has a somewhat changeable but temperate climate, and, though occasion ally subject to disturbances from warmer regions, is usually controlled by the terrestrial wind-currents which have a westerly direction round the world in the latitude of the forties. It is 'popularly regarded as a rather windy spot, for high winds are frequently experienced, although they hardly ever reach hurricane force. Its windiness is largely owing to local configuration, for places quite near Wellington experience very little wind; and 'to compensate for this rather disagreeable element is a bountiful sunshine, averaging hours per annum. There is a plentiful rainfall, amounting to nearly 50 in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hot Topic written by Gareth Renowden and published by Aut Media. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does climate change mean for New Zealand? Will we fry and starve, or bask and thrive? Using the latest evidence from the International Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, Gareth Renowden puts climate change into its New Zealand context. He examines how the science suggests New Zealand’s climate will change, what current and future governments can do to address the problem, and how individuals and businesses can respond to the challenge.'Hot Topic' explains the science of global warming in a clear and easily understandable way. Renowden looks at New Zealand’s options for adaptation and mitigation in a scrupulously non-partisan manner.BackgroundGlobal warming is an issue that has driven a huge amount of media and political debate in the last year. Al Gore’s movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' and Tim Flannery’s book 'The Weather Makers' are just two of the more visible international signs that climate change is becoming a defining item on the political agenda. This debate will intensify over the coming year, as the IPCC publishes its Fourth Assessment Report – which concludes that global warming is here, and likely to be damaging and dangerous as it progresses. 'Hot Topic' is the first popular science book to put global warming into a New Zealand context, and will play a key role in defining the national debate on how to deal with the problem.
Download or read book New Zealand s Wild Weather written by Lisa Murray (Meteorologist) and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 2021 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drama of New Zealand's changeable weather. Are the events we are seeing due to our changing climate? A compelling, informative and highly illustrated series of investigations into the different types of weather events that occur in New Zealand. It covers the likes of cyclones, heat waves, snow and drought, recounting gripping eye witness accounts and explaining just what's going on behind them all. Popular natural history writer Gerard Hutching has found a range of people affected by diverse weather events over the decades and tells their stories, bringing these events to life - from a dairy farmer and his quad bike being lifted 5 metres into the air by a cyclone then dropped 100 metres away, to the fisheries inspector who survives a lightning strike. The science behind these extreme weather events is explained in simple accessible terms by the scientists from MetService. And behind it all lies the big question - are these events a result of climate change? Well-known climatologist Professor James Renwick sets the scene of our changing climate and how that interacts with the wild weather that we experience here in Aotearoa.
