On March 18, 2022, scientists at the Concordia research station in the east Antarctic recorded the largest spike in temperature ever recorded with the region experiencing a rise of 38.5C above its seasonal average.

Unfortunately, it's not an isolated event with an increasing number of meteorologic anomalies being reported on the continent in the past two years.

The sea level rise map that was linked is interesting, I propose Hamilton to be the new international airport since both Auckland and Wellington's will be underwater

I'm starting to think the only way climate change will be taken as seriously as it should be is for something so catastrophic and undeniable as a sea level rise of metres to happen.

Thank god we elected a right wing government who is going to roll back all efforts to combat climate change eh?
