From Midday Report, 12:16 pm on 18 September 2024

New climate projections show New Zealand is likely to be hotter in the coming decades than previously thought. By 2090, the projections show the country could be between 0.8°C and 3°C warmer, depending on how quickly and effectively the world acts on climate change. Dr Andrew Tait, Chief Scientist for Climate, Atmosphere and Hazards at NIWA, spoke to Charlotte Cook.
