Drought in New Zealand

Reality is starting to sink in, at least with farmers,although this is being seen in the context of a severe el-Nino, not in terms of abrupt climate change.

How that is going to manifest exactly in this part of the world remains to be seen I am sure it is going to be shocking.

Once the el-Nino has passed the world is still 1.29 degrees Celsius (and counting...) warmer.

In short, we ain't seen nothin' yet.
