Day by day climate change is having a clearer and clearer impact on us and the world we live in. 

While we’re reaching the end of a frosty winter here in New Zealand, July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded, as heat waves spread across the Northern Hemisphere. Closer to home, wildfires have caused devastation on the Hawaiian island of Maui after being fuelled by cyclonic winds.

The Government has recently announced plans to try and make Aotearoa the first country to have 100 percent renewable electricity – but are we acting too late for a crisis we’ve been warned about for decades? And will our pleas for a sunny summer give us more than we bargained for?

Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by NZ Herald science writer Jamie Morton to discuss what to do now that weather shocks and climate records have become the norm.
