Specialist horticulture and viticulture weather forecasters Metris says the incoming Cyclone Vaianu is likely to impact growers across the country.
According to a recent British and Swedish study, climate researchers take more flights than other academics.
The new international study says although the group is highly concerned about global warming, climate researchers are not “walking the talk” by reducing their travel, it discovered.
Flying is one of the most emissions-intensive activities, with a single return flight from Auckland to Los Angeles emitting 4.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide – just over what the average New Zealander produces heating their home, driving their car and disposing of waste in a whole year, according to Toitū Envirocare.
