Aotearoa’s relentless summer has caused an unprecedented decline of our glaciers, some of which have now mostly vanished. The La Niña weather pattern meant record high sea temperatures on the West Coast. This caused the air to warm as far as the alpine glaciers. Scientists have famously called melting glaciers “global warming’s coalmine canaries” because of their link to temperature and precipitation. Caeden Tipler spoke to Drew Lorrey, Climate and Environment Applications Principal Scientist at NIWA, about the link between glaciers and climate change, as well as the importance of us paying attention to them.
