A slightly different Christmas song
We better watch out
We better not fly
We better not doubt
The scientists' cry
Climate change is coming to town
They have made a list
Checked it more than twice
And what's on that list
Is not really nice
Climate change is coming to town
It looks like we've been sleeping
And haven't been awake
It looks like we've been pretty bad
So let's change for goodness sake!
We better not bitch
We better not moan
We better not whinge
Or grumble or groan
Climate change is flooding the town
The Arctic is in meltdown
And Santa lost his base
He's now a climate refugee
And looking for a space
We better not put
Our heads in the sand
The matter has gotten
Well out of hand
Climate change is wearing us down
We love to drive our guzzlers
Don't care about EVs
And all our money paid for gas
Is going overseas
We better retreat
We better adapt
We better make sure
Emissions are capped
Climate change is bucketing down
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
