And it’s now in New Zealand – sightings have been reported in Kerikeri in Northland, Waitara in Taranaki and Te Kuiti in Waikato.

Measuring our CO2 emissions - why should we care?
With Dr Jocelyn Turnbull
War Memorial Library, Thursday 1 June, 6pm
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have topped 400ppm and are still rising. New Zealand and the world are still dependent on self-reporting by industry to know our CO2 emissions. How does the Hutt Valley stack up in terms of global CO2 pollution?
Dr Jocelyn Turnbull leads a new program at GNS Science to measure and model CO2 emissions across a range of different scales including individual power plants, urban and national emissions.
Come along and ask questions to initiate an informed dialogue on the issues that will affect our region by 2100.
