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
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
