Description
Labour Party leader Andrew Little said inclement weather brought by Cyclone Cook to the flood-devastated community of Edgecumbe was a “sobering warning” of the effects of climate change, while on a tour of the town on Thursday, April 13.
Edgecumbe was recovering from the effects of flooding earlier in the month, after waters from the Rangitāiki River inundated the town</a> when a retaining wall broke during a storm front brought by ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
“I think there’s a sense that people are just bracing themselves,” Little said in an interview with 95b.fm</a>. “They got through the worst last week and there’s worse to come.”Cyclone Cook is the second major weather event</a> to lash parts of New Zealand, prompting Little to tell the radio station “we’ve got to get serious about this stuff.”
