Cold snap brings icebergs - National - NZ Herald News
Strong winds at Mt Cook have blown more than 50 icebergs down to the southern end of the Tasman Glacier Terminal Lake.

The icebergs are near the Glacier Explorers boat jetty and can be seen from the public walking track. Wintry conditions have forced the early closure of boat cruises among the icebergs.
300.org Urges Reduction Of Atmospheric CO2 To 300 ppm
Australia-based 300.org was launched in May 2009 and will hopefully expand throughout the World. 300.org exists to inform people about the Climate Emergency and the need to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ) concentration to a safe and sustainable level of about 300 ppm (parts per million).
350.org: Did someone say 300? We think it's 350, [or 4,000?] or something.  Note: The science is crystal clear, and everyone agrees [or not].  Can we have some more cash now?
Our focus is on the number 350--as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number--it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.
