Sea level rise is one of the largest climate change hazards facing New Zealand – but new research suggests that many Kiwis don’t have an accurate picture of the risk.
A new study, just published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE, has indicated nearly one in five Kiwis may over-estimate the projected amount of sea level rise this century.
While the researchers said there were obvious dangers with a public that downplayed the risk, there were problems, too, with over-estimating it.
