Unprecedented Impacts

While Team Starmer battles the climate emergency by expanding Britain's airports, the transcendental importance of the tourist industry is apparently not fully appreciated in the colonies. The antipodean winter is proving a bit of a washout this year, and at least one pressure group leader has proclaimed that "we're going to see some negative impacts" far beyond such fripperies as the Caribbean getting blown to bits or Athens burning up. Not only is climate change a cause of migrants, shortages in good quality cooking oil, and other nasty things; it can also inconvenience the patrons of ski resorts and bring about rare instances of Australian understatement.
