Climate

I don't have to read the reccent TIMECO2 series of Time magazine to realise the climate change.

Look around and I know it's everywhere. Consider, for a moment, how many of you would have thought about going to the beach during winter previously? Now that we have global warming, I can easily arrange a birthday beach party this year even it's December.

The record-breaking heatwaves give us less pleasant temperature round the year. During our family hike today, I reminded myself to bring ice pack to keep our beverages cool. We met far more blue tiger butterflies than we could count at Tai Po Kau. Sounds unusual? Not really: blue tigers often gather here at the end of autumn. Butterfly population, still, is one of the indicators of climate change. Environmental groups have apparently recorded a sharp increase in the local butterflies since 2019, in tandem with the rise in our city's temperature.

No wonder this has been a hot topic in Time magazine.
