A sweeping national climate assessment argues that exclusion from decision-making has amplified Indigenous vulnerability to floods, storms, and erosion.

The 2026 National Climate Change Risk Assessment is composed of four reports, including a companion document focused on Māori communities. That report argues that climate change is likely to deepen existing inequities shaped by colonization, exclusion from decision-making, and chronic underinvestment.

I love how out of four reports, the editor here choose to title their article on the only one that focuses on the Māori people.

It couldn't be more obvious that the decision was made to obfuscate, detract and distract from the larger message from these reports: Most of us are totally fucked and the super wealthy are as always insulated from the worst of the forthcoming.

Bet this gets lots of engagement on Facebook and Reddit, with the meaning totally going over everyones heads.
