Climate Change Air Balloon in Auckland

Greenpeace launched a giant, planet-replica hot air balloon from Bastion Point in Auckland, with the wording: “Target Climate Change.” The activity ties in with the start of a six week ship tour aboard the iconic Rainbow Warrior. The theme of the tour is targeting climate change, in reference to New Zealand's lack of an overall greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
