APAD: It’s the tip of the iceberg

It’s the tip of the iceberg

When it comes to Icebergs, the vast majority of the ice is below the water level. We cannot see it, only the tip. This proverb is used to describe encountering problems when trying to do something. But the bigger issue is that this particular problem isn’t the worst one you will encounter. It is highly likely that far worse issues lie ahead.

Heatwaves, wildfires and floods are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’, leading climate scientists say.  Dramatic climate action needed to curtail ‘crazy’ extreme weather.
