With torrential rain and flooding caused by an 'atmospheric river', should this event convince us all that climate change is real and we need to be taking action?

Hi Folks. I used to have a fantastic recipe for whole unpeeled clementine mandarins in syrup with star anise and cinnamon stick added. It has gone astray. Has anyone got such a recipe that dont mind sharing, or even whole limes in syrup? Thank you.

***UPDATE: Civil Defence has declared a 'state of emergency' for Northland as at 1pm Tuesday 31 January, for an initial period of seven days, as part of the response to the current weather event.***
Northland has a 'Red Heavy Rain Warning, as well as a Severe Thunderstorm and Strong Wind Watch for the region' as advised by MetService.
With heavy rain forecast on top of the constant heavy rain Northland has been experiencing, this may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly and become dangerous. Surface flooding, slips and flood water are likely to close roads and disrupt travel.
From Tuesday 31 January 4am to 4am Wednesday 01 Feb, MetService is forecasting between 100 to 140 mm of rain, especially in the North and East of the region. Though, localised areas may receive as much as 140 to 220 mm.
Northlanders are asked to stay informed of the changing situation, avoid travel and be prepared if an evacuation is needed.

Get Ready website.
