However, on a per capita basis, New Zealand is a significant emitter, the sixth highest within the Annex I countries, whereas on absolute gross emissions New Zealand is ranked as the 24th highest emitter. [26] [27] More than half (53%) of New Zealand's gross greenhouse gas emissions are from agriculture, mainly methane from sheep and cow belches.

New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and over 600 smaller islands.
Dwb = Monsoon-influenced warm-summer humid continental climate; coldest month averaging below 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (26.6 °F)), all months with average temperatures below 22 °C (71.6 °F), and at least four months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). At least ten times as much rain in the wettest month of summer as in the driest month of ...

Most of New Zealand's large glaciers shrank significantly towards the end of the 20th century, a consequence of global warming. [12] However, in the Southern Alps warmer temperatures cause increased precipitation on the western face of the Main Divide, and Franz Josef glacier being short and steep is more sensitive to increased snow in the ...
The diurnal temperature variation is quite low, around 7–8 °C (13–14 °F) yearlong, and seasonal temperature variation (the difference between the warmest and coldest months) is about 7 °C (13 °F). Precipitation averages 1,490 mm (58.65 in) per year, and is evenly distributed across the year (see climate chart).
Oceanic (Do), where the coldest month has a mean temperature 0 °C (32 °F) or higher; Continental (Dc), where the coldest monthly mean temperature reaches below 0 °C, as in some interior landmasses in North America and Asia. For the continental climates (Dc), sometimes a third letter (a or b) is added to denote a hot or cold summer.
