More than 700 Marlburians gathered for climate change action in Blenheim. Over 700 people marched the streets of Blenheim as part of a nationwide climate strike last Friday, calling for decisive action on climate change. "We need people who take climate change seriously and want to make that a priority in all their decision making." In a mayoral debate last week, Ireland referred to climate change as a "fad that's rolling through" and "not based in reality".
