International Energy Agency director @Fbirol talks a good game but @IEA's flagship report misguides governments, underplays clean energy, & scores goals for the fossil fuel industry. Here's our @FT ad calling on him to put 1.5C at the heart of #WEO2021

If it’s not broken, why fix it? Oh wait.

@grantrobertson1 What an amazing video! There are lots of people, around the world who breathe a little easier today. Our thoughts are with Van Jones, and others who are celebrating in the US today!

[Liz Slooten @LizSlooten]

@GarethHughesNZ Finally!

@NZClarke @shapeshifternz Love it! I reckon put it on replay until after the election. Only a couple of days now. Fingers crossed for a Labour - Green government!

[Liz Slooten @LizSlooten]

@domesticanimal @NZStuff Love it!

[Liz Slooten @LizSlooten]

@MklJMoore You're so right Michael. Couldn't agree Moore (pardon the pun)!

@domesticanimal @Forest_and_Bird @DomPost @NZStuff Beautiful, thanks Sharon and Kevin for continuing to highlight the problems with ocean management!

@MklJMoore Wow, that's amazing!

That is super interesting! It shows that the cat knows it is looking at a reflection of itself. A behaviour that is regarded as a sign of self-awareness. Some animals think their own reflection is another 'intruder' animal...

[Amanda @Pandamoanimum]

This cat discovering that it has ears is absolutely the best thing I will see today.

[Liz Slooten @LizSlooten]

Excellent idea!

At this point the NZ government should be examining Rio Tinto's books to see if they've got the reserves to clean up the site, and if not declare insolvency to preserve what money there is for site remediation. https://t.co/xjfeLuerEM

So sad to hear this Michael!

Excellent article by Farah Hancock!

@MklJMoore Looks like finally something will be done to protect North Atlantic right whales! That's worth celebrating @MklJMoore

[Liz Slooten @LizSlooten]

Thank Goodness!

This is a momentous win for people power and the climate. Much love and gratitude to all the people who have steadfastly opposed new oil exploration in Aotearoa NZ for the last decade. https://t.co/ndPHU2AKiF

New paper on Maui dolphin bycatch on Bio Archive: https://t.co/JyQkUJxZnH Current protection has reduced Maui dolphin deaths in fishing nets from 5 to 3-4 per year. It's a step in the right direction, but better protection is urgently needed!

?! Nobody is being asked to cancel their wedding, but to postpone it for a few weeks. Grandparents can still see their grandchildren (online). We're doing this to increase the chances that the grandchildren (and especially) grandparents survive, to see each other again in future!
