will this be the event that finally wakes everyone up?

New: While New Zealand diplomats at the #COP29 climate summit are pushing for a global phase-out of fossil fuels, legislators at home plan to repeal the 2018 ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling within a month of the conference’s end.

France’s Citizens Convention on Climate asked 150 randomly selected citizens to propose solutions to the climate crisis, with the promise they would be put to a referendum. Sadly, but predictably, Macron vetoed their most radical proposals. @samuel_e_bagg

By allowing only five days for the public to make submissions on the law change to restart oil and gas exploration, the Luxon Govt shows a profound disregard for democracy and the people of Aotearoa who care about the climate and protecting the ocean from catastrophic oil spills.

Gen is locked to the front door of the Straterra HQ in Wellington to protest seabed mining. Two more people are locked inside and others are on the outside with a large banner.

It’s time to #BanSeabedMining!

"Until it is passed into law, this bill has no legal standing. By behaving as though it has already been passed, the ministers are treating the democratic process with contempt."

@Farmer_Alex80 @naturevision This sounds good to you, does it?

[Lawyers for Climate Action NZ 🌏 @law4climateNZ]

We have submitted on the Fast Track Approvals Bill. There is lots to be concerned about. It does not require consideration of the impacts of proposed projects on NZ's international climate change obligations, emissions budgets, or targets under the CCRA https://t.co/B756U7oY1L

[Lawyers for Climate Action NZ 🌏 @law4climateNZ]

Legislation like this will take New Zealand further off track from meeting its climate change obligations - and potentially places NZ at risk of breaching them.

Here is the list https://t.co/2sJbhat9Z7 - spot the projects that have been blocked by councils or the courts because of environmental harm - no wonder govt didn’t want to release this…. #waronnature

@Ringmaster2015 @jasonhickel It's not a temperature map.

[David Tong @Davidxvx]

The paper summarised in this @radionz article doesn't say what RNZ says.

Its finding is much worse: not "could reduce average incomes by 19 percent" but "the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next 26 years independent of future emission choices"

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C. https://t.co/8RJ605RaN3
