Extinction Rebellion Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland
We fight for the right to a liveable future. Join us in our civil resistance.

@NewshubNZ @restorerailnz Well done guys. You are right. A small step towards sanity and a livable future.

@HamishCardwell And yet Air NZ is counting on carbon offsets.
"The technology doesn't exist, but when it becomes available, we'll be ready."
@FlyAirNZ why not something real like removing flights less than 400km?

Recycled cardboard maybe a good idea @EugenieSage, but it is exactly why the Green Party and NGO's have catastrophically failed to stop the climate and environmental crises for 30yrs. Minutiae don't address the issue. Learn and Change. Tell the Truth and Act Now on Best Science.

Recycled cardboard bread clips. How did we not start using these decades ago?

@ACCnz Once again, you've excluded fossil fuels from your investment list. You are investing for our deaths.

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@andylangleynz @jamespeshaw Yes

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@HamishCardwell
Extinction Rebellion continued to disrupt till the end. We will not be silent while the most avid greenwasher in NZ puts out blatant lies. They had the guts to talk about profit at the end.

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@SharronWardTV Inviting a fossil fuel executive to talk about a low carbon future is much like inviting Big Tobacco to talk about lung cancer. We cannot give a social license to fossil fuels.

@SharronWardTV Last night at our disruption at @AucklandUni the host ripped our ban from our hands. Is this what we get for trying to warn people about climate catastrophe? 1/n

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@nzherald @rnz_news @NZStuff @AucklandUni host ripped our banner off our hands. Not very respectful to people who are trying to warn people about the incoming climate catastrophe. @zenergynz has no business giving a talk about a low carbon future. They don't have one.

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@nzherald @zenergynz Mike Bennetts has a grandchild. Yet he helps to greenwash and delay our transition to a low carbon future. How can he look at himself?
XR along with various climate groups disrupted his protest tonight @AucklandUni

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@zenergynz @rnz_news @NZStuff @AucklandUni
We rightfully disrupted an "academic" presentation by avid greenwasher, Mike Bennetts. How can Mike look at his grandchild in the face and say he helped secure a liveable future?

[ExtinctionRebellionTāmakiMakaurau @XRAuckland]

@zenergynz We will not stand idly by. Can Mike Bennetts look his grandchild in the eye and say he is part of a solution that gives us a liveable future?

Climate change isn't just about adopting. It's about making sure future generations have a habitable planet too.

'We need to get cracking': How can New Zealand adapt to climate change before it's too late? https://t.co/QVagOK7ca9

Non violent direct action works. It did with suffragettes and civil rights. It's time to put our bodies on the line.

@spacefish2 @jamespeshaw The proof is from thousands of peer reviewed scientists, not you uneducated keyboard warriors

[Russel Norman @RusselNorman]

The NZ Climate Ministers lawyers argued in court that the 1.5 degree goal in the ‘Zero Carbon’ Act was just aspirational; and the Auckland Council’s lawyers argued exactly the same about the Council 63% reduction target. So they don’t have to, you know, cut emissions.
