#Breaking: grandmother Rosemary Penwarden has just been convicted and sentenced to community service, for forgery - sending a satirical letter to oil delegates as a climate protest. She is a climate hero. The real criminals are the fossil corporations destroying our climate.

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.

The paper summarised in this RNZ 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"

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 lawyersforclimateaction.nz/news-events/la…

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.

"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."

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.

how most people are still meh about irreversible global overheating is beyond me

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.
