@russelnorman.bsky.social@russelnorman.bsky.socialReposted by @russelnorman.bsky.socialIt's been three years of the #WarOnNature from the Luxon Govt. I've done a comprehensive updated week by week account of the hundreds of anti-enviro policies. It is grim reading but this is what they Govt is really about, once you put all the PR spin to one side. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

@russelnorman.bsky.socialOn the one hand State of the Climate Report documents the increasingly negative effects of rising climate pollution, while the War on the Climate report documents the many decisions of the current Government to increase climate pollution. It is a jarring juxtaposition.
@russelnorman.bsky.socialState of the Climate Report released today by NZ Govt. To accompany it, I published updated War on the Climate Report, documenting climate policies of NZ Govt over 3 years. One documents the harm, the other the cause.

@greenpeace.org.nzReposted by @russelnorman.bsky.socialWe all know nature is facing serious threats. Yet the Luxon Government's response to the climate and biodiversity crises for three years has been to add fuel to the fire. @russelnorman.bsky.social has attempted the Herculean task of listing each of the unrelenting attacks on the environment.

@ketanjoshi.coReposted by @russelnorman.bsky.socialThe fossil industry has simple motives: maximising fossil fuel combustion (more that = more $) Climate is simple too: the more combustion, the worse it gets (more so for each new tonne burned) so...the fossil industry supports the things that make climate change (and our lives) worse, consistently
@russelnorman.bsky.socialReposted by @russelnorman.bsky.socialMinistry of Foreign Affairs and Trade thinks the reversal of the oil and gas exploration ban breached the EU Free Trade Agreement. How do we know? Because they accidentally leaked their own legal opinion in Sep 2024. newsroom.co.nz/2024/10/01/g...

@russelnorman.bsky.socialReposted by @russelnorman.bsky.socialThe NZ Govt travels the world telling people how they take their climate commitments seriously. But at home they dismantle every policy that constrains emissions and subsidise more emissions. So we've joined international efforts to hold them to account. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

@russelnorman.bsky.socialTodd McClay: “the court decisions could result in more discharges needing consents, more consent applications being declined, and consent conditions becoming more restrictive, reducing the ability to improve freshwater quality over time” (4/9/24). So less pollution makes it harder to clean up rivers
