Russell Brown: After recent events, will our government talk honestly about climate change? One policy after another, our response to climate problems is weakening.

Ah, my Listener column about the government's feckless attitude to climate change is now online. www.nzherald.co.nz/the-listener...

TBF I have not seen any real big time depravity featuring him but it's just funny watching the mud slinger squirming so much.

Just a slight whiff of poo pond stench here in my stately slice of the city.Just enough to remind me of a childhood in Aranui 60 years ago when the stench was awful plus.Rags stuffed under doors stuff.

"You end up paying six times more for emergency repair than you would if you'd actually planned ahead and planned the upgrades or planned a city," says Emily Mabin Sutton, chief executive of the Climate Club, a group that organises climate action. "

So ACT's pro slavery now? A bold progression I guess.They'll have to defer to the Taliban who have been first to legislate it back in.

The workplace relations minister refusing to back a bill to address the issue of modern day slavery doesn't bode well for workplace relations

Good to know.Heartless acturial table thinking is what will shift the dial - eventually.

Insurer temporarily halts new policies in Westport due to flood risk The decision will be the first of many as the full force of climate change arrives, a researcher says.

There it is. Always, always follow the money. When insurers say they can't cover you because of climate change impacts you can finally understand it is real and is causing harm today.

Yes, this is a sub-tweet.

The Left's not going going to get another quality bogey figure like Judith Collins again.Noting she backed densification where the rest of them are too gutless to do it.

The main architect of our national misfortunes does a nice line of faux virtue.

Cartoon. Title: PARLIAMENT RETURNS UNDER SHADOW OF DEADLY WEATHER

in this image we have the Beehive. Parliament of New Zealand being battered by waves and rising sea levels. At the top the National flag is broken and in tatters. 

Luxon is hanging out his office window shouting, "it's too soon to talk about this..." and a woman in a bath tub with oars shouts really loudly back "IF NOT NOW WHEN?!"

NZ taxpayers spent $6M to bring Michelin stars here and only paid $3M to the WHO.
Contributing to world health seems like a much better spend to me. #nzpol

Superb reportage that adds to what we know and amidst atrocity reminds us not all Americans are monsters.

TODAY IN MINNESOTA: Hundreds of thousands marched through Minneapolis in -10ยฐF, shutting down the city to demand ICE the fuck out of the Twin Cities. People risked frostbite just to make their point. The entire country should be ashamed if they donโ€™t follow.

four tiny ceramic animals: a light orange fox, a wolf, an otter or weasel, and a darker orange fox with black dotted markings on its back. they're arranged as if talking to each other.

I burnt off my political and PR capital years ago trying to get political influencers to see the huge danger posed by climate change.Now it's here and magnifying weather into disasters there is no satisfaction in having been right.
Sadly, tragically ,the worst is yet to come.
