Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.

This is all the evidence needed.

Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

Iran toll at 787; Israel seizes land in Lebanon; US embassy in Riyadh hit Iran strikes energy infrastructure across the Gulf as IRGC announces closure of Strait of Hormuz.

Sound familiar?

The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says its inspectors have NOT found evidence of a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons -- despite Israeli and US claims.

Conflict in Iran shows 'risk' of government's plan to import LNG as back-up to Taranaki facility Energy experts say an immediate leap in prices after US-Israeli strikes on Iran should prompt a re-think of the government's push to build an LNG import terminal.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

Wow.

The Green Party is now the most popular party in all age categories under 50 in the UK.

BREAKING
It’s been revealed that the Luxon government β€˜kicked the tyres’ on game-changing solar subsidies to cut power bills but decided to let us keep paying rising prices - and then to make it even worse with costly gas imports:

Oil & Gas are about to get a lot more expensive.

That will increase the price of just about everything else that has to be transported.

It will be a painful reminder of how badly we need to get free of fossil fuel dependency and embrace renewable energy.

NVIDIA, you made USD 215.9 billion selling the chips that run Big Tech’s AI empires.

With all that power and profits, how come the AI supply chain you fuel is still running on dirty energy?

Military strikes on Iran by the US and Israel will only deepen suffering and risk spiralling violence.

Civilians and the climate must not pay the price for political power plays.

All parties must de-escalate and choose diplomacy.
