Right wing a-holes never stop…luckily no oil/gas company will spend the money knowing that after next year’s election, a left/green alliance will be back in control and the ban will be reinstated.

New Zealand government votes to bring back fossil fuel exploration in major reversal Ruling right-wing coalition votes to reverse ban, a move it believes will alleviate energy shortages and high prices

Your 'moment of doom' for July 31, 2025 ~ End times.

"New Zealand’s government has voted to resume oil and gas exploration despite an outcry from the opposition and environmental groups who argue the reversal will lay waste to the country’s climate credentials."

This graph shows the average July global SST for each year, 1982-2025. July, 2025 ranks 3rd hottest behind (you guessed it) 2023 and 2024.

The oceans absorb about 89% of the extra heat due to rising greenhouse gasses, or about 870,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat per day.

President Trump’s Handouts to Fossil Fuel Industry Will Cost Public $80 Billion Over Next DecadeΒ  US taxpayers are facing double jeopardy thanks to a reckless and inhumane budget bill that hands billions of dollars to the oil and gas industry as it worsens the impact of climate change

The budget bill steers tens of billions in tax breaks and policy favors to oil & gas, weakens clean-energy support, & is estimated to cost the public ~$80 billion over the next decade, from @ucs.org

We're subsidizing polluters to poison us.
