NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet.
Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation?
Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly.

The mighty @gerrymcgovern has a new book out. He takes a hard look at green tech and green transitions, dispelling the rhetoric and confronting the reader with well-documented facts. A perfect gift for the techno-optimist in your life... confronting, but refreshing in its relentless calling bullshit where bullshit is due,
Here is what is often not understood: Adaptation has physical limits and when those are reached there is only one option - retreat

It's clearly more dangerous and expensive to continue Business As Usual than it is to mitigate and adapt to our changing world.
But our 'leaders' have their heads firmly buried in the proverbial sand.

So cool that our "Climate Emergency Fund" has been used up by the Luxon govt to pay for tax cuts for landlords.
Not that we need it because of recent events or anything.
It's fine.

"… the history of Arctic exploration, from ancient and medieval voyages to the modern geopolitical “Arctic race.” We begin by defining the Arctic Circle and tracing evidence of early human presence, including indigenous migrations across the Bering Strait that shaped the peopling of Alaska and Arctic Canada. From there, we follow early European accounts like Pytheas’ mysterious “Thule,” the Viking expansion into Iceland and Greenland, and later Russian expeditions along Eurasia’s northern rim. As the Age of Discovery unfolds, European powers become fixated on finding the Northwest Passage—an obsession that costs lives but advances mapping and knowledge. The 20th century transforms the region again: World War II convoys and Cold War militarization make the Arctic a strategic corridor for bases, bombers, submarines, and early warning systems. Finally, climate change reshapes the stakes. Melting ice opens new shipping routes and intensifies competition over oil, gas, and critical minerals …"
