National's watering down of methane limits has rightly attracted international condemnation for its ignorance and its complete disregard of climate change.
Naturally farmers are ecstatic that their right to pollute for another 25 years has been preserved. Sure, the climate is getting wilder and that might lead to an extinction event, one day. But short-term profits are more important. Right?
Wrong.
Today's ODT editorial describes National's dirty moves as "a loss for sensible policy making." On a positive note, they suggest this bad legislation is unlikely to survive a change of government.

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. And the next data centre planned to run "Grok" will nearly double the number of fossil fuelled turbines.
Far from 'saving' the climate, it really looks like fossil-fuelled data centres are running climate-denying racist text generators for right-wing billionaires.
I found a new dataset that lays it all out pretty nicely: as bad as the generative AI data centre panic-build is, Musk is the worst of a bad bunch by a good margin.
Enjoy:

#GAZA#UKRAINE are tied at the capitalist hip. it is no coincidence that #Netanyahu showed a map with no Palestinian Territories months after #methane#naturalGas deposits were confirmed off the coast of Gaza.
3,000 billionaires are paying for Palestinian and Ukranian #genocide in a vain attempt to wipe-out nations and re-draw maps based on their investments.
