NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

Yes please paint-on bus priority now!! Clearways by the on-and off-ramps, continuous bus lanes (could be T3 and bus). Then we can talk about expensive construction later.

Also my son and I asked why they are leaving the hardest part to last (bus priority through Fettuccini Fuckup aka the waterview junction). Why not introduce rush hour bus priority lanes with some paint like ... next week?

Jobs growth less than population.
Job growth still inching back to standstill (not getting worse). Where to over the next 6 months? My money is on bobbling along between 0 and 1% - i.e. below population growth. Others may have more hopium.

We've got the first weekly jobs data for 2026 and as expected it's a touch lower than 2025 and a fair bit lower than 2024. We look set to track 2025 levels - the sliding sideways scenario. Good dance move, not so good for the people needing work. (🧵 1/n)

A bill to expand use of oilfield wastewater outside of drilling operations in New Mexico was shot down after nearly five hours of debate.
Oilfield wastewater is highly saline and can contain radioactive elements, toxic organic compounds & other contaminants.

In 2018, Epstein and Bannon discussed how to damage Christine Blasey Ford so that Brett Kavanaugh could receive a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court.
It's remarkable how deeply Epstein was involved in the lives of so many wealthy individuals, as well as in the UK and US governments and SCOTUS.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Listening to Shane Jones et al, it seems to me that logic is unwanted and this country will be compelled to use fossil fuels despite most not wanting it. One can only conclude external forces at work again.

So Oil & Gas has spent $1.5b drilling 23 wells in #NZ since 2020 & found pretty much nothing
Makes sense given fossil fuels are dying
LNG decision not only subsidises a sunset energy source, it pivots us from critical renewables & exposes us to global fluctuations.
Price increases all round too
