COP29 has been a spectacular success for fossil fuels, the business as usual brigade and the kick the can down the road lot. Nothing of substance is going to happen to reduce emissions until climate change itself intervenes and bursts the bubble #collapse

Shameful to see the National party benches empty as the Treaty Principles Bill debate begins. Labour are ALL in.
Brownlee just read the riot act to the public gallery.

Lots of distractions out there but the climate continues to change in a non-linear way and in a direction that is hostile to many lifeforms including us. Are we capable of unified action to do what has to be done or is our fate already prescribed?

Lotta real dumbasses out there listening to Luxon and taking him seriously. Could you all stop taking everything this dipshit says at face value. These are not real targets. They will not be implemented or achieved in any way that improves anything. Stop being so stupid #nzpol

COP38 is mired in indecision because we have been far too slow. We have not made meaningful reductions in emissions and failed to move to sustainable consumption of the earth's resources. As a consequence the actions needed are just too drastic to contemplate
