Ahead of COP 30 I’ve been thinking about the irony that the critics of our 1.5 IPCC report are many of the people now saying it’s too late to act because we’ve going past 1.5 & we must focus on instead on technological fixes to address overshoot - here’s why I think these arguments are distractions

About those $5m homes (~US$2.8m) for foreigners - that can be large parcel of land in prime real estate, a farm with a house, it can be conservation land this govt plans to sell. It shouldn't be for sale & this govt won't even give us a say? Unacceptable & absolute betrayal #nzpol
