  1. Good day to bury bad news…

    Must be Jacinda’s ” kindness” to oil day again… from Greenpeace

    “We’ve just learned, the Government has granted Austrian oil giant OMV a two year extension on their permit to search and drill for oil in the Great South Basin, just off Dunedin. That’s despite issuing a ban on new oil and gas exploration permits in April.

    This is a massive backtrack. The Government is breathing new life into this permit, and the extra two years could be the difference between finding and drilling for new oil and gas reserves, or not.

    It’s madness to be allowing an extension on this permit to look for more oil and gas reserves – right when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a new report that shows in no uncertain terms we’ve got a decade to save the world from climate catastrophe.

    In fact the science is clearer than ever. If we want to keep climate change to below 1.5C, then the majority of fossil fuel reserves cannot be touched.

    This we know to be true, and yet OMV – one of the 100 companies who have caused 70% of global emissions since the eighties – continue undeterred by the millions of lives, precious ecosystems and communities they put at risk.

    After the IPCC call to action – that we need unparalleled courage, ambition and resolve to turn this tide – why would anyone grant an oil company more time to pillage the Earth?

    Let Megan Woods know that you do not support this decision. That instead of extending oil permits, the government should be investing in the clean energies of the future.”

  2. Fuck journalists, they better behave, get out of the picture and shut up. That is what Trump seems to think and do:

    I can live well with the Mafia, with murderers, and rogue states, no problem, we are doing deals, and create jobs for US workers, stuff the rest.

    That is the leader of the supposed ‘free world’, does anyone in NZ Inc care to take note we deal with a megalomaniac fascist kind of president?
