  BOOM! A new legal front is opening up in the effort to hold fossil fuel companies responsible. A French oil company has, for the first time, been ruled responsible not just for its own climate-warming emissions, but for the emissions of its customers. #ClimateLitigation #ClimateChange #nzpol #France #smithvsfonterra https://theconversation.com/french-climate-lawsuit-offers-a-window-into-the-next-round-of-the-global-legal-fight-287829

  You know what doesn’t get shut down when heatwaves and droughts dry up the rivers? Wind and solar. Climate change is exposing a weakness in nuclear power. Lack of water in the Danube has closed two reactors in Romania and one in Hungary. Similar problems have shut three in France. At least eight others in Europe are having to operate on reduced power. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/low-danube-river-levels-force-romania-shut-down-both-its-nuclear-power-reactors-2026-07-29/ #nuclear...

  The New Zealand government is actively rewriting New Zealand's law to block Mike Smith from taking the country's biggest climate polluters to court. It's quite a story👇 https://www.greenpeace.org/international/story/85132/we-are-locked-in-a-legal-battle-against-six-of-new-zealands-biggest-greenhouse-gas-emitters/?utm_medium=nickofnz&utm_content=postid-85132&utm_campaign=&utm_source=twitter #ClimateLitigation #ClimateChange #nzpol via @greenpeace@mastodon.social

  Some people today celebrated giant profits made selling oil, while others grieved the deaths of loved ones who died fighting the fires those profits caused. It’s more sickening when you consider that they always knew this would be the result, hid the truth and did it anyway. The #ClimateCrisis is a crime.

  Make it make sense. As the world burns in the oil industry's #ClimateCrisis, the Luxon government is celebrating a (futile) new search for fuel to throw on the fires. We know that we can't afford to burn even the known oil reserves, so searching for more is reckless and stupid climate denial. #MakeOilHistory #ClimateChange #MakePollutersPay

  Real fox and henhouse vibes with this. The important point is managing the impact on conservation land, not making more fun for hunters. Hunters in charge are more likely to just increase numbers of pest species right? #nzpol #newzealand #hunting #conservation #nature #biodiversity #forests

  It’s just hot air. No new oil or gas reserves have been found in years, despite hundreds of millions being spent on the search. The future is renewable wind and solar — and everyone knows it. #YesterdaysMan #NZPol #NewZealand #ClimateChange

  This is not a natural disaster. The oil industry caused it and is knowingly throwing fuel on the fire while it continues raking in record profits at our expense. For us to have any chance of a future, the oil industry can have no future. Pass it on. #ClimateCrisis #ontario #forest #forestfires

  You hear people say “this is the new normal.” If only that were true. The truth is that it’s going to keep getting worse for quite some time. How much worse is still up to us. We HAVE to end the oil industry. #ClimateCrisis

  Today is #WorldWindDay, and so a good time to remember that no one ever went to war over wind! ⁣ It's cleaner, it's cheaper and it will never get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. Time for an #EnergyRevolution! ⁣

  Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse 😡 An Australian outfit plans to fast-track a dirty new industry in Southland using FILTHY lignite (brown coal) to create urea. Urea is synthetic nitrogen ‘fertiliser’ that drives dairy expansion, the pollution of rivers and contamination of drinking water and climate pollution. It would be a disaster. #TooManyCows #climate #ClimateChange #NZPol https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/country/593041/australian-company-plans-3b-lignite-to-fertiliser-pla...

  "There is no benefit in New Zealand in destroying the biodiversity off in South Taranaki just so that an Australian mining company can dig up vanadium and give it to the US military." - Russel Norman A Cabinet paper has revealed that Resources Minister Shane Jones wants to continue negotiations for a bilateral agreement with the US over rare minerals. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/environment/593400/environmentalists-split-over-revived-nz-us-rare-minerals-deal?utm_source=nickof...

  Unbelievable. The Luxon government has now granted a prospecting permit within Te Wāhipounamu, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

  Wow, that hits hard. A storm hit New Zealand every eight days on average in the last year. Insurance claims more than tripled. This is the #climatecrisis and it will get much worse — but how much worse, is still up to us. Going solar fast makes us more resilient, saves households money and cuts emissions as we electrify everything. https://action.greenpeace.org.nz/petition/solarise-nz?utm_source=nickofnz&utm_medium=nickofnz

  Wow! A surge in home battery installations continues to defy all expectations in Aussie, reaching more than 360,000 homes in the 10 months since a government rebate was launched. Something we could be seeing too if we had some leadership with any vision. Join the call to solarise Aotearoa now! It's a lasting response to the Trump-induced oil crisis that would mean cheaper, cleaner and more resilient energy – exactly when we need it most. #EnergyRevolution #ClimateChange #iran #trump...

  The government’s own analysis showed that we don’t need any new gas — if we invest adequately in renewables.
