In 2020, a majority of right-leaning New Zealanders supported stronger climate action. By 2023, that had dropped to 29%. My analysis of NZES data on the left-right climate divide shows the gap is growing. Short 🧵 - full details on my blog (link below) (1/4) #nzpol #climatepolitics

This is a great piece of research & analysis @samcrawley.bsky.social well done! newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/27/w...

Free public transport is exactly what we should do in NZ. It would actually reduce fuel use and give many people cheap transport options www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A few amazing days in the alpine zone with @juliedeslippe.bsky.social! We were stuck inside during the wind and rain but it was totally worth it when we got out!

Watties AND McCain shutting down veg processing here? The hellll? Buying NZ grown is going to become even harder. Our poor growers!

Cool story about 150-year-old forest gardens tended by First Nations groups in BC www.science.org/content/arti...

Willis indicates they may allow higher pollutant fuel into country. Last year, Bishop & Brown weakened clean car standards, making NZ a dumping ground for polluting cars Other countries are doing WFH, public transport, rations etc but this one just wants to pollute more

Don’t forget to eat vegetarian once a week though to save the planet

Beautiful day for a walk in the ngahere at Cascade Kauri Park.

If you're a Science, Chem or Biol teacher thinking of going to ChemEd BioLive in Christchurch, I'll be giving an invited talk on Mythbusting de-extinction to sort fact from fiction. It would be great to see you there. The conference is well worth it confer.eventsair.com/chemed-bioli...

Excited to share my second thesis chapter is published today as part of this issue 🎉 Exploring variability in physiological traits between (and within) individual fish can help us understand how metabolic performance and growth rates change in response to factors like warming temperatures 🔥 🧪🐟🦑

Conservation requires looking beyond Red Lists alone. Across European food webs, non-threatened species play a strong role in maintaining network connectivity. With @fmestre.bsky.social @vinibastazini.bsky.social @consbiog.bsky.social @mncn-csic.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A year ago, ministers met to consider tightening NZ’s pay equity law. Their decisions went further than officials had advised, hardening the policy to the point some groups were cut out from ever making a claim. Why? And on what evidence? They won’t show us. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The irony of the government being taken to court for cutting climate policies that would have significantly reduced NZ’s oil consumption from cars - our biggest user - and freight, just as the country faces an oil shock is ... difficult to ignore www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

This dude acknowledges the effort his own supervisor put into him but would rather use AI than train students himself. 🙄

This crisis has also exposed a deeper failure in the Government’s long-term planning. They cancelled the Clean Car Discount, weakened the Clean Car Standard, hiked public transport fares & are locking in further exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices with their LNG terminal.

Our alliance shows the need to work together when a problem pops up! Proud to be able to support the nearly 80 US authors working with IPCC across AR7

I’m thankful and impressed by my colleagues who assembled the US Academic Alliance for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (USAA-IPCC) and my professional society @agu.org for hosting it. Without USAA-IPCC, US scientists wouldn’t be able to contribute to various @ipcc.bsky.social reports.
