Looking for an appropriate way to honour Sam Neill? He hated NZ First opening up the country to mine it. Vote them out in November in his honour!

Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

Norway pay their female international players the same amount as their male players and have done since 2017.

I had replied to the below: Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close-up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

One of Marie Curie’s notebooks in the Bibliotheque National in Paris, ca. 1910. It is still so radioactive that it has to be stored in a lead container.

UK government set to waste a quarter of a TRILLION pounds on carbon capture mirages. Imagine what could be done with that money... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our heatwaves will get hotter and hotter and hotter until we get to global net zero greenhouse gas emissions and so stabilise the climate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A global #review found that mRNA #vaccines – now given billions of times worldwide – are safe & highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like #COVID19, and have a range of potential other applications, incl. for influenza, RSV, #cancer & autoimmune disorders: news.ubc.ca/2026/06/mrna...

Warmer winters may not be as damaging as summer heatwave but they still influence natural and agricultural systems, often in hidden ways. Here's the print version -

And it took an incredibly strong woman deciding to have a public trial to bring this to light. A single, powerful survivor, but not one man who knew of this ever spoke up. Not one.

A great Climate Matters post from Lindsay Wood, read (and listen) all about it... climatemattersnz.substack.com/p/climate-ma...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

126 years ago, on the 2nd of July 1900, the world's first ever zeppelin flight took place over Lake Constance (German: Bodensee). The vehicle was named after it's designer Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. He had been inspired by a balloon camp he visited when observing the American Civil War. #otd 🗃️

"To pretend adaptation is simple is to live in denial of the pace and scale of warming." Great piece from @dwallacewells.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/o...

UK government announces 4.5 bilion ponds for active transport! Goal: "more than half (55%) of short journeys in towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2035" - if they can do it, we can do it. If we dare to... www.gov.uk/government/n...

New Zealand Science: Step 1: cut science funding. Step 2: be baffled there's nothing to commercialise. Step 3: blame the professors. #nzpol

This is scathing, and dead on.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis Science isn’t neutral. It’s science.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Besides being a wonderful human, @jeffgoodell.bsky.social wrote a tremendous book called The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet. I recommend it to anyone who reads.

At this event, a forecast for 2056 was shown for a heatwave in 2056 with more than a week of over 40°C over a large part of the UK. By burning fossil fuels, we’re creating an increasingly hot, chaotic, and dangerous world, sending our children and grandchildren there, and they’re never coming back.

Mike Smith is taking action against corporate lobbying and Government interference! Cloak and dagger lobbying by Fonterra persuaded the Government to attempt to shut down Mike Smith's court case, which attempts to hold companies like Fonterra accountable for their climate pollution. #nzpol

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.
