Y'all, I'm a dumbass, I published a tweet with a year-old story saying that solar power was going to grow 17% this summer. It did in fact do that, last summer. *This* summer, it's expected to grow 22%. 😎

After the deadly storms, made worse by climate change, the Luxon Govt has tried to claim that it takes climate change seriously. But here are 15 pollution policies that speak louder than words.

The 2023 IRD wealth study found that the richest 300 people in NZ pay tax on income of 9.4%, versus 28% for someone earning $80k. Luxon Govt is removing the clauses of the tax law that allowed IRD to collect the study data. They don’t want you to know. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Shielding the rich? Govt to axe info-gathering power that shed light on how much tax the rich pay

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Last month was the 2nd warmest March on record for land areas around the world... Data provided by @noaa.gov NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...).
Line graph time series of global land mean surface temperature anomalies for each March from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged for March 2025 was 2.24°C for global land areas. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. Data from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0.

March 2025 continued the trend of exceptionally warm SST departures, particularly in the midlatitude bands of both hemispheres. Meanwhile, La Niña conditions are fading in the central equatorial Pacific. And unsurprisingly, widespread below-average SSTs remain hard to find. Data from NOAA OISSTv2.1.
Global map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in March 2025 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.
