“The Minister of Resources, Shane Jones, calls such resources “wealth creation opportunities”. But, as we well know in Hauraki, wealth from mining has always somehow slipped past local communities, who are left with damaged land & toxic residues while the mining companies pocket the profits.” #nzpol

It's an interesting framing from Kyron there, because it's not involving a contractor and "our company" — it's a contractor and *him* The company didn't slap her. He did.

The IPCC says we must cut emissions 43% by 2030. The biggest 20 fossil fuel companies are increasing production 23% by 2030. Math doesn’t lie: their growth = our collective death warrant. Time’s almost up. Their greed is just getting started.

Am I misunderstanding this from Google search? A hard c in license? Licencing (Rare/Variation): This is typically considered a spelling error, as the 'c' usually remains soft in British English nouns ("licence") but becomes hard in the verb "license".

At #COP30, over 80 countries agreed to work up national plans to phase out fossil fuel use as the climate crisis deepens. Under Luxon's coalition government, NZ opted out and – to our shame – is instead talking about increasing oil exploration and investing in LNG fossil gas import terminals.
