Economic debate gets Green voice
TVNZ7’s much hyped economic debate (you’ve probably seen the adds by now) will have a Green voice. Following TVNZ’s Guyon Espiner interviewing Finance Minister Bill English Green Party Co-Leader Dr Russel Norman will critique National’s first year in Government along with Roger Douglas (ACT) and David Cunliffe (Labour). TVZN7’s economic debate screens tonight on TVNZ7 at [...] read moreNovember 3, 2009 9:52 am - 16 Comments -
Giant, Mucus-Like Sea Blobs on the Rise
The latest climate change boogeyman fits the bill on all levels. It’s big, it’s slimy, it’s scary, and it’s on the increase because of rising temperatures due to climate change. I’ve encountered these babies myself while diving, and they are most unpleasant. Nati0nal Geographic has written them up in all their glory: Up to 124 miles (200 [...] read moreOctober 14, 2009 5:00 pm - 22 Comments -
Inspired Cycling
The Greens are close to announcing the launch of the New Zealand Cycleway with the Government. (Watch this space.) Until then, Danny MacAskill redefines where you can ride a bicycle around the city. Is this the most beautiful cycling video you’ve ever seen? read moreJuly 22, 2009 4:47 pm - 33 Comments -
Last chance to have your say on emissions – online
I’ll give MfE credit for one thing. If you are going to hold a Clayton’s consultation on a 2020 target, (like giving 1.4 million Aucklander’s just an hour and a half to have their say), you certainly get high marks for courage with tonight’s online webcast/consultation round. Pulling this off without a hitch would be [...] read moreJuly 20, 2009 11:51 am - 23 Comments -
The world’s most diverse seabird community needs you
If ever there was an opportunity to protect a marine environment abundant in unique species, a growing tourism interest, and with minimal impact on fishing interests, this is it. The Subantarctic region is recognised as being of international significance. While the islands themselves enjoy considerable protection as nature reserves, little of the marine area surrounding them [...] read moreJuly 9, 2009 2:00 pm - 3 Comments -
40 percent by 2020
Here’s a compelling video from the great people at 350.org.nz urging all of us to get off our bums and have our say at the Government’s emissions target meetings around the country over the next couple of weeks. It is vitally important that we turn out in numbers and let the Government know that the future [...] read moreJuly 2, 2009 7:12 am - 58 Comments -
Aorere shows the way on water
On Friday I had the opportunity to attend a celebration of the Aorere Catchment Project in Golden Bay. When I had been presenting the Green New Deal in Takaka several local people had mentioned the project to me in tones of pride, so I jumped at the chance to attend the celebration. read moreJune 29, 2009 12:50 pm - 43 Comments -
Jeanette questions Salinger sacking
By hiding behind the public service rules the minister of Research, Science and Technology has shot himself in the foot. What seemed like the safest path to a new minister may in the end prove the most embarrassing. Tuesday, with my question in the House, I tried to give Wayne Mapp an opportunity to express [...] read moreApril 30, 2009 10:55 am - 33 Comments
