  ACC protest videos – raw footage

  
  
  
  The motorbikes are coming, and there are a lot of them! This photo was taken from quite a distance so the perspective makes it look like there are fewer people, but basically the entire of the area outside the beehive is covered in people. read more

  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 more

  Oil companies declare that CO2 is green

  
  
  
  Some stupidity is just too good not to share. You only need half a second with this new US television advert to guess who’s behind it. The Guardian has a great article on the video, who’s behind it and why it is so ripe for a spoof. I’m tempted to do one myself! In a slick attempt [...] read more

  Catherine Delahunty and ‘Dave’ talk tropical timber

  
  
  
  In Mid June Catherine Delahunty’s Sustainable Forestry Bill was picked from the ballot. Shortly after the Bill was drawn Catherine met up with someone just as keen as she is to make forestry sustainable. Dave, an Orangutan from the jungles of Sumatra whose forest home is under threat. Here’s a slightly silly video take on [...] read more

  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 more

  Keira Knightley gets censored: too violent!

  
  
  
  I love a good public service announcement that cuts to the chase. Particularly when it exceeds my otherwise high tolerance for violence/destruction and makes my skin crawl. This is one such advert. Too bad that the UK censors deemed it too violent for television. In an age when our tellies screen dozens of murders per [...] read more

  Reasons not to believe in John Key’s leadership

  
  
  
  The Energy [R]evolution is Greenpeace’s plan to save the planet from catastrophic climate change. Susan Sarandon narrates the first of three ‘Reasons to Believe’. This one explains why energy efficiency is so important and also so easily achieved, just by small changes such as a switch from traditional lightbulbs to more energy efficient ones. In [...] read more

  Air Freshener: A dose of reality

  
  
  
  The This Is Reality campaign has published their latest “Clean Coal” advertisement. It was directed by Academy-award winners Joel and Ethan Coen and it’s pretty funny. There is no such thing as clean coal, Gerry. read more

  The season has kicked in once again, and first up for the Greens this year was Catherine Delahunty. She was joined by National’s Chris Tremain, Labour’s Grant Robertson and Act’s David Garret. Should the government bail our Fisher & Paykel? Bootcamps for young offenders? These and many other questions are answered online at TVNZ OnDemand’s Back [...] read more

  Kangaroo Court under the LabNats

  
  
  
  I have to laugh out loud when i think that this is the sort of justice that both National and Labour (and others) voted for last year. Well, next week, unless the Nats eat crow as awkwardly as Labour tried to do today in the House, this humourous little video from MohawkMedia, a.k.a. the g33k [...] read more
