Stop burning fossil fuels.
Born at 330 ppm CO2
- We are changing planet in ways we don’t fully understand. By we I mean everyone except climate scientists. They know. The rest of us are in denial or don’t care. Or ‘the problem is to big, what can I do?’ #stopburningfossilfuels
- At the Baring Head measuring station near Wellington it is 423.7 ppm. #stopburningfossilfuels
- How has this govt let the minority parties have so much influence? Time for a change before they drag us any further down. Get writing to your MPs. Tell them Jones & Watts made the wrong call that wasn’t theirs to make. Vote them out #stopburningfossilfuels
- I’m grateful for the help my parents give me, especially now I’m recovering from major surgery. But Dad hates educated people because he sees them as dumb, lacking common sense and practical ability. I’m educated. Two undergraduate degrees. He is silent when I point this out. It still hurts.
- What was GNS has a landslide database. I know this because a friend used to be in the landslide team. Which our current government cut to save money for tax cuts for their rich mates. I also use to ‘dob in a landslide’ when I found them. So the answers are there, you just have to look.
- Last night I attended a talk on the 1855 Wairarapa fault rupture. Today the 171 year anniversary of that event. Most interesting takeaway was that there appears to be evidence that quakes occur in batches with relatively quiet phases in between. ngangaruwakapuke.nz
- I grew up on a farm. When I left home and went to Uni I lived near a 24 hr service station. I could and did go for ice cream at 2 am. 33 yrs later I live in a small town that shuts at 9 pm. It’s 11 pm and I want ice cream. We don’t have any. Milk it is.
- I’m going back to University! I’m so excited! It’s going to be a lot of work juggling 1 homeschooling and 1 at college and still recovering from major surgery, but I’m so excited! Education is awesome! Honours in Climate Change Science and Policy. Who says you can’t have a career change after 50.
- We have 7 bookshops in a town of ~3,000 people. We host a Booktown Festival every May. I’m told we get ~10,000 people through over the weekend of the festival. I’ve run the bookbinding workshop for the last 10 years. I’m beginning preparations for this year. #Booksky
- I came across this content creator because he plays Vintage Story, my son plays it and I wanted to check it out. I’m a geologist so his channel stuck out. Turns out it’s more than just videos of a game. Geology for the win! youtu.be/Rmk6vAQN2p4?...
- I love this graph! It shows our steady shift to higher temperatures. Clearly we live in a temperature range which we are steadily moving in the wrong direction. #stopburningfossilfuels
- Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average. climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...
- Poop. Only 95% renewables today. We are burning coal and gas. We don’t need to, we have the capability to use battery storage to get through the evening peak. #stopburningfossilfuels
- What can I say? This is a known knowable for decades. Climate Scientists have been warning us for decades. And yet here we are. Of course making changes is hard, but from personal experience they save money and are cleaner, better for us over all. #stopburningfossilfuels
- Never too late for climate action. If you can walk, if you can’t walk, cycle, if you can’t cycle take the bus/train. Next time you replace a fossil fuel engine buy electric instead. Write to your MP’s and Ministers. #stopburningfossilfuels
- It’s gonna be hot today. As my husband has been saying for the last few years ‘summer is coming’.
- Oh boy. Here we go. #stopburningfossilfuels
- I miss having a cat. We had to say goodbye to Neo back in August. I miss cuddles and kisses. 😞
- This climate change in action. We need to stop thinking of CC as a future issue and think of it as a current issue. The number of hot days, 25°C and over has steadily increased. We are the frog in the slowly boiling pot. When will we learn? The world is already on fire.
- So I don’t loose this really interesting article on Climate Change.
- Looks like we’ve got some more work to do. Reduce your emissions, help others reduce theirs. Write to your MP’s and Ministers telling them to reduce theirs governments emissions and talk to anyone who will listen. We don’t need to be doing it perfectly we just need to be doing it.
- Happy New Year. We made it out alive, if battered, bruised and with new scars. We lost our beloved Neo (18yrs). We lost 3 chickens 😞 gained 2. We did go fully electric ⚡️ and replaced our roof with white steel. The bad outweighs the good. But we are alive. So into the future we go.
- I read Shaun Hendy’s #nofly book not long after it came out. To be fair I’d not been flying for years anyway. We have had one flight since, coming home from our first family holiday in a decade. So our sons would have the experience. I always look for alternatives now.
- Another text book. Written by astrophysicists. It’s a fantastic blend of graphics, introduction of ideas and expanded concepts. I carry it around with me. I do have a hard time reading white text on coloured pages. But other than that it’s excellent. Would recommend.
