They won't want to panic their masters..I mean the markets

A competent govt would consider announcing that it's nearly time to move to phase 3 given Kuwait's FM
Unless given that we were the latest country to form a FTA with Kuwait we could somehow persuade them to favour us... big question of course is how to do this... Todd McClay?

oops I forgot to say similarity to the Fuel response plan

next step govt to run an exercise

footnote did this b4 I retired

On that
Having had a lot to do with energy and proactively implementing the Natural Gas Critical Contingency Plan in our heavy industry in terms of exercise participation I can't help but notice the similarity in terms of curtailment bands which work v well so maybe I should give them more credit...

Depends on how tight they think they are diplomatically with Kuwait ... maybe as we are the most recent country to sign a FTA with the GCC they're hoping on that... but yeah who knows what they're thinking we'll never get a straight word out of Luxon

But, but... will they be looking to Todd McClay to come to the rescue given he got them the FTA?
Guess there's no sleep in the beehive tonight ...

Well did Kuwait just deliver the knock-out blow?

The irony is they blame Labour for blaming Covid yet they'll be blaming Iran ( not The Fanta Führer) for their own failure

But yeah the charade must go on to the bitter end as the diesel runs low and the order of priority is mismanaged and the supermarkets run low...

But yeah keeping up appearances just doesn't cut the Mustard

Reminds me of the time when trying to push mgmt in a big business I worked in to decide on a technical proposal for a very critical piece of air pollution control equipment we needed and they wanted to decide via rhetoric instead of facts and data I had done untold work to provide.. it blew my mind

C'mon Alan, Shame & Trickola will have it in hand he's the CEO after all he'll eventually read their briefing paper...

Yep if it's not posturing or in his plutocratic agenda he's not proactive

What worries me is when the vile leave who will take their place viz. Collins & BVV

True but as the other post I made earlier re the AMOC timeframe we ain't got much time to do so

Nature is precious
We are not alone
#biodiversity

A key solution to climate change isn't happening – and that's good Removing CO2 from the atmosphere by capturing the carbon from burning biomass is supposed to save the planet, but it looks like the flagship project will never happen

Somehow a nonexistent technology became the 'official' solution to global warming. It's good it's not happening because it would be ridiculously expensive and catastrophic for biodiversity. Oh, and it wouldn’t even work either

100 Times Worse? Thawing Permafrost May Be More Dangerous Than Previously Thought Thawing permafrost may release greenhouse gases much faster than previously expected, potentially accelerating climate change even further.

Scientists: "Across the planet, permafrost is estimated to hold about 1700 billion tons of carbon, roughly three times the amount currently present in the atmosphere."

Picture of street filled with people when cars are prohibited, with a prominent sign saying “road closed.” Via Urban Truth Collecrive (Also, it’s a street, not a road)

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong?

Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

Humans are not part of shark diet and sharks do not hunt humans
Most shark bites are cases of mistaken identity—where swimmers or surfers resemble seals or fish
Yet Hollywood has never made one movie telling the true nature of sharks
Spielberg made millions for portraying sharks as monsters

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!
