Extreme weather scientists warn of impending funding drought 'Some nerd sitting in an office' doesn't seem like exciting research to fund but it's answering urgent questions about severe weather, a climate scientist says.

These are the kind of people we will be needing more of as climate change worsens. The extreme weather events around the country are a stark reminder that the coalition govt. is plucking out the eyes of our research system by reducing $ / shifting $ to things they think will make $$ fast.

Quiet, sweeping changes to Treaty clauses could lower te Tiriti to its weakest legal standard in #NZ. The change shifts the Treaty to just another factor that can be considered before any decision

Govt ignored advice from its advisory group, which recommended no substantive changes and no repeals

I read somewhere about how when we lose someone close, our brains literally have to rebuild themselves. All those neural pathways were built on having Tony in your life. It takes time to rebuild. Time and energy. It's an exhausting process. Be gentle on yourself. There's a lot of work happening.

Exclusive: Government quietly agrees to repeal number of Treaty references in laws Ministers made the decision but until now hadn't told the public.

"It’s closed out. It's finished. We voted it down yesterday, and it's over, and we're moving forward." - Luxon

They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused.

Homelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-Säätiö Asunnottomien ihmisten määrä on kääntynyt kasvuun. Nyt asunnottomien määrä kasvoi Helsingissä, vaikka asunnottomia asutettiin vuoden aikana vaikuttava määrä.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

Business confidence reflects reckons and vibes, not facts Comment from Victoria University: Surveys are useful insights into how companies feel about the economy, but they're not the best measures of economic performance

Surveys of ‘business confidence’ don’t measure the economy—just “how the business community FEELS about the economy.”

And the data shows that business confidence is “systematically higher under National-led governments, irrespective of the actual economic conditions.” newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/15/b...

Managed retreat for communities to decide, not government - David Seymour Parts of the North Island have been repeatedly hit by extreme weather events in recent years.

David Seymour says government should abdicate responsibility for people/communities that need to relocate because of climate change. #nzpol

ACT priorities: Lower wages, dismantle the public service, assist landlords, the uber wealthy & corps. Vote ACT so your taxes aren’t spent on you.

This template could easily be applied to certain ministers in the NZ government who moved from roles where they lobbied for an industry to being ministers responsible for regulating that industry, and have made industry-friendly law changes.

Nobody cares....

A page in a book with two recipes for Fig Jam and fir Fig and Pear Jam.

Just in case you need a recipe. 🙂

This stuff seems like such a no-brainer. We could be doing this - starting with new parking lots and moving toward requiring retrofitting.

Parking lot designs are pretty standard — it wouldn't be hard for a few businesses to stand up turnkey offerings.

Fig jam is excellent....
