I helped @petersankoff put together Aotearoa’s first textbook on animal welfare law.
If you think our animal welfare standards are world leading, I have a bridge to sell you. #ccbc19 #edsclimatechat

“Riding a bike to work in the morning has about 200 easily identifiable barriers...”
Well. Yeah, but if you’re on a bike you can bunnyhop over those barriers and that’s rad. #ccbc19 #edsclimatechat

The problem is not with consumers. Saying consumers are to blame for the #climate crisis isn’t visionary and daring. It’s shifting blame away from those who have structurally rigged the game to preserve a high emissions economy. #edsclimatechat #ccbc19

Why don’t I own an electric vehicle?
Um. Because I don’t own a car. Ride bikes for life etc. #ccbc19 #edsclimatechat

Or (c) National is banking on access to international carbon markets under rules that haven't been agreed yet and might well never be agreed... #CCBC19 #EDSClimateChat #CCBC2019

The NZ ETS was established in 2008 by @DavidParkerMP. I know because I wrote my dissertation in law on it in the summer that National was elected into government.
It was not established under the last National government. #CCBC19 #edsclimatechat

For @ScottSimpsonMP: National submitted our 30% off 2005 levels Paris NDC.
If we cut biological methane by only 10% by 2030, meeting this NDC will need the rest of economy to cut emissions by over 52%.
How can you say that’s unfair to farmers? #ccbc19 #ccbc2019 #edsclimatechat

It’s been a long time since @EmilyAHickson and I worked together on @FastForClimate back before Paris - and now we’re both speaking (with entirely different hats from back then!) at #ccbc19 #edsclimatechat

The @naish_tim slide using @ReisingerAndy’s graphs to show how NZ decarbonisation is lagging behind should be a wake up call for #ccbc19 #edsclimatechat - but how much worse would the picture be if all six Kyoto greenhouse gases were factored in?

Winning slowly is losing. Current targets are insufficient. And current policies don’t achieve those weak targets. #edsclimatechat #ccbc19

A round of applause for @SilverLiningGS’s policy work on the NZ ETS in the 2000s at #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat.
I reckon she deserves another, louder, longer one for her own 10th anniversary celebration - m.youtube.com/watch

There are many reasons why we should stick with deploying electric light rail in Auckland not trackless electric teams. So. Many. Reasons. #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat

No country that “jumped on the bus” in agreeing to the Paris Agreement “without knowing where it was going”.
The difference was & is not as simple as “renegotiating the Paris deal”. This is all about what differentiation (as agreed in Paris) means. #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat

TLDR for @SustainableAkl’s talk: Cities worldwide are doing totally amazing things to make people’s lives better, cut emissions and build resilience. Auckland can too. #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat

Debating what’s more difficult between #climate adaptation or mitigation is fundamentally backwards thinking. Both are hard. And they impact on each other absolutely. #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat

There’s no question that the world is acting. Outliers like Trump don’t deserve a lot of the focus we give them. US emissions are falling, and there’s nothing Trump will do to change that. #ccbc18 #EDSClimateChat
