We see this as a major win not just for us, but for the whole movement of people fighting against fossil fuels,\u201d says Greenpeace Executive Director, Russel Norman<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love this planet and our kids, and we\u2019ll continue to fight to protect them from oil companies that want to destroy the climate in order to make profits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe science is clear &#8211; if we want our kids to have a safe climate, we can\u2019t afford to burn most of the oil, gas, and coal we\u2019ve already discovered. It makes no sense to look for more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charges laid against Greenpeace for the action were dropped by MBIE several months ago.<\/p>\n<p>The environmental organisation had crowdfunded a boat, Taitu, to confront the Amazon Warrior 60 nautical miles out to sea, and Norman and Howell swam in front of it, stopping it from searching for oil and gas for the day.<\/p>\n<p>A year on, the Coalition Government made the historic decision to bring an end to new offshore oil and gas exploration permits on the basis that taking action on climate change is necessary and urgent.<\/p>\n<p>Norman says he had no choice but to confront the Amazon Warrior as it searched for oil and gas in New Zealand\u2019s seabed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs seas rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, we\u2019re facing the reality that if we delay climate action any longer, the consequences for us and our kids will be irreversible,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>High profile climate experts and leaders, including the former President of Kiribati, Anote Tong; one of the world\u2019s leading climate scientists, James Hansen; 350.org founder, Bill McKibben; and UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change lead author, James Renwick of Victoria University provided supporting statements for Norman and Howell.<\/p>\n<p>Norman says the discharge without conviction will set an important precedent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll around the world we\u2019re seeing a growing groundswell of people, communities, and governments standing up to the fossil fuel industry and taking bold action in the race to curb catastrophic climate change. We need this resistance if we are going to win this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fellow activist, Howell, says it\u2019s been encouraging to see how effective peaceful protest can be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI needed to take action because all of the life on this planet &#8211; in its oceans, mountains, rivers, forests, and cities &#8211; is marvellous and brilliant. It is delicately balanced and too special to destroy,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Peaceful civil disobedience makes change happen. From Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat on the bus, to the non-violent resistance to M\u0101ori land confiscation at Parihaka; history tells us that peaceful protest is not only necessary, but it works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always thought it would be someone else &#8211; someone wiser, greater, more skilled, or a better speaker. It was empowering to finally do something physical about an issue I care about so deeply. It doesn\u2019t need to someone else. When you do something for love, you can do anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace\u2019s flagship, the Rainbow Warrior is currently in New Zealand touring the country to celebrate New Zealand\u2019s ban against new oil and gas permits, which came on the back of a seven-year campaign against offshore oil. The organisation has has just unveiled the next part of the campaign &#8211; a plan called \u201cSolarise New Zealand\u201d &#8211; which would see half a million homes solarised over the next 10 years with money currently being used to subsidise the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3042\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
