We know that as the climate crisis continues, we can expect to see storms like Cyclone Gabrielle happening more often &#8211; unless we take action to stop climate change from getting worse.<\/p>\n\n<p>And yet we have a Government that is intent on <strong>increasing the risk<\/strong> by rolling back efforts to limit climate change.<\/p>\n\n<p>First, we saw the Hipkins Government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/greenpeace-slams-hipkins-u-turn-on-climate-and-roading\/\">shelve or burn even the meagre plans it had for climate action<\/a>, and now we have a Government that wants to restart oil exploration! Neither the last Government nor this one has shown any sign of holding New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter to account. Fonterra and the dairy industry continue to pollute relatively unrestrained despite being New Zealand\u2019s biggest contributor to the climate floods that caused so much harm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>In March 2023, as Fonterra reported a 50% increase in profit, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/fonterra-gets-flooded-by-climate-activists-on-profit-reporting-day\/\">delivered flood-damaged household items to the Fonterra HQ<\/a> in Auckland to underline their complicity in the climate crisis that worsened the damage caused to communities here in Auckland and around the country.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/02\/224d9c96-gp0stvnmj_medium_res.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Greenpeace Aotearoa activists turn dairy giant Fonterra&#8217;s Auckland HQ into flood zone in climate protest.\nThe activists delivered household items damaged in recent flooding from Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland Anniversary floods, with messages saying: Big Dairy, Big Storms.\nGreenpeace is calling for the government to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, which is a key enabler of intensive dairy farming. Greenpeace is also calling for the Government to support farmers to shift to more plant-based organic regenerative farming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Successive Governments have failed to hold the dirty dairy industry to account, but we will not rest until that happens, no matter who is in Government.<\/p>\n\n<p>We will continue calling for an end to the use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser to grow the grass that feeds the oversized dairy herd and for the end of imported feed like PKE that helps drive rainforest destruction in Southeast Asia to feed too many cows here in Aotearoa New Zealand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There is hope to be found<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>In response to this Government\u2019s backwards-facing approach, the climate movement is coming alive again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We have seen some big wins recently, and they remind us that the real power is with us, outside parliament with groups like Greenpeace, with hap\u016b and iwi and with thousands of people like you.<\/p>\n\n<p>Just last week, we saw Northland iwi leader Mike Smith of Ng\u0101puhi and Ng\u0101ti Kahu win his latest fight in the Supreme Court as he seeks to take Fonterra and six other big polluters, including Genesis Energy and Z Energy, to court over the harm their emissions do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has found that Smith has the right to sue the seven big polluters for their role in causing climate change and denied the attempt by Fonterra and others to strike the case out. The Court has found that these big polluters may be liable for the harm their climate pollution causes. It\u2019s not over yet, but that\u2019s a big win for the climate and for all of us!<\/p>\n\n<p>In the USA, following campaigns by Greenpeace and allies, President Biden announced a decision to halt approvals of all fossil gas exports. Again, it\u2019s not the end of that fight there either, but it\u2019s a hugely significant win and shows again what power we have as a movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>And then there\u2019s the win in Norway, where Greenpeace Nordic and Natur og Ungdom (Young Friends of the Earth Norway) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/63954\/environmental-groups-confront-norway-in-court-over-new-oil-fields\/\">secured a historic victory<\/a> against the Norwegian State, rendering the approvals of three oil and gas fields in the North Sea invalid on environmental grounds.<\/p>\n\n<p>I could go on and on, but the point is, as dire as it is to have this new Luxon-led Government seemingly ignoring all evidence and good sense on the need for climate action, we will prevail because the power of the people is stronger than the people in power!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-16603  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse show\"\n\t\t\tid=\"action-card\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-cut-climate-emissions-from-big-dairy\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-1024x678.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-2048x1356.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/06\/e3cbbda9-istock-540374954-510x338.jpg 510w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-cut-climate-emissions-from-big-dairy\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Cut climate emissions from Big Dairy\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Join our call on the Government to go further than the Climate Commission&#8217;s inadequate recommendations and cut climate pollution from NZ&#8217;s biggest polluter: industrial dairying.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-cut-climate-emissions-from-big-dairy\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Take Action\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"not-now\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#action-card\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago this week, Cyclone Gabrielle hit Northland and began tracking down the country, causing widespread damage and killing 11 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":62380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"Cyclone Gabrielle anniversary -
