Yesterday Greenpeace staff hit the streets of Auckland to sign people on to the Sign On petition. We had about 30 people out and in two hours we signed 1125 people on! Spirits were high and I think everyone relished the idea of...
The world is on the brink of runaway climate change and it's time to get serious. That's why this year, Greenpeace has launched the most urgent, ambitious and important campaign we've ever run. It's called Sign On and you're looking...
It’s now the day after the end of the Copenhagen fiasco. After a day of reflection my assessment is the same. It was a massive failure of diplomacy brought about by two problems - a complete lack of ambition by developed country...
John Key has landed! And with quite a thump. He just delivered what can only be described as a very promising speech to the Copenhagen conference, in which he clearly acknowledged the needs of vulnerable nations, and called for all...
This is big news. A confidential UN analysis obtained by the Guardian reveals that the emissions cuts offered so far at the Copenhagen climate change summit will lead to global temperatures rising by an average of 3C. ...
Tuvalu´s strong stance for a legally binding treaty so powerful countries don´t wriggle out of their commitments continued today. As a result more meetings were postponed and diplomats, NGOs and media scurried around to find out the...
The countdown is over and the time for excuses has run out. Nearly 15,000 delegates from around the world have gathered in Copenhagen for the most important meeting of our time. Next week, they will be joined by over 100 heads of state...
With just over 24 hours to go until we officially land on Planet A , there is much nervous glancing out the window and logging on to meteorological websites. That said, we're choosing to ignore the story running on Stuff: "Heavy rain...
Today, as the Canadian prime Minister announces that he also is now attending the Copenhagen climate talks, we've just spotted another offering from 'PlumedKiwi' over at The Standard blog. Another installment in his alternate John Key...
There has been a lot of speculation in the media over what will be decided at the Copenhagen climate talks. Will a legally binding agreement be reached? Will it be a “politically binding agreement?” Will it be something else? The...
Scotland has adopted a 42% climate change target. That, and a wee rumour of free whisky, encouraged me to attend a side event organised by the Scottish Government. Unfortunately there wasn’t any free whisky, but I did learn a lot...
It’s been a dramatic first day at the climate change negotiations here in Barcelona and it’s fair to say frustration with developed countries like New Zealand has exploded. The Kyoto Protocol negotiations are currently suspended. Until...
View Map The peninsula is bounded by the sea to the North and East, the Kampar river to the south, and has smaller rivers and canals crisscrossing it. The landscape is surrounded by water – and beneath the forest is one of the...
Comedian Rhys Darby has helped kick off a nationwide fund-raising drive to help pay Prime Minister John Key’s way to the UN climate talks in Copenhagen in December, with a “Darby Barbie” in Auckland. “Some say I'm pretty handy on the...

Last night, the final public climate change 2020 target consultation wrapped up in Nelson. It was a lively crowd with 180 odd people packing the Rutheford Hotel. The mood was upbeat, and like all the consultations I’ve attended, the...
Today the New Zealand delegation is getting a bouquet not a brick-bat. They made a very good intervention (short speech) in negotiations over the Kyoto Protocol. It’ll take a bit to explain why it was a good thing, so bear with me...
With a BBQ hosted by Lucy Lawless, a lifeboat named Copenhagen, and poem by Rhys Darby titled Global Warning (watch this space for the video) we officially launched the Sign On campaign on Saturday. With a host of big name climate...
Helping out a struggling opposition party certainly wasn’t the objective of our march against mining. But it seems to have been an unintended consequence. Labour is high on protest , according to the Herald’s political editor. ...
Just incase you thought NZ's mining plans were going down well in the outside world, check out this scathing assessment of them by the world's largest environmental conservation authority. Word has it that the creator of the "100%...
