Good to hear this response from Greenpeace International.

Guardian article also mentioning how other US climate groups are planning to try and mobilise Democrats and some Republicans to oppose the shark Trump plans to pull again.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/06/trump-climate-change-environment-threat

What’s happening in NZ? We’ve got a government opening up new fossil fuels where possible, canceling plans such as the successful ones around clean cars and planning just to not pay their Paris agreement costs. Oh and a culture war against non-car transport. 

I mean with the US out, it’s game over surely. Nothing short of immediate mass mobilisation on behalf of our children and grandchildren who are the ones being waged war upon, is really a thing. Court cases? They’ve got the executive, oh and a rigged Supreme Court. They’ll just pass a new law or executive order. If it gets that far. That will be too little too late. 

Fortunately for me there’s a reasonable chance of a variety of volcanic eruptions or megaquakes near Kanto anyway! There’s an outside chance of Taupo going again in NZ too. I won’t have to wait for the fires, cyclones, floods, hurricanes, lifeboaters, etc etc 

Probably enterprising f-rs buying up north of Auckland and planting bananas and coffee…
Obviously the US climate activists and groups, even with the support of Democrats and maybe Republicans, won't be able to do this all on their own, they will need all the support they can get from the EU and other international climate organisations like Greenpeace.

In terms of potential repercussions for us and other countries, there is this coming up in December (before Trump returns to power) with the International Court of Justice. There is not yet a confirmation of the number of countries expected to speak, though the article mentions 62 nations and organisations have written comments to the court. The judges on the case are also not expected to deliver their verdict until sometime next year, but it could deliver something decent going forward.

Trying to keep positive in this ever-growing sharkshow of a world, especially after yesterday.
