Regime admits its wishful thinking won't work, and its now only meeting its carbon budget by an accounting scam www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Cancelled Kapuni carbon storage scheme scrapped from national emissions plan
Despite a raft of climate policy cuts, the country is still on track to narrowly meet its greenhouse gas budget - but not a 2030 methane target set in law.

Getting nudged to drop some #SecretSantaAoNZ hints!

I’m on a food systems + distributed social media + marine mycology buzz at the moment so ah yeah, good luck with that 😅

I also have very low threshold to trigger happiness so basically anything is good!

Was wondering if there was fungi lived in the sea last week.

Turns out that this has been extremely under-researched. But just recently water sampling in the Atlantic leads to an estimate of the global weight of fungi carbon to be 0.32 gigatons - which is a lot!
Check out our latest dispatch where we make a (very convincing ☺️) case that marine #mycology is the next big thing and highlight a recent paper by Breyer et al.

Marine fungi have biomass = 22 MILLION blue whales!

Some leaked (not verified) info on the puberty blocker trial linked here. In my own thread I will briefly highlight the two key measures they are prioritising. A short thread 1
A Substacker named Ben Ryan tweeted that "the long-awaited UK puberty blocker clinical trial protocol is out."

Shortly thereafter he deleted the post. I can't find a public version of the protocol but here's what I was able to salvage from the screenshot + post.

I’m playing a real-life version of “Is it Cake?” with the new released food compliance exemption for all types of cake in Aotearoa NZ - the only class of food exempt!

How soft does a biscuit need to before it’s a cake?

When does banana bread become banana cake?

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
