Great article as ever by @RodOramNZ, covering the wins of #COP28 even if they weren't the transformational wins we were hoping for (and so desperately need).

We are completely out of sewing machines in the Lower North Island (where we have most demand).
Do you have a neighbour, aunt, or church group you could spread the word?
We gather secondhand sewing materials to pass on to new New Zealanders from a refugee background.
Well that was a decent rumble. I got the Google Earthquake Early Warning ping on my phone for that one #eqnz.
I mean look at that drawing of Aotearoa 👌🏼
PSA: Pretty sure I achieved some new #MumStripes this morning.
My kid and his mate yell to another of his mates in front of all the other parents: "We're going to the pub after school today!!!"
Other kid: "Me too! What pub are you going to?"

This is more relevant than ever in the time of climate change - this could be our kids, our grandparents, our neighbours. The best way to protect our communities is by voting for resilient, safer, long-term climate policies.

It's taking all my strength not to passively aggressively *thank* keyboard warriors for assisting the algorithms in reaching more people with their negative comments on social media accounts I manage.
"The Policy.nz tool has no other purpose than to provide voters with all the information they need to make a truly informed vote this election."
Love this for our democracy.

It could be the single most effective thing you can do for the #ClimateEmergency with the greatest impact.
This one was a real eye-opener 👀 for me!
🌊 ❄ I knew Antarctica's sea-ice was important, but I really didn't understand how important.

💧 A long-distance lament for sea-ice.
📫 Day 3️⃣ of my Antarctic Climate Visuals Series has landed!
Inspired by the @smcnz's ‘Expert Reaction’ piece sciencemediacentre.co.nz/202…
@mkrapp3000 (@gnsscience) provides this great analogy of typical sea-ice extent & loss in 2023.

💥 This isn't the🌡️highest temperature ever recorded in #Antarctica either; it's 'just' the largest deviation from the average temperature. That 'honour' goes to a UN-verified 18.3°C temperature recorded on the #AntarcticPeninsula in 2020. 7/8
