In coming months, you’ll hear Shane Jones and the coalition Govt justify reverting to oil & gas exploration by chanting “jobs for the regions”.
Don’t be fooled.
There are more jobs in clean energy —and they are SECURE jobs.
Oil and gas is a sunset industry.
It’s not just climate change that’s a threat to our future. It’s fossil fuel expansion.
Exploiting new oil and gas fields is incompatible with avoiding tipping points and feedback loops that will begin to make a runaway climate catastrophe unstoppable.
That is why we must resist oil 👇
A message for Chris Luxon and his Coalition of Climate Chaos, from Germany's state secretary and special representative for international climate policy:

Dutch oil giant Shell has launched an intimidation lawsuit against Greenpeace UK and Greenpeace International, demanding that the organisation stop all protests at Shell infrastructure, at sea or in port
Great!
Hopefully, in this new role, Jacinda Ardern will speak out in defence of the ban on offshore oil exploration now that it’s under threat by the new Government.
It was her most significant act for the environment as Prime Minister.

An inexperienced Chris Luxon is about to inflict reputational damage on himself, the National Party and New Zealand if he pursues his reckless and ill informed threat the restart oil and gas exploration: https://www.newsroom.co.nz/luxon-is-about-to-inflict-reputational-damage-with-oil-and-gas-exploration
If Chris Luxon can get away with restarting oil exploration in the Climate Crisis, he can get away with anything.
Let’s draw a line in the sand.
