NZ Fuel Reserves Monitor

Live countdown to NZ fuel depletion — reserve gauges, vessel tracking, Polymarket odds, demand analytics

Our civil emergency institutions sure need some love but at least upper management isn't at risk of suddenly being teleported to a waffle house.

Going to chalk that up as a win

Top US Fema official claims to have teleported to a Waffle House before

‘Teleporting is no fun,’ Gregg Phillips, picked to lead Fema’s office of response and recovery, has said on a podcast

Hearing some incredible stories of oil tankers en route to supply a country turning around mid journey after getting an offer from a higher bidder.

@davidho I grew up in a farming community & can attest it is quite bizarre, sick and cruel. None speak of the artificial insemination, the clots & pus from mastitis, the endless antibiotics to help cows not die, how they are milked by machines while pregnant to be more 'productive', the supercharged estrogen levels in their milk as a result, nor how cows holler for days after their kid is taken, often for fattening before put in a truck for slaughter.

And people think milk from beans is wrong

A look at the rising denialism among the political class in Europe, despite rising #climate awareness and public calls for accountability and adaptation.

The interception of the far right, spinning warming into a culture war, in turn driving up avoidance and cowardice among politicians and policy makers, continues to be a critical impediment to not just mitigation but also adaptation.

Under water, in denial: is Europe drowning out the climate crisis?

Even as weather extremes worsen, the voices calling for the rolling back of environmental rules have grown louder and more influential

The Guardian

Early data from a new Antarctic ice core sample taken by scientists indicates that the West Antarctic ice sheet partially or completely broke into the ocean during a prior era of warming.

The same event is predicted before or by 2100, within the lifetimes of many children today, and is expected to raise sea levels 4-5 meters. The new data however will provide more precision as to when this event would occur.

Storm here, relying on #Meshtastic to stay in touch with family currently knocked off grid. Countless others on the public MT channel reporting flooding, wind damage and outages.

The mesh is holding up very well. Fit for purpose.

First they talked about how the 100 year storms were coming every 10 years

Then they came every 5

Then every year

Then every month

And so they started to talk about the periods of calm

Which came every month

Then every year
