Cathrine Dyer & Bernard Hickey chat about the week's climate news, including how the economic risk from climate damage is calculated, permanent va temporary carbon sequestration, and COP29's kick-off
Would be interesting to see the impact on the government’s balance sheet if climate costs were properly accounted for.
As Piketty pointed out a lot of developed countries governments already have negative assets a position which will look a whole lot worse with the inclusion of climate liabilities.
Just an update. I finally got a meeting with the Minister Simeon Brown. He was very enthusiastic about the ultimate transition to electric. Envisioned an electric future.
He believed gas was the right transition medium for the industry to get to a point that they had enough renewables available and available consistently to power Aotearoa.
He hadn’t seen the Rewiring Aotearoa report but I gave him a hard copy and he said he would read it. He mentioned he had met with Rewiring Aotearoa some time ago.
He listened. I spoke. We conversed. As a democracy should allow.

Indeed it should.
