The Love Oat – Morgan Maw, Boring Oat Milk
New Zealand grows great oats and makes excellent oat milk, in Sweden. Yes NZ oats are shipped to Sweden where they are processed and returned to our shores to be bottled and sold as NZ-made. That hardly seems the sustainable alternative we all hope for. The madness of that scenario is finally being redressed by a new player – the Boring Oat Milk. Vincent speaks to Boring founder Morgan Maw.

Vote Climate! The Team Aiming for the Vector Board, via Entrust
Coming up: an election you probably won’t vote in for an entity you’ve probably not heard of. That’s right, it’s the tri-annual vote for the Entrust board, the majority shareholder of Vector Energy, Auckland’s electrical lines company.
But wait, before you turn over and go to sleep, this time around it’s different. A consortium of climate campaigners and motivated professionals is challenging the comfortable incumbent alliance of C&R, formerly known as Citizens and Ratepayers, which have dominated the Entrust board for the last 500 years. To explain what they’re up and what it all means for the climate, I’m joined by Rohan MacMahon and Dewy Sacayan, candidates in the new party which is called More For You Better for Climate.

IPCC Report part 3 – The insider’s guide, with Professor Dave Frame
This week Vincent is joined by Professor Dave Frame, Director of the New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute (CCRI) at Victoria University and a lead author on the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This is the third part of our series on IPCC report, so Vincent asked if Dave could give us an insider’s view of how the IPCC works, on the science of warming and the role of methane in global heating a topic of huge importance to NZ.
We’d be hard-pressed to find someone more qualified. Dave has a background in physics, philosophy and policy. Previous posts have included research positions at the University of Oxford’s Departments of Physics and Geography, and as Deputy Director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. He has also worked at the New Zealand Treasury, and served on secondment at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change.
