Four members of the Greenpeace climate rescue team scale the 150-metre high smoke stack at the Huntly coal-fired power station and start unfurling a banner that reads: "Climate killer". Due to safety concerns they remove the banner before it is fully deployed. However, another group of activists successfully lay a 45-metre banner on the coal conveyor, which reads "Climate change starts here" with an arrow pointing to the coal station.

Greenpeace will launch a report called "New Zealand Energy Revolution: How to prevent climate chaos" today, which is the first extensive examination of how New Zealand can restructure its energy system to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the worst effects of climate change.
