Labour govt 2020-23

[peetter]

Shaw and Adern have now pledged to cut NZ’s emissions by 50% in 9 years, and will ‘save the world’ by destroying our main export industries and standard of living.

New Zealand is responsible for 0.17% of global emissions.

Welcome to the Red / Green horror show & its plan to sacrifice New Zealand on the altar of climate change dogma.

In the 9 years that we will
be destroying and dismantling our way of life, China - responsible for 26% of global emissions - will be increasing its emissions each and every year.

If there are 8 years left to ‘save the planet’, where is a global appeal to China (and India) to reverse course? Shaw should be at COP getting real and lobbying for this global appeal. Destroying the New Zealand economy is not going to ‘save the planet’. In any case, we are better placed than most nations to adapt to change.

‘New Zealand increases climate pledge, aims to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.’

‘“To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C, the science shows we now have about eight years left to almost halve global greenhouse gas emissions," Shaw said.’

tbh. Labour was aiming to build 100 000 houses in 10 years and it's now on track to be done in 396 more years.

Time for the Left to stop telling blatant lies about what NZ can achieve. China has already said that they will continue to increase their emissions over the same period that we will (apparently) be halving ours. Time to start dealing with the reality of the situation.

In itself the pledge/"goal" may or may not be an issue.

However history shows us that that as a country we will very likely face significant issues, from both the intended & unintended consequences of their poor decision making. Especially when Shaw & Ardern force through various crack-pot legislative measures, all supposedly in an attempt to blindly achieve their UN pandering pledges.

But it makes money to be green.

The unintended consequence is being rich beyond our dreams (and hopefully fairly distributed).

Ardern and Shaw's plan for NZ contribution for climate change.

Spend over $1 billion per year, (every year), on pollution for our pacific neighbours, (not here on our rivers or clean tech etc).
What a plan, must be our nuclear moment....... Pay someone else to cut our emissions.
The rest of the world will move into the future and we will stay behind milking cows. Wow, that must have taken some thought..... Very inspiring.

[Panda-NZ-]

There's also the EV subsidy.

Ardern doesn't believe in climate change, she believes in apartheid, and doesn't mind lying to get elected.

There's also the EV subsidy.

Wow, that will fix things.

NZ Herald headline "Dramatic shift: NZ now aims to halve emissions in nine years"

Yea, by paying someone else to do it!

Labour's bad enough, but what the heck has happened to the green party?

and hopefully fairly distributed

And who will decide what 'fair' means? You? A panel of marxist intellectuals? Let us know.
