ACT, NZF and National are climate fascists – why eco terrorism and mass civil disobedience will rise
ACT, NZF and National are Climate Fascists who have done everything to bend over backwards for the interests of the polluters at a time when global warming can no longer be portrayed as a socialist hoax.
The disconnect between the bribed Political class and their polluter donors vs the people living with the realities of climate change is beyond the current political spectrum and I can only see more mass civil disobedience or the rise of eco terrorism.
As the speed of climate change hits us, as the true cost of our denial is realised – protestors will get angrier and angrier at the inaction.
Sometimes the machine is so hateful and evil you have to throw yourself onto the gears to stop it.
Many more activists prepared to step over the laws that protect the polluters will be needed before this country is awake to the existential threat that is climate change caused by man made pollution…
…the recent report on sea warming is so fucking grim and I think pretending shit is going to get better if we recycle, ride a bike and become carbon neutral by 2050 is nothing more than vacant optimism…
I just don’t think the vast majority of Kiwis have any comprehension yet just how bad things are going to get from a purely scientific point of view.
Here is the data…
…and here…
…and here…
…National’s attempt to gloss over the fact they are making climate change far more dangerous was beneath the country’s mana…
Opposition MPs have slammed the Government’s climate change strategy, released today, arguing Climate Change Minister Simon Watts has essentially published a “pamphlet” on climate change to disguise the fact most of the Government’s actions have done little to reduce emissions and many will increase emissions.
The three-page strategy was released the same day the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) published 49 pages of advice on the Government’s decision to reverse the offshore oil and gas exploration ban, which showed the impact of reversing the ban will be an additional 51 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions pumped into the atmosphere in the years to 2050.
For comparison, in the years 2026 to 2030 New Zealand’s net annual emissions are meant to be about 61 megatonnes a year.
Labour’s climate change spokeswoman Megan Woods argued the Government appeared to be getting in ahead of the Climate Change Commission delivering its “monitoring report” – a semi-regular assessment of the Government’s progress towards its multiple climate goals. That report is due to be handed to Watts next week and will be made public no more than 10 days after that.
The Green Party’s climate change spokeswoman Chlöe Swarbrick described the three-page strategy as a “pamphlet” of “pretty pictures” and “some bullet points” that was disconnected from reality.
She noted the irony the Government released the strategy the day the oil and gas ban advice was released.
“Maybe they’ve been embarrassed into releasing this,” Swarbrick said.
Swarbrick said it was rich of Watts to cite market functioning in the plan, given that the Government had only added to uncertainty around the way the ETS functioned. Watts said earlier this year he was not planning any “major or significant” reforms of the ETS, but was “looking at doing some policy changes in regard to where trees can be planted”.
…even though Farmer’s are being warned our international clients are prepared to pay higher prices for environmental products…
ETS exemption: Farmers warned customers’ ‘voices getting louder’ for action
…watching National, ACT and Corporate Farmers use their economic and political muscle to avoid responsibility for what comes next can only be resolved by civil unrest and a campaign of civil disobedience against those interests.
Just consider how the Corporate Farming Lobby have managed to avoid any tax on their pollution since mid 2004!
They have pushed and pushed and pushed it off for 20 years!
National have already promised ANOTHER 5 year extension which will mean the agricultural industry have managed to stop any tax on their pollution for quarter of a century!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Claiming that NZs emissions mean nothing in comparison to China and India isn’t a justification to do nothing, it’s an acknowledgement that radical adaptation is the only move left because those Goliath economies have already doomed us to a dangerous climate change future!
The economic research tells us that our economic future is not more dairy and cheap exports to China and the environmental research tells us we are running out of time…
How climate change will make your life more expensive
The impacts of climate change extend beyond the environment – global warming is also hitting people in their wallets.
From rising insurance premiums to increased energy bills and grocery prices, the economic impacts are wide-ranging. The financial burden of climate change also has the potential to infiltrate our finances in other, more subtle ways.
Here’s how the warming planet could significantly drive up day-to-day costs.
…the vested interests of the polluter class dictate National, NZF and ACT policy. Working within that system will do nothing.
Only mass civil disobedience will revoke the polluters influence.
We are running out of time, the planet is burning.
Clearly every thing is not alright because people have stopped shopping .The right rich cunts are running out of people to fleece now they have sent them to the wall .Soon the rich will be fighting each other to get what the other fells has .Mean while the world burns or drowns .
Because stupid people like you think you are one of the rich pricks and will become Luxons best friend .He is just waiting to shit on you from a great height .But what he cant see is his bosses will soon swoop and take his seven houses because poverty is gushing up as opposed to trickle down .
We’ll be watching…
