Luxon Government Off Track To Meet Almost All Climate Targets – Greens
The Climate Commission has today warned that unless we get a serious Government willing to take real action in the next 12 to 24 months, we are at risk of missing almost all of our climate targets.
“Christopher Luxon came to power and shredded climate action, meaning we’re now off track to meet almost all of our climate targets. This isn’t about numbers on a page. This is about people’s lives and livelihoods,” says Green Party Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick.
“New Zealanders have experienced a State of Emergency on average every eight days this year. This isn’t abstract. This is climate change.”
“Luxon’s Government has made active, consistent decisions to make climate change worse for the past three years.”
“They tell us they’re doing this because they want to support the economy. Climate change will cost us billions. They tell us it’s for farmers. Farmers are hit first and worst by climate change.”
“It doesn’t have to be this way. The Greens have shown we can lower bills, build local resilience, protect jobs and adapt to the changing climate by investing sensibly in ourselves.”
“The next 12 to 24 months are, in the Commission’s words, critical. That means that we all desperately need a change of Government, with the Greens at the heart of it, if New Zealanders want real climate action and a lower the cost of living,” says Swarbrick.
We all realised long ago that Luxon et al are not at all interested in Climate issues whether it be targets, policies or actual catastrophes. If they put as much into Climate as they are into destroying our Maori representation/heritage, they would be doing all of us a huge favour. Except Luxon and his lot are so racial it beggars belief. The settlers came here, stole the land from Maori, packed them off down past Te Kuiti and took over our country. Maori own less than 6% of land now – should that be the case? If you think so, go back from where you came – we don’t want you here! And Farmers – are you happy with National’s behaviour towards Climate and for that matter our Maori? Surely not! NZ needs serious action now – this motley lot has stuffed up horribly.
