One graph highlights all that is wrong with the fight against climate change in NZ
On the eve of failure at COPOUT26 it’s important to walk away from the bullshit attempt to individualise climate change…
…for NZ that reality is the above chart. These are the companies causing the climate crisis, not individuals!
The problem for the Greens philosophically is they are wedded to identity politics and the millennial policing of micro aggressions so attempting to pull focus away from individuals to the economic hegemonic structure isn’t their skill set any longer.
We need to be far kinder to individuals and far crueler to Corporations.
We should start by moving away from seeing cycling, veganism and recycling as the personal solutions and we should start taxing those profiting from the pollution!
By constantly pretending the individual can fix the climate crisis by riding a bike, eating tofu and sorting your plastics we let the corporations responsible for the pollution to get away with murder.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

I agree, Ada.
It is we, the people, who are responsible for climate change. Climate change has nothing to do with corporations, big business or the economic system we all live under that demands constant growth.
The problem is we, the people, always has been, always will be, hence why the remedies for addressing climate change fall largely on, again – we the people!
Yeah right….
Cmon its like saying the devil made me do it
Or saying god is going to save us.
Touché.
But I think divine intervention [which I believe in] is all we have left TBH
Desire is a trap; desirelessness is liberation.
Desire is the creator; desire is the destroyer.
Desire is the universe.
