So are we going to pay this $26Billion Climate Change Fine or not?
Ummm, so are we going to pay this $26Billion Climate Change Fine or not?
Officials warned the Labour Government in September that Aotearoa is set to miss its Paris target commitments by 114 megatonnes of emissions by 2030, which would have to be met by buying international emissions credits at a cost of up to $26 billion, yet none of this is included in Treasury’s contingent liabilities in the Budget;
No one is talking about this $26Billion fine we are going to have to pay by not meeting our Paris target!
Labour tried to get the Farmers to support an emissions cut, but they screwed Labour and the Greens over by reneging on it leaving us with an enormous
National/ACT/NZF won’t target agricultural emissions and they won’t promote public transport, so there’s no way we will reach our target and we are going to be fined $26Billion!
Let me guess, The National/ACT/NZF Government will refuse to pay the credits to offset missing our international agreements while passing gang law that breaches human rights.

Get Fonterra to pay the bill.
The whole carbon dealing seems to be smoking mirrors . We pollute and find another country to grow trees to offset the pollution. In Chch we have vast spaces of red zone land that could be reforested to absorb both pollution and rain
. Why is it not being done or have I missed the point in the way it all works

It’s entirely possible we decided to ignore it. As will many other governments. So, if the majority of Western governments thumb their nose at it, what then?
Hard to ignore something they are all for. So, selling the family jewels is an obvious candidate but whatever, they will pay and we will just have to cop it. That’s democracy for ya.
