NZ Greenhouse Gas Contribution Insignificant

This is a green energy catastrophe similar to that being experienced in Europe, UK and California. We should take heed.

There is general agreement that New Zealand’s contribution to the production of greenhouse gas is totally insignificant in relation to the total proportion of the world’s greenhouse gas.

Despite the obvious irrelevance of New Zealand’s carbon contribution, the New Zealand government recommends immediate, disastrous changes to New Zealand lives to follow a pattern of “virtue signalling” to the rest of the world.

These changes will choke food production and bring ruinous changes to New Zealand business.

We are prohibited from using clean, quality New Zealand coal but continue to import dirty, low quality coal from Indonesia to supplement our power supply. Already, our deteriorating hydro energy sources are overwhelmed with demand with no plans to expand this grand source of energy.
