There is no New Zealand left for anyone to aspire to. Most NZ citizens couldn’t even tell you now what a New Zealander is since the very definition of the nation was destroyed by replacing identity with ideology.
Once a government starts distributing national resources to groups and foreign countries, everyone on both sides of the ideological divide realises that there is no more national interest and little point in working toward anything but gaining a maximum economic distribution to their own identity groups.
We watched as New Zealand mobilised very large sums of money during Covid-19 for big businesses, while ordinary people did not benefit. We saw quite clearly how readily businesses will help themselves to profits while passing on losses to society – and now we have to watch the slow crashing of the country as politicians use our taxes to import refugees, send money to Israel or Ukraine, bail out failed corporations and, in particular, to invest in climate change.
Tell us the facts, James Shaw, about the Nationally Determined Contribution Pledge you and Dear Leader Ardern made under the Paris Agreement, to send $34 thousand million dollars – yes, that is thirty-four thousands of millions – out of New Zealand each year for the next ten years.
New Zealand’s first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC1) was updated on 31 October 2021 when we were all locked up and, instead of the ridiculous 30% (the previously promised reduction), someone set the new NDC target to an even more ridiculous 50 per cent reduction – by 2030 – of net emissions below our gross 2005 total. This NDC1 target is economy-wide, covering all sectors and all greenhouse gases. What utter insanity is this?
Our gross greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors for 2022 totalled 82M tonnes more or less, depending on who does the sums when we were still locked up! Are we going to halve that? And still, keep bringing in thousands of immigrants each year? We can’t de-industrialise because we would no longer have any industry. Do we have to destroy our agricultural sector and eat food made in a petri dish? Worse still, is our money going to gold-plated Saudi Arabia to help them reduce their emissions which have nearly doubled since 2005 to 810M tonnes in 2022? Tell us somebody, anybody – where is our money going? Tell us that’s why we can’t afford a functioning health system, good roads, a world class education for our children, a house, food – or, well – anything – because the environment comes first.
Tell us what sort of life is permissible in a world where we are under attack for eating and breathing out?
All ideologies are meant to mentally debilitate people. That includes the climate change ideology. Question it at your peril. Its convoluted language and statistics are difficult to understand because they are meant to be, to scare off enquiring minds.
The facts are that trees only temporarily sequester carbon because they eventually die off and release it all again. If trees were to die after twenty-six years, those planted today would wreak havoc on our 2050 net zero goals.
EVs simply will not work in the sorts of weather conditions that climate change makes more likely and CO2 – typically thought of as nothing more than a harmful waste product of breathing – is a driver of mitochondrial energy production and improves the delivery of oxygen into your cells. CO2 also combats cancer development by lowering the pH of the cell. All plants – including GRASS – breathe in CO2. They can’t grow without it.
The thousands of immigrants arriving here want a house and a car and food – and they get old and sick too. What earthly sense does it make to pursue ZERO carbon emissions while growing the population? Zero carbon means a Mars landscape.
We are now living the impoverished lives these people have made for us – and this is just the beginning because we haven’t even started to make those pie-in-the-sky payments yet.
PM Luxon and Nicola Willis should stand up and state that NZ cannot afford to make this generous NDC gesture after all because we the taxpayers don’t like the look of the looming fiscal hole and we the people of New Zealand don’t want to be the emissions reductions leaders of the world any more.

"Stand up & state" how ?
Referendums have obviously been basically outlawed & if you look into the the statistics on how many petitions are accepted you will soon realise we no longer have a say in how our country is run & haven't for quite some time.
Nothing short of a complete revamp of our entire system of governance will fix this. We have no codified Constitution that sets out the rules parliament must operate under to provide the necessary checks & balances to prevent this type of over reach & our Bill of Rights is worthless as it does not even guarantee the most basic of our inalienable rights, that being privacy, property rights & the right of self defence & we have reached the point where violent criminals have more rights than their victims.
Given that the "Oath of Allegiance" for both our military & police is to King & Crown & not the people of New Zealand (who are their friends & family AND pay their wages), it is no stretch to understand who actually runs the show.
We need a Constitutional Republic more than ever now...
Where are MSM in their coverage of this. The demise of the TV and radio so called journalists can’t come soon enough.
Well said. Maybe msm will publish this as a last gasp of reality and desperation. It wouldn’t hurt them.
The Government shut down the economy and paid businesses funds to cover wages. If they hadn't paid businesses that money the country would have collapsed.
Have you noticed how wrong ideology isn't subtle its blatantly insane ?
There is no chance of China or India reducing emissions. Our trifling amount is of no consequence.
It's all bad science anyway. Co2 amounts to a tiny fractional proportion of the atmosphere and geological studies reveal global warming in the geological past was not related to higher co2 levels.
When are we going to escape from this madness?
It's an open secret (or 'obvious' using different parlance) that such monies are directed at third-World governing despots as a most generous bribe, used to keep their countries from developing lest they would (shock, horror!) emit more greenhouse gases. In effect then this money is used to keep the World's poorest people just the way they are and, as such, constitutes the most heinous of crimes against humanity.
I fail to see the connection between paying billions of dollars to someone else and the reduction of emissions.
They've been asking countries to do this for years and CO2 levels keep creeping up so it evidently doesn't work.
That's because the alternatives to reduce emissions don't work.
Where is the audit trail for this money? Who is given it? What's it spent on? What practical outcomes does it achieve?
Now, I realise to a Left-wing government like Labour, who have no clue where any money goes, these are mere irrelevances but it's very important to us, the tax-payers.
Bottom line, if you give your money away to someone overseas then don't expect to see anything for it. It's called a scam!!!
The whole climate "crisis" is based upon inaccurate models that fail to predict reality. It isn't science, rather it's pseudoscience. A very profitable scam that gullible Kiwis have fallen for, just like renewable energy in the form of wind and solar farms.
