Professor Robert MacCulloch: Has Former PM Ardern Become NZ's Single Biggest Individual Emitter of Greenhouse Gases?

Its impossible to keep up with former PM Ardern's emissions of Greenhouse gases.

Where has she travelled on carbon-dumping-into-the-upper-atmosphere long-haul flights this past year? To name just a few, back in November 2023, she flew to Singapore to walk the Green Carpet and give 'Earth Shot' awards including in the category of "clean air". How ironic.

Viv Forbes from Australia: Engineering the Emissions Target Depression

The Climate Change Authority wants Australians to cut their production of carbon dioxide to 19% below 2000 levels by the year 2020.

The climate boffins should employ a demographer before they set such unrealistic goals. The population of Australia in 2000 was about 19 million and it is now 23 million. By 2020 it will probably be over 25 million.

If Australia’s production of carbon dioxide was merely frozen at the 2000 level, that would require a 24% reduction per head of population by 2020. If we add to that a real reduction in total emissions of 19% by 2020, emissions per capita would need to fall by 39% in just 6 years.
