I’m just wondering if the fossil fueled vehicle elimination applies to the Elites and politicians. And, what about their use of fossil fueled airplanes. And, what of tourists coming in on fossil fueled planes? And all the goods brought to the island nation on fossil fueled planes and boats?
Climate Change: New Zealand to Phase Out Petrol Cars and Slash Cow Herds
New Zealand unveiled a blueprint Sunday to phase out petrol-powered cars while its dairy industry, a key pillar of the economy, must slash cow numbers under the ambitious plan to be carbon neutral by 2050.
The changes are among a raft of recommendations presented to the government by the Climate Change Commission on steps New Zealand must take to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change.
Commission chairman Rod Carr acknowledged the advice was ambitious but said it was realistic and made a clear case for “immediate and decisive†action.
“As a country, we need transformational and lasting change to meet our targets,†he said.
“There are a few actions that are critical to meeting our targets: electric vehicles, accelerated renewable energy generation, climate-friendly farming practices and more permanent forests, predominantly natives.â€
The commission wants to end imports of petrol-powered cars by 2032 and projects that more than half of all light vehicle travel would be in electric vehicles by 2035.
And the other half would be on what, exactly? Since most people won’t be able to afford EVs. And what of construction vehicles and other big vehicles for things like moving goods around the country? Oh, and what kinds of ships will be bringing those EVs to New Zealand? What are they powered by?
“Action on climate change is critical to our ongoing economic success. New Zealand exporters rely on our clean, green brand and there will be new opportunities for Kiwi businesses as we adapt to a zero-carbon economy.â€
How are they going to export their products? Sailing ships? Do these climate cultists even consider this stuff, or is it all just emotion and bullshit?
