Instead of paying 235 Million to COP, to countries like China and India we should spend the money back home. This money paid overseas to countries that account for 86% of all new planned Coal and Gas power stations - countries that are Nos 86 and 93 on the world corruption list... money well spent? Post 2026, this amount will exceed $500 million going overseas to the same corrupt countries while our power bills will go up due to a lack of investment in LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

We have a lot of emissions from things like concrete, if the way concrete was manufactured changed nationally we could cut emissions by 20%. We are 0.01% of the worlds emissions we are now a poor country. We need to get our perspective right, get the country with a proper infrastructure then we can look at luxuries like our tiny emissions. Keep in mind the emissions people are the same one that said the hole in the ozone would never close and it's closing. We as a country were heavily effected by the hole we never received any compensation we didn't make the hole were too small as a country. So sorry emissions can wait.
The hole in the ozone closing was the result of strong collective international action to phase out the harmful chemicals that caused its creation. If anything its an argument in favour of action on climate change.
@red2seata they agree it is a luxury the changes in practices or added costs around farming for cow farts is ridiculous. Cost of food will only increase, more farmers will decide it's not worth it and less food will be produced pushing food costs up further. Then foreign investment for buying farms will happen and NZ won't own the food we produce. Again context we make 0.01% of the worlds emissions if NZ sank into the ocean we wouldn't make any difference to climate so yes a luxury.

Having alternative energy sources is good. But scale is an issue. And renewables require replacement in 20 years or so. Growth is our fundamental issue. We can’t or shouldn’t grow.
Probably due to the concise answers that Rod gave, his wide knowledge of the subject in question and the logic of his approach to the issue. All of which were sadly lacking for Luxon.
Climate patterns are influenced by natural factors like volcanic activity, water vapor, and solar cycles, not just human CO₂ emissions from us is very little compared to nature itself. CO₂, essential for plant life, has driven a greener Earth and boosted agricultural productivity over the past 50 years. CO₂ makes up less than 0.04% of the atmosphere, and its classification as a pollutant remains scientifically debatable. Scaling wind and solar energy faces environmental challenges, including extensive land use and resource-heavy lithium mining.
@@neil3488 On point yeah Rod has a lot of misinformation; The reality is that convection and conduction, not radiation from greenhouse gases, are the primary ways heat moves through the atmosphere. Historically, this was well understood, but today CO2 is wrongly emphasized. The concept of a "global average temperature" also oversimplifies Earth's diverse climate system, which has always undergone natural changes. The focus on CO2 ignores other significant factors like natural cycles, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions. The singular focus on CO2 creates an illusion of control over Earth's complex climate.
@@SuperHone12 Climate scientists have accounted for everything you mention and still conclude that human activity (agriculture, industrialisation, burning fossil fuels, etc.) is the cause for the trend in global warming. The evidence is overwhelming.
It won't make a dent in a reduction to the planet! But It will make your children poorer like it's doing now! Expect energy prices just doubling over and over into the next century! Great times! 🤣

NEW ZEALAND DIDNT SIGN ANY COMMITMENT! it was signed by a man who had no public support and was on his way out.

Brilliant interview. Here's a radical idea for Labour/Greens: Wealth tax to fund green energy infrastructure. Wealthy people like Bruce Plested of Mainfreight have publicly stated that they will pay a wealth tax if they felt the Government wouldn't waste the money. Placing the tax revenue collected from a wealth tax into a green energy fund may well be a winning policy.
All a wealth tax will achieve is to have wealth and employment generators leave and take their wealth with them. Idiotic suggestion and Chippy is only pushing it so he can buy an election and be PM regardless of the cost to the population.
This guy is incredible. I wish our politicians held the same degree of expertise in their respective portfolios. When are we going to move away from electing based on popularity. Sure politics requires a certain skill set of its own but it blows my mind that we can have a ceo of a company come in and just be prime minister of a country. I think you should be a proven expert in a field before entering politics then hold senior positions in government or oppositions for at least two terms of parliament before even being considered as a prime minister. The issues are so vast and nuanced, surely you need experience to understand how all the issues gel together and how you can make balanced decisions that addresses all the competing priorities.
Then why are power generators, reducing their generation capacity to store energy while at the same time doubling their investment in a product that will fail within 10 years. Likewise this push towards EVs, importing EVs in crippling the economy, and you just need to look at the extreme lengths America goes to in an attempt to isolate the car market to locally made. He wants to talk about chemistry of gases, but not the chemistry of energy, despite a requirement to discuss energy. There are so many holes in his argument, just a parrot with a title we are suppose to respect. One thing i think he highlights is how the likes of the Human Rights Commission allowed pretty much every single right to be eradicated during Covid19, if not for the last decade as woman have been pathwayed into public leadership. I was hoping for some insightful understanding as to the challenge, but its just a script, a parrot the same old talking points with nothing new, nothing abstract, and ultimately paying very close attention to what hes saying. Which goes to show an attempt to hide something from the public.
The is a bias fool like Tame. Tame asked Carr about one thing that would make a real difference. His answer was ban gas to private homes. I think the alarmism is wrong but say I am wrong then the thing that would make the biggest difference would be nuclear power as will happen in Oz if there is a change of government there.

His career depends on it .
You may be able to survive it but your kids and their kids are going to be dealing with a climatic horror show.
Until the Government stops giving the dairy industry a free pass, the rest of us pay the price.

Oh stop this nonsense. You greenies are nuts 🥜
The dairy industry makes our economy stronger, so what’s going to fill the gap?
The dairy industry is the only thing keeping the NZ economy above water .
@@AnnSmith-u9c The dairy industry in its present form is under risk of becoming redundant due to emissions related trade barriers and precision fermentation production methods of its base products. Organically produced dairy products compete strongly against both these threats but most of NZ's dairy production is far from Organic, and still has to be transported to distant markets with food miles implications.
NZ cant change anything.

Unfortunately, I think you're right 😭 but, we can grow food, reduce our dependence on outside influences and love more ♥️
