Kiwiblog has taken the time to analyse New Zealand's performance on The International Climate Change Performance Index. The whole post is worth a read but we quote:
"The emissions trend is about whether or not actual emissions are heading in the right or wrong direction. And despite eight years of Labour, NZ is in the bottom ten countries.
Imagine the howls of protest from the Greens if it had been a National Government?
Even worse, if one looks at energy emissions trend, we are basically at the bottom of the world - 2nd to bottom and 4th to bottom.
So when one hears the rhetoric of leading the world in carbon neutrality, remember the actual substance is the exact opposite."
