Key offers nothing new
on climate change
Climate change minister David Parker
says National's new leader is getting his ideas muddled, in
his attempt to talk up his environmental
credentials.
"John Key is offering nothing new."
"He
says he doesn't like the Kyoto Protocol, but he wants a
greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme with
Australia."
"I have already discussed the possibilities of
emissions trading with Australia when I met with the
Australian environment minister Ian Campbell at the recent
UN climate change conference in Nairobi.
"An emissions
trading scheme works by setting emissions reductions
targets, such as we have under the Kyoto Protocol, which
then sets a price for emissions," David Parker said.
"Can
we take it then, that John Key is now a Kyoto supporter?
"Last year John Key said he wasn't sure climate change
was a problem. Yesterday he said he'd always believed in
it."
"National has to come clean on where it stands on
climate
change."

For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
