New Conservative says NO to Zero Carbon Tax
New Conservative says NO to Zero Carbon Tax
We are
destroying our economy and making no difference to our
ecology through carbon trading. This is poor governance and
must stop. The beaches we visited forty years ago are the
same now as they were then, we are not drowning, our seas
are not encroaching and, even if they were, paying $25 PT
for carbon will not stop them.
“New Conservative would remove New Zealand from the Paris Agreement 2015, stop the wasteful ETS and concentrate on pollution reduction rather than carbon control,” says Leighton Baker, Party Leader.
"Carbon is an essential element for life and the climate hysteria over its alleged catastrophe causing characteristics is unwarranted, unnecessary and counterproductive."
New Conservative's plan for the
environment is practical, sensible, achievable and
sustainable:
No more subsidies for forestry. Plant them
if the figures stack up.
Invest in research and
development for solutions for pollution and export those
solutions to really impact the world.
Replace 1080 with
trapping and hunting with urgency to eliminate this poison
from our environment.
Work with other countries who have
developed efficient systems for irrigation, such as
Israel.
Recognise the value to the economy through
farming as well as the huge efforts the industry has made in
fencing off waterways and riparian planting.
Allow the
West Coast to build their Hydro electric scheme.
Improve
the standard of insulation and ventilation in New builds to
reduce future energy requirements.
Invest in waste to
energy plants rather than landfills.
Allow regions more
autonomy so that they can decide what is important to their
population.
"The net zero carbon bill will have net zero
benefits.. Dump it now and act practically for our
environment," says
Baker.
