Climate Change: A death cult regime

The UN reported today that the world will fail to prevent dangerous levels of climate change, and is instead on track for a catastrophic 2.5 degrees of warming by the end of the century. Which means fires, floods, famines, and whole parts of the globe becoming uninhabitable. meanwhile, the national regime is gutting our climate change laws, weakening targets, severing the connection between the ETS and our international target, cutting the independent Climate Commission out of the policy process, and pushing back the target for a carbon neutral public service by 25 years. They're also removing consultation requirements, to prevent the public from demanding that they act. And of course all of this is going to be rammed through under urgency.

The message is clear: National does not think climate change is a problem, and certainly not one worth doing anything about. And they're doing this just a fortnight after (another) giant weather disaster which caused enormous disruption and millions of dollars of damage. They're naked climate deniers, determined to kill us all.

This death cult regime has to go. And when we've kicked them out, the next government is going to have to mash the "revert" button and undo all this bullshit, and then move on to real climate change policy: fully-priced agricultural emissions, no pollution subsidies, a phase-out of fossil fuels and other dirty technology, and prosecution of climate criminals and ecocidaires. We have the technology to live cleanly; it just means huge economic losses for the status quo. But they should not be allowed to put their wealth and greed above our lives. Make them pay they way, and give them a choice: clean up, or go out of business!
