New Zealand's zero carbon bill is ‘all bark and no bite,’ Greenpeace says
ENVIRONMENTALISTS lambasted a Bill which passed through New Zealand’s parliament today aimed at lowering the country’s carbon emissions to zero as “all bark and no bite.”
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the Zero Carbon Amendment Bill “makes a start on tackling climate change because the alternative is the catastrophic cost of doing nothing.”
But Greenpeace New Zealand executive director Dr Russel Norman said the “reasonably ambitious piece of legislation” had had its teeth ripped out.
