"Our moral imperative around adaptation should include our responsibility to our poor in New Zealand, and our vulnerable South Pacific nations.
With the world burning and flooding at the same time, with our oceans heating up and our biodiversity collapsing, our grandchildren deserve practical political leadership focused on practical solutions.
What they don’t deserve is the pothole politics of chucking kids into prison, racial dog whistling and the perpetration of a system where the wealthy minority pay less tax than the poor."
If only that lot in the Beehive - & all the other politicians in the world - would get off their overfed backsides & do what has to be done, then we might have a small chance for the generations to come to live reasonable lives.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
