The Amazon; carbon credits, tipping point

[C_T_Russell]

Did you actually bother to read what I just said?
ACT want to allow the ETS to include carbon credits from international efforts including but not limited to replanting the amazon.
Replanting the amazon is going to be far more beneficial than planting NZ out in pine trees.
Their government has made meaningful change already and de-forestation has already been cut by 2 thirds since Brazils new president has taken power, it shows it can be done. The whole world needs to put their money where its mouth is and instead of making weapons actually start replanting trees and we will actually do humanity a favor.

ACT is interested in making money; in helping businesses make money. The environment (if it features at all) is way down their list.

 And if the fate of the Amazon was solely in their hands, then we might just as well give up now.

Their environmental policies are pretty sound.
Carbon credits for native trees in the Amazon is a win win.
Planting pines in NZ is not sustainable and even the greens admit they got it wrong.
I'm also super excited to hear that luxon wants to reopen the coal mines and export the stuff. Perhaps pike river can be reopened, they should send it up to Glenbrook.
