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.
Dear jaysus - the man's demented!
How the devil can anyone seriously even think of opening coal mines again, given the state of the planet. Money above all else apaprently.
And frankly, unless they want a war on their hands, I wouldn't advise anyone - especially a right wing PM - to go anywhere near Pike river mine. Surely even Luxon & co would have more intelligence & sensitivity than that.
