The Amazon; carbon credits, tipping point

[C_T_Russell]

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.

The planet will be fine, the climate has always changed, all this coal came from trees to begin with.
We still export coal anyway and this govt doesnt care.
the best thing we can do is use our high quality coal, build more coal power stations and use it in our steel mill.
$200 million taxpayer dollars going to the steel mill just to make it run on electricity which will place more demand on the Huntly power station is hypocritical anyway.
