What ACT appears to be doing is a rather 'full speed ahead & damn the torpedos' approach, more or less ignoring the problem to a large extent.
Far more could be done but they choose to ignore that, perhaps because its likely to be hard or perhaps becaise it might intrude on our present lifestyle, or perhaps because they simply don't care about those who will come after us & have to cope with the consequences of their lack of action - to be fair though, it certainly isn't just the ACT party who prefers the head in the sand stance, its virtually all of them (apart from the Greens) who do not seem to wnat to do anything much which might help future Kiwis cope with climate change.
It might be hard, might be unpopular, might lose them votes.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
