The Greens aren't at all focused on helping anyone cope with climate change, they're instead fixated on the complete delusion that we can slow down or prevent climate change. It might be a noble delusion, and come from a place of genuinely caring for future NZrs, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a delusion.
Green policies would completely hamstring our economy and result in far fewer resources available with which to help anyone (fleecing "the rich" until they leave or are no longer rich has never helped a country's economy in the long run). As such, it'd result in the destitution and death of many many people.
Although prioritising short-term economic growth too far above all other concerns is dangerous and harmful, it is also very dangerous and harmful to not acknowledge that a strong and healthy economy is absolutely vital to ensuring a strong and healthy population. Also, poor countries can't afford bother with environmental concerns, ironically, Green Party policies would actually harm NZ's ecology in the long term.
