What would it take to meet the NDC domestically? Emissions would need to fall 12% every year to 2030 – more than twice the one-off Covid-19 dip, about equal to the one-off GFC decline. So... five GFCs' worth of emissions cutting.

By 2030, NZ would need net zero CO2 and ~30% decline in methane.

It’s not just about trade agreements!

84Mt of CO2 is around NZ$38billion of extra damages to the global climate (disasters, lost productivity, failed crops, ...) [w/ US EPA social cost of carbon].
not performative it's deadly serious. Our emissions are a small global share, but they still have a very real impact.

Hey we could still make it! Only gotta save an extra .... 84 million tonnes of carbon by 2030 lol

That was the second paragraph?

The longest part was waiting since July for the documents to come back 😅

Excellent reporting friend

I don't know what kind of further inquiry we will have here but you just reminded me that the Bazely one had a ten year monitoring regime! Will we ever see the likes again etc

But also did it do anything? People say yes but www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/revealed-...

SO MUCH RESEARCH
