The second problem is the total disconnect from the rest of the world. This report issued today says that we should not in New Zealand be able to use foreign carbon credits. Really? So what it is saying is that the Government would like New Zealanders to pay people in Hawke's Bay to sell up their sheep and beef farms and plant a monoculture of more pine trees that turn into wilding pines and a future ecological disaster. Instead of being able to pay Brazilians to reseed the Amazon, or at least pay them to stop burning it down, was that really the right answer for someone who wants to think global and act local? It is completely wrong that our competitors around the world will be able to do that and buy cheaper carbon credits, exposing New Zealand business.
