Labour is promising to reduce 1.9 percent of 20 percent of our emissions by 2035 and calls it climate action. Anyone else feeling gaslit? #climatechange #nzpol https://twitter.com/henrycooke/status/1313631625075331072

Transport is responsible for 20 percent of our emissions and is the fastest growing sector in that regard, but diesel buses (public AND private) are responsible for just 1.9 percent of that!

I made a chart to show how ineffectual this policy is.

To meet our (very unambitious) Paris target, Governments need to be doing policies like this now, not in 2035. Every year for the next 10 years, we need to implement four policies that have the impact of immediately electrifying all of the country's buses. Where is the ambition?

CORRECTION: The above figures were based on public and private buses. Labour has provided a figure for just public buses of 155,000 tonnes of emissions a year, so they're actually tackling just 1.1 percent of 20 percent of our emissions... In 2035.
