New Zealand has been labelled a hypocrite, yet again, for its lack of
action on climate change.

At the 22nd annual UN Climate Change Conference in Marrakech (COP22),
the Climate Action Network awarded New Zealand two Fossil of the Day
awards for blocking action on climate change.

The first is for "talking a big game on fossil fuel subsidies at COP22
but failing to live up to its own (good) advice on the home front".

"Today Mark Sinclair, New Zealand's climate change ambassador, spoke
up on the need to cut fossil fuel subsidies - hooray!" the
international organisation wrote on its website.

"However, New Zealand supports the oil and gas industry at home by
providing tax breaks and funding scientific research to incentivise
industry to commit to exploring in New Zealand waters - boo!"

Green Party energy spokesman Gareth Hughes echoed the Climate Action
Network, saying the Government talks the talk without walking the
walk.

"One of the awards was highlighting the hypocrisy that we're talking a
big game on the world stage about ending oil subsidies, but we've
still got oil subsidies and tax breaks for oil drillers in New
Zealand."

New Zealand's second Fossil of the Day was awarded over its continued
use of "dodgy" carbon credits.

"This will allow New Zealand to use surplus credits to meet its
totally limp 2020 emissions reductions target of 5 percent below 1990,
without taking any real action to reduce its emissions," said Climate
Action Network.

"What, New Zealand? Are you trying to be Australia now?"

Most of New Zealand's carbon credits were bought from ex-Soviet
countries, which research funded by economist Gareth Morgan found to
be at best, worthless, and at worst, falsified.

Govt takes advice on dodgy carbon credits
Mr Hughes says New Zealanders want to be leaders on climate change.

"We've got a great opportunity to grow jobs in areas like green
technology and clean energy. We've got amazing, smart farming
solutions, lots of land we could be reforesting. The solutions are
there - it's just a lack of political will."

"Climate Action Network"? Sounds like a pack of smelly hippy hypocrites. You know the type, they turn up to an anti-oil protest in their oil made kayaks and
their oil-made inflatable boats driven by oil burning engines.
