Growing public support for action on peak oil
After three weeks on the road talking to New Zealanders Green Party Co-Leader Russel Norman has found that New Zealanders are several steps ahead of the Government when it comes to climate change and peak oil. While the Government is making giant steps backwards by backing out on a carbon pollution charge, and allowing dirty coal-fired power stations to go ahead, the vast majority of New Zealanders want some forward-thinking leadership and action, says Green Co-Leader Russel Norman. Whats coming through loud and clear is that people want the Government to take action to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and to futureproof our economy for the end of cheap oil.
