OPINION:
It is easy to dismiss critics of the Climate Change Commission's plan to reduce emissions as opposed to any action at all.
Too easy. There is a consensus for lower emissions which no New
Zealand institution opposes. Parliament put the matter to rest in 2019 by legislating our commitments to the Paris climate agreement and to net zero emissions by 2050.
