Now the climate crisis is self-evident, a common argument by those who STILL defend polluters is that “NZ is too small to make a difference, and so shouldn’t have to stop intensive dairy farming or driving Ford rangers to school in Auckland”
Rod Carr destroys it in this mic-drop moment.
Exactly. The fact that there are only five million people within our national boundaries doesn’t mean we should just be able to pollute more.
If that’s the case, any group of 5 million people can say they’re only zero point whatever percent of emissions so they shouldn’t have to do anything.
All that achieves is everyone pointing at everyone else being the problem and nothing gets done. The planet burns and the oceans boil
