New Zealand Greenhouse Emissions Increased 22% Since Signing Kyoto

The Guardian's greenwashing columnist has exposed New Zealand's clean green image.

 

Quote:

"New Zealand secured a generous Kyoto target, which simply required it not to increase its emissions between 1990 and 2010. But the latest UN statistics show its emissions of greenhouse gases up by 22%, or a whopping 39% if you look at emissions from fuel burning alone."
