New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's government is to declare a climate emergency in a symbolic step to increase pressure for action to combat global warming.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's government is to declare a climate emergency in a symbolic step to increase pressure for action to combat global warming.

"We've always considered climate change to be a huge threat to our region, and it is something we must take immediate action on," Ms Ardern said, according to state broadcaster TVNZ. The resounding win allows Ms Ardern's party to govern alone although she has joined forces with the Green Party for the next three-year term.

Global warming? No, global COOLING 🥶

Totally pointless. China is a country of 1.2 Billion, they won't do anything. NZ is a country of 5 million people led by a horse.

Who is she 'increasing pressure' on by this? I already see China folding down 😄

It’s great but according to its own official projections, current NZ Govt policy means we will increase net emissions by 16% 2017-2030 and only cut gross emissions by 7% over that period. Unless substantial policy change comes soon, the declaration is just empty words.

Climate change may now finally gain some global traction

How many new COVID-19 cases or she imprisoned all? She sounds like Greta. If kills all sheep which are bad for the environment as she killed tourism with her commie style pandemic measures she will kill NZ. I wonder if the climate models are as accurate as the covid models?

But how will this pressure China?

Snore.

Should Jacinda Ardern NZ PM, challenge Craig Kelly MP to a Climate Debate?

Can you demonstrate the climate emergencies that NZ is experiencing - if not I will have to report this tweet as fake news

Oh she’s a dream leader ! We in Aust have a nightmare leader & horror show gov !

One would think that the economy would be the first emergency, she needed to attend too.

Get ready for big social changes. 1 of NZ biggest emissions issues is private transport. 1.1 people commuting to work per vehicle isn't sustainable. Get ready for road tolls & reduction in parking facilities in urban centre's. Public transport will go electric. Plus 1BT.

If you cared about us at all you would do a DNA search and find out you are really Australian and come hone JA.

RobRobbEdwards 👏👏👏👏👏

Once again the NZ PM has shown herself to be ahead of the pack

Great! Not so little NZ leading the South Pacific in fighting climate change. Getting our big stodgey nation to follow suit will be the challenge. Still, Australia did follow NZ in reacting to the pandemic. There's a little teensy weensy bit of hope there

Ocean and ClimateAction must be undertaken together. Humans, the ocean, biodiversity, and climate are inextricably linked MoreMPAs

'Climate emergency' means borrowing more money from the money lenders for superfluous 'green energy' solutions. This is the finest example of corrupt capitalism. Man-made climate change is an elaborate money changing trick.

With other people's money of course - like every self-respecting socialist.

Now do an audit on her rigged election. After the fraud conducted and exposed in the US all extreme leftist governments are now illegitimate.

Take note AlboMP This is Labour leadership. You're done.

What token Muppets they are

Jacinta - I want to emigrate to NZ. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦘🦘

SBS = Guardian = 🐄💩

NZ PM Ardern has exuded cattle & livestock agriculture in her Climate Plans even though its a major CO2 emitter. She really must shut down NZ cattle, diary and sheep farms to make that claim or otherwise she's just bullshiting. NZHellhole NZDUSD ClimateAction NZMS2020

I doubt it will stop the next earthquake

Leftist politicians and miserable ghost that when in power couldn't even control the economy want to convince us that they will control the Climate if we pay 15% more tax 🤣 ClimateFraud
