yes indeed, thank heavens there is wriggle room and some sense in the small print, it all seems to be shadow boxing! But isn’t it sickening to have the hypocritical UN gravy-trainers lecturing us when they are the ones with a credibility problem.

The small print is all in here:

New Zealand is prepared to take on a responsibility target for greenhouse gas emissions reductions of between 10 per cent and 20 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, if there is a comprehensive global agreement. This means:

* the global agreement sets the world on a pathway to limit temperature rise to not more than 2°C;
* developed countries make comparable efforts to those of New Zealand;
* advanced and major emitting developing countries take action fully commensurate with their respective capabilities;
* there is an effective set of rules for land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF); and
* there is full recourse to a broad and efficient international carbon market.

” UN finds NZ credibility gap on emissions”
