From BFD thebfd.co.nz/2022/11/19/cop-out-27-and-the-climate-scam/The scam is so obvious that even an ignorant loon like Greta Thunberg can see it. Sadly, your average legacy media is even more nutty and ignorant than a retarded Swedish teenager.
The Daily Telegraph in London the same day reported: “China has emitted more carbon dioxide over the past eight years than the UK has since the start of the industrial revolution. Between 1750 and 2020 the UK emitted 78 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide … compared with China’s emissions of 80 billion tonnes since 2013.”We don't hear much at Gretta these days, why? |

Not really climate change bullshit but a reminder to seperate “pollution” from “climate change “ . It’s easy to write off everything as greenwash these days , but fuck this harbour is my local . www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/448601/banned-firefighting-foam-used-at-marsden-point-for-trainingwww.rnz.co.nz/news/national/479356/firm-fined-after-forever-chemicals-discharged-into-whangarei-harbour Quote below from Ingrid Visser taken from NZ Boating Magazine . “But we’ve got to stop using the ocean as a great toilet and get rid of the belief that you can dump everything into it and it just disappears. Some New Zealand towns still flush raw sewage straight into the sea.  “New Zealand orca carry the highest concentrations of chemical pollutants among marine mammals in the Southern Hemisphere. DDT, PCBs, flame retardants, agricultural chemicals – you name it – and as orca are at the top of the food chain, they get it all.” One probable reason, she says, is that their preferred diet is rays, particularly the liver. “Rays are shallow water feeders. Their diet is filter feeders like pipis and cockles which are prone to ingesting pollution. That, in turn, becomes concentrated in the rays’ liver.” |

I can assure you that a fine of $169k is chicken feed compared to what it would have cost to deal with this properly. The refinery has saved a load of coin by using it and getting fined. As far as I know, they can't even get rid of the stored stuff. No one will take it, no one to sell it to, and no way of recycling it or breaking it down. You basically have to treat it like nuclear waste. Professional fees for a consultant to even look at this would eclipse that fine with a simple appraisal and options assessment, let alone any detailed studies of what to actually do with it... |

Rest assured that I’m assured that the fine is chicken shit as well as chicken feed .
God knows what the long term consequences will be for the stuff that lives in the water in the immediate vicinity or for the folk that eat it .

www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/09/study-finds-microplastics-in-75-percent-of-commercially-caught-fish.html#:~:text=An%20Otago%20University%20study%20has,human%20consumption%2C%20had%20ingested%20microplastics. "Your clothing can release fibres every time they're washed so those things go straight from the wastewater into the ocean," Clere said. Study co-author Dr Bridie Allan said the fish were caught over one year which shows it's an ongoing issue. "Plastic pollution is a persistent feature in the marine environment, it's not just a snapshot in time," Allan said. An average of two and a half individual particles per fish were found, nearly all of them smaller than 5 mm. Never mind CLIMATE change bullshit.We have to stop treating the oceans as a dumping ground.I know I keep repeating it but even emptying that hold tank is polutting waterways with various chemicals that get droped in to help break it down.We need strategically placed waste stations around the gulf. Bring back the refuse bins at kawau etc.What do you do with 1 weeks worth of rubbish??

Toyota are rationing Hilux's cause they are too high a polluter... NZ Police told to wait and not buy 50 utes they need now. Specifically, Toyota NZ did not respond to an RfP (request for price, i.e. a tender) to supply Police with 50 new Hilux's. Interesting comment in their that Toyota are giving preference to their loyal customers, implying that is not the police... Hmmm, this might trigger some of you guys. Police confirm they had approached Toyota, and other car companies, asking whether they could supply 50 new utes for operational purposes, replacing ageing Hilux and Holden Colorado vehicles. Toyota NZ drove the Hilux to the top of the sales charts with adverts featuring Barry Crump, and the "bugger" dog, but it's now grappling with the need to reduce sales of its highest-emitting petrol and diesel vehicles. "I'll go on the record here and say that we will deliver fewer Hiluxes until a more sustainable alternative is available," chief executive Neeraj Lala said. "We will deliver to customers or firms that really need a Hilux for a specific purpose. We have already been successful in converting large fleet owners to move their people from diesel utes to hybrid SUVs." He told Newsroom: "We chose not to respond to the RFP [from NZ Police] given the current supply constraints and needing to focus on existing loyal customers." But Police said electric vehicles were not yet viable for their more intensive or off-road needs. The demands of police work - search and rescue operations in weather extremes, for example - placed on their utility vehicles were too much for any hybrid or EV ute yet on the market. Inspector Brian Yanko, in charge of fleet management, said police operational vehicles carried more heavy gear than a standard vehicle could handle. www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-inside/479410/police-struggle-to-buy-new-utes-as-green-mandate-meets-supply-crisis |

Whoever does the purchasing for the cops will be expecting a bulk discount. Our project had probably the largest fleet of Hiluxes in the country, topping out close to 200 at peak, the lease companies have always been pressuring us to get the vehicles back ASAP at end of lease as they have buyers lined up to pay top $$.(I would not want alot of our cast offs knowing how they have been driven  ) |

Police can use taxis or uber,bus bike or walk. As the Govt.has no real interest in crime not buying vehicles will leave more $$$ for PM/ Ministerial travel.
