Friends and family have been evacuated from destroyed and damaged homes, and we are devastated at the tragic loss of two of our heroic local volunteer firefighters,\u201d says Rose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>There is no doubt that climate change has played a pivotal role in worsening these extreme weather events. NIWA estimates that 10-20 per cent more rain fell during the Auckland floods because of the heated atmosphere from human-induced climate pollution.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis experience has firmed my resolve to demand Government action to prevent total climate collapse, and I am not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cJust accepting that climate change causes extreme weather isn\u2019t enough in 2023, politicians need to have concrete plans to reduce New Zealand\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAdaption is necessary and important,\u201d says Rose. \u201cWe do need to rebuild infrastructure in a way that makes it more resilient &#8211; but the more pressing need is to stop climate change by stopping climate pollution.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHere in Aotearoa, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/environment\/climate-news\/130991637\/new-zealands-biggest-climate-polluters-ranked\" target=\"_blank\">biggest climate polluter<\/a><sup> <\/sup>by far is the intensive dairy industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe need the Government to step up and protect us from Big Dairy, which, just like the oil industry, drives the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The first opportunity to address industrial emissions in the wake of these disasters is when the Government makes a decision on the ineffectual agricultural emissions pricing scheme \u2018He Waka Eke Noa\u2019 in coming weeks. It must tear up He Waka Eke Noa and throw it in the bin, and put agriculture fully into the Emissions Trading Scheme, with other emitters,&#8221; says Rose.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout
