As today\u2019s UN report confirms, these actions are entirely at odds with a liveable climate &#8211; they are the actions of a climate extremist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cLuxon\u2019s awkward presence at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa today is not only tainted by the sinking of the Manawanaui, it is tainted by his climate extremism, which is not popular in the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEven his own government ministry said New Zealand doesn\u2019t need any new fossil gas,\u201d says Dr Norman.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) recently released its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbie.govt.nz\/assets\/electricity-demand-and-generation-scenarios-report-2024.pdf\">updated <\/a>report on Electricity Demand and Generation Scenarios looking out to 2050, which confirmed that there is no need for new fossil fuels to \u2018keep the lights on\u2019 in Aotearoa. Wind and solar are the cheapest sources of new electricity generation and sufficient for the transition.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFor 15 years, the UNEP has been sounding the alarm on the great chasm between political will for climate action and the worsening emissions trajectory fuelling rising temperatures. These reports form a shameful litany of failure by successive governments to tackle the climate crisis with the urgency it demands,\u201d says Dr Norman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNew Zealand\u2019s biggest polluter is the dairy industry\u2019s super-heating methane emissions, and yet no Government has been able to find the backbone to stand up to Fonterra and regulate against the drivers of their emissions: synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, imported palm kernel and too many cows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The Emissions Gap Report 2024 found that it remains technically possible to get on a 1.5\u00b0C pathway, with solar, wind and forests \u201cholding real promise for sweeping and fast emissions cuts\u201d, alongside energy demand reductions. However, a failure to increase ambition in countries\u2019 2035 climate action plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), would put the world at risk for a temperature increase of 2.6-3.1\u00b0C by the end of this century.<\/p>\n\n<p>The UNEP also called on countries to explain how their 2035 NDCs contribute to tripling renewable capacity deployment and doubling annual energy efficiency rates by 2030, agreed at COP28 last year, and to transitioning away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-65568  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse
