Opening up all of New Zealand\u2019s ocean and land to oil and gas exploration is reckless &#8211; it flies in the face of what the science says is needed to avoid climate catastrophe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The climate science is clear. We cannot afford to burn known fossil fuel reserves, let alone search for more. This latest move by Shane Jones is climate denial in action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cLuxon\u2019s Government cannot continue to claim that they take climate change remotely seriously while opening up the entire ocean in New Zealand to fossil fuel extraction,\u201d says Toop.In his speech, Minister Jones <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beehive.govt.nz\/speech\/speech-apac-energy-capital-assembly-singapore\">stated<\/a>: \u201c&#8230; we are giving the oil and gas exploration market a new Open Market Application process, meaning all acreage is open for application, and you\u2019re not restricted to block offers.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-61546  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse
