Luxon has made an unconscionable decision with no thought for the implications on our kids\u2019 and grandkids\u2019 futures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFrom choosing to reverse the oil and gas ban, to offering up $200 million in taxpayer-funded subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, it\u2019s clear that Luxon can\u2019t be trusted to make decisions on climate change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAbandoning the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance is like withdrawing your investments in smartphones to back fax machines instead. These are not serious people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Larsson says that there is a growing risk that the Government\u2019s reversal of climate change policies will result in backlash from New Zealand\u2019s trading partners, citing advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade that said that repealing the ban on offshore oil and gas was likely to breach New Zealand\u2019s free trade deals with the UK and European Union.<\/p>\n\n<p>Additionally, Member of the European Parliament Saskia Bricmont has asked questions of the European Trade Commissioner about the impacts of New Zealand\u2019s regressive climate policies on the EU-NZ Free Trade Agreement &#8211; specifically, the move to revise New Zealand\u2019s methane emissions target in line with the controversial concept of \u2018no additional warming\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Luxon Government is bending over backwards for two of the most polluting industries in the world &#8211; the intensive livestock industry, and the fossil fuel industry,\u201d says Larsson.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThey are turning New Zealand into a laughing stock on the global stage as they continue to let polluters write policies that harm regular people.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAlready, international climate scientists have called out the Prime Minister for ignoring scientific evidence by exploring dodgy accounting tricks for measuring methane emissions from livestock. It is the first time in Luxon\u2019s political or business career that he has made the front page of the Financial Times &#8211; and it was humiliating. He should expect more international criticism to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-61546  sticky-bottom-mobile collapse
