New Zealand abandons Jacinda Ardern’s net zero push

Country plans to expand offshore gas fields following ‘disaster’ ban on oil drilling

New Zealand has abandoned its pursuit of net zero by revoking a ban on drilling for oil and gas.

The country’s government confirmed the shift in its latest budget this week, which unveiled plans to invest NZ$200m (£90m) in new offshore gas fields.

The reversal marks an end to a policy announced by Jacinda Ardern, the former prime minister, in 2018. She claimed at the time that “the world has moved on from fossil fuels”.

Her attempted ban has since been replicated in Britain by Ed Miliband, the Climate Secretary, who halted all new North Sea drilling after Labour triumphed in last year’s election.

I just find this globalistically adorable. New Zealand was a pretty bad player in 2020+ Sweet
