Kiwi FM: Keith Ng on Nick Smith’s emissions
figures
Kiwi
FM:Keith reports that “On Q&A on Sunday,
Nick Smith claimed that Greenpeace’s campaign for a 40%
emissions reduction was unaffordable, and cited a report
showing that it would have “a cost of about $15 billion
per year at 2020″, or $60 per person per week.
This is
catastrophically bullshit. The report cited by Smith
wasn’t even about emissions reduction!”
