I don't think new Zealand should worry about our emissions. Us being world leaders in emission reduction doesn't change anything. We make up less than 0.1% of the emissions.

As long as the China and the USA continue their pollution we are doomed.

Emissions per captia is a dumb metric. Having 1 billion people doesn't allow you to pollute more than other countries.

We need to trade. If we want more access to $$$ markets, we should abdolutely lead. You way is the way of the price taker, not the price setter.
