Air New Zealand has abandoned a 2030 goal to cut its carbon emissions, blaming difficulties securing more efficient planes and sustainable jet fuel.

Reality wins over ideology, for now. Still not confronting Climate Change dogma, Air NZ sites business shortages to kick the "net zero" can down the road 20 years, to 2050.

And hopefully this madness dies down.

If this resistance to “climate change” spreads to more of New Zealand, REALLY big news. New Zealand has been among the most staunch fascists about the dogma concerning “climate change” and “green energy” in the world, and Australia is right behind them.

And just because English is their national language of commerce and government, does not mean they share all of the ideals and beliefs that have driven the United States for so long. Canada is a foreign country, too.

“blaming difficulties securing more efficient planes and sustainable jet fuel.”

I guess unicorn farts are a rare commodity.

Should be ok then to dump a little diesel on my two 55 gal drums of trash today. Offset by Air NZ announcement that keeps my guilt level down for the next 50 years. Woohoo!
