Now the climate crisis is self-evident, a common argument by those who STILL defend polluters is that “NZ is too small to make a difference, and so shouldn’t have to stop intensive dairy farming or driving Ford rangers to school in Auckland”

Rod Carr destroys it in this mic-drop moment.

What makes you think we can manufacture everything or even most things we need let alone more efficiently than china?

You realise that we don't have the natural resources to manufacture shit right? That all the raw materials and fuel will need to be imported.
