Federated Farmers are busy right now, stirring up discontent throughout the regions over the soon-to-land Emissions Trading Scheme. The countryside is abuzz with deep concern, thanks to the goading by the Feds and aided by a shrill chorus from the Act Party that has one of their more shortsighted MPs on the rural trail attacking the scheme as well.
They are right though. The Governments ETS is a mess and will cost us money that will not fix the problem it describes.
We ordinary taxpayers will be paying to allow the real polluters of the atmosphere, industries that have been given dispensation by the National Government.
Unfortunately, both the Feds and Act lack credibility on the issue, due to their ostritch-like denial of Global Warming.
The've recognised the futility of New Zealand's ETS, but have blinded themselves to the real and looming problem we all face.
