No. What is genuinely scary is the way in which some politicians, mostly right wing, are completely ignoring climate change because it might affect the profits of the wealthy.

I don't think there can be any doubt now; humans are surely officially the stupidest species ever to walk the earth.
From your link:
"Climate change is fuelling increasingly destructive extremes. This year, that included floods that killed thousands of people in Libya, severe heatwaves in South America, and Canada's worst wildfire season on record.
"We must not let the devastating floods, wildfires, storms, and heatwaves seen this year become the new normal," said Piers Forster, climate scientist at University of Leeds.
"By rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, we can halve the rate of warming," he added.
Despite countries setting increasingly ambitious targets to gradually cut emissions, so far that has not happened. Global CO2 emissions hit a record high in 2022."

Not exactly, they are left wing extremists.
Food prices will be unaffordable, our economy will suffer as a result of farming decline.
And to top it off their wealth tax will affect anyone who owns property
Oh, and the jews are pissed off with Chloe too.

It does look that way, unless we can work a miracle of some sort.

Winston and Seymour have a lot of good policies in common, particularly around the treaty and wokeness.
I'm confident that they will sort out much of the mess New Zealand is currently left in and luxon can use it as a convenient excuse.

You really need to ask that?

Just answer the question as it was asked.
Here's some helpful advice, being anti-woke is just a contemporary way of saying you're racist, bigoted and selfish.

He can't answer, because saying what he thinks "woke" is would have him branded as a racist. In this context, "woke" is anything that appears to support Maori people.

Luxon and co. will be setting up the economy to favor his already rich mates.

Except that his rich mates aren't the ones who call the shots when it comes to international trade deals and market access, both of which are at risk of being scuttled if a National led government goes ahead with its plans to overturn the offshore exploration ban and the Clean Car Discount, delay agricultural emissions pricing by up to five years, end subsidies to help the public and private sectors decarbonise, and drain the Climate Emergency Response Fund to pay for tax cuts. 
Making moves towards reversing climate change strategies won't be viewed favourably by the international community and our export led economy will likely take a hit accordingly.

I was out earlier & saw some graffiti on someone's fence: "National, the best govt money can buy."
And given that they had some rather large donations for this election, that rings rather truer than many of us would like.

From Twitter/X: "Word on the street is talks have broken down in Wellington. Winnie has flown back to Auckland in a huff. Sounds like ACT and NZF both pissed with Nats". Apparently the source is HDPA (+ Soper), so draw your own conclusions.

The GG tomorrow will reappoint the caretaker government, renewing the ministerial warrants.
