Throughout New Zealand, lives a group of people which live within a Utopian bubble, spitting out ignorance and spreading propaganda for very harmful purposes. Some of the strange events Generation Zero have done are stripping naked on trains to promote an idea of alleged under funding of transport, running ridiculous flash mobs to promote messages about rising sea levels,(which have yet to drown anyone) and holding bake sales in car parks to raise money for student transport. Generation Zero proposes their ultimate goal is a Zero Carbon Aotearoa, a goal which is actually very possible...if bankrupting the country is their other goal. No good evidence to believe a word of what they say has been brought forth, with their ideas being nothing quite convoluted and for a good reason.
Where can one begin to comprehend the enormity of what such a group is trying to achieve? Nice to know the Wellington group have a sense of humour, hosting a bake sale to try raise funds for student transport. One member, who seems quite proud of his group's ingenious idea says "we've put together a bake sale to raise money for smart transport, which the government has been neglecting." He goes on to say "the government's not pulling their weight, so we're having to raise funds for them." Unwonted, considering many spending cuts were made across multiple sectors within the last budget. Mr. Slippery's and his deputy Princess Simon have had to shuffle State Asset along a conveyor belt to raise capital. A Labour and Green Party coalition would have increased taxes on everything and likely still have been stupid enough to waste it on useless ideas. For students to talk about money being so openly available to be used is rather astonishing. Why don't they all go work and send all that income earned to the Inland Revenue Department? Last time, paying more taxes than necessary was more than welcome.
Things only began to get a really worrisome when Louis Chambers, the founder of Generation Zero appeared, looking gaunt and miserable saying "Climate Change is one of the most urgent threats to our future." No surprise hearing someone say that on television today. Many intelligent people have been drawn into the climate change cult. It remains quite interesting that despite the continual warning Louis gives about climate change, he happily jumped into an airplane and flew thousands of kilometres to Copenhagen, listening to the world's greatest liars fail to agree on one binding lie to tell the masses. Louis says this compelled him to make a change and found Generation Zero, a green movement which has found trivial, as well as humorous ways to spread their message. One such event was a flash mob where they warned against alleged rising sea levels. Nothing can top their efforts to expose transport funding problems by stripping down naked on train lines.
Many of the group members seem motivated for a cause but fighting for a Utopian ideology brings out disjointed ignorance, overflowing lies, mutual discontent for the other side. Generation Zero are much like the Green Party. For starters, they have yet to give an answer as to where all the money is going to come from to fund such high cost ventures? If money comes from their own pockets through higher taxes,, you'll hear Generation Zero complain and moan about not having enough income left over from their jobs. They're spreading lies and wishful thinking by pretending C02 emissions will make New Zealand a very toxic country to live in. According to recent study, New Zealand has a life expectancy rate which is among the highest worldwide; clean air and a good environment are two big contributors to that. Much of New Zealand's emissions come from Dairy and Agriculture too, a massive source of Gross Domestic Product for New Zealand. Farmers shamefully pollute many rivers and lakes (often getting away with it). Local towns and boards should be harsher on farmers, rather than give these radicals a voice to impose mass regulation and taxation, which everyone is better off without. If they want to reduce New Zealand's carbon output to zero, the best way is to reduce Dairy and Agriculture, something which is neither realistic or maintainable. Something which stands forth more than anything else is the obsessive and insistent emphasis of a high spending state. Generation Zero are like many people within generation Y, smugly assuming the world owes them something. To the contrary, a more workable solution would be for every member of Generation Zero who are currently have a job be subjected to a special 75 cents to the dollar tax. This tax shall be used on the harebrained ideas they want to see implemented; climate research which will supposedly save New Zealand from environmental doom, public transport good enough to their meticulous standards. An increase to 85 cents per dollar earned ought to be administered to the higher earners. If high spending proposals is what Generation Zero members desire, the best thing which can be done for everyone is to have them pay for it out of their own pocket.
Generation Zero seem like quite an interesting group. Too bad the group is full of Utopian ideas.

This post is judgmental and arrogant. The bake sale Generation Zero Wellington (which I am not affiliated with) held was a piss-take on the lack of Government spending on smart transport. And the fact that their stunts have actually been gaining new coverage shows the success of their aims which are to raise awareness and instigate action. To deny that climate change is an issue is to reject the majority of reputable scientists researched opinions and choose to remain ignorant - feel free to express these misguided and ill-informed opinions on your blog, but while you do so, don't insult a group who are passionate and actually acting on something that is a pressing issue for our generation just because they don't fit in to your own conservative right-wing ideology.
To the anonymous person who just commented, can you get rid of this stupid word judgmental, a word many people these days use to dismiss opinions they don't agree with.
As for the rest of your diatribe, there remains dissent among scientists on the validity of climate change being man made. The late Augie Auer said that roughly fifty per cent stand with these alleged "reputable scientists," fifteen percent are unsure and 35 percent are skeptical about it. So if you are to continually banter and dismiss my claims as ignorant, provide me with the official poll of every single scientific expert within the field and their view. If I were to take Augie's word against yours on this matter, there's no discussion as to who I'd pick. Before you start asserting that I'm ignorant about the matter then read my post "A Theory Full of Doom, only ever from one side," before you just start taking wild stabs in the dark towards my supposed ignorance on the matter.
Giving a critique of a group whose motives I find questionable is not insulting them. Had I done any such thing your phony outrage would hold some weight, but as I haven't it doesn't.
I think a bigger issue would be the trash which has been dumped all over the world...what should we do about this?
Anonymous..... Ur a schmuck please stop saying stupid things and being a docile idiot
The biggest threat I see the world facing is Greed. It poses a far greater threat to mankind than the alleged man made climate change. Giving answers on that is not my strong point but I believe a lot of trash can be converted through introducing waste to energy plants, something which can reduce all the mess in landfills. As for the post from Barrackus Clayton, how about engaging in discussion, rather than name calling.
dude, your pretty out of line here, who are you to judge these people for what they want to do to help a country they love, just because they're not the same as you. you've got no right to slander them like that. love your neighbour and treat others as you wish to be treated. remember?
Once again, the comment from anonymous completely misses the point and is more an outcry of hurt feelings than actually addressing the points which I made. I would like the quotes of the slander which you speak of. It's a big accusation and one to be taken seriously. As for the overused love your neighbour' talk people seem to lecture far too often, let me say this. Do you prefer an honest neighbour or a lying neighbour? I'm being honest and forthright with where I stand. I'm uncomfortable with the ideas Generation Zero spreads and thanks to freedom of speech, am allowed to express these views.
you live in a world of many different people, religions, habits, traditions, veiwpoints, thought patterns, the list goes on. learn to accept them, we are all the same, none of us are better then the other.
The anonymous poster above talks about diversity and how I must "learn to accept them." It almost seems as if they're suggesting it be compulsory to just accept it. These differences may exist but that doesn't mean each one should be accepted. If a family member for example smokes incessantly, should we just accept it? Or should we be honest and express our disapproval? The same goes for Generation Zero. They have as much of a right to express their views as I do. What they must know is there are very rational reasons to question the plausibility of the message they're promoting.
yeah you can dissagree. but ultimatly you have to accept it. its that unnacepting attitude thats got the world in such a mess. its why religions a mess. its why theres hardly any love left.
The anonymous poster continually banters on saying "ultimately you have to accept it." No I don't actually. I disapprove of many things and am willing to give reasons why I disapprove of them and the purpose of starting this blog is to show people how certain points of view (many of which aren't popular) can hold a rational position. The anonymous poster then says "religions a mess." What does that have to do with the discussion about Generation Zero? Absolutely nothing. In fact, climate change has become a religion of its own. One with a "unaccepting attitude." Just ask famous climatologist William Gray.
Ok, one day im sure you'l leave the safe confines of your home and actually go see the world and the state that its in, maybe remind yourself whats going on outside, and get an attitude check.
The anonymous poster writes "one day im sure you'l leave the safe confines of your home and actually go see the world and the state that its in." Probably unbeknownst to them, I have lived and travelled in many different countries and seen the world, so speaking in such absolutes on matters you know very little holds no resonance. The suggestion from the anonymous commentator that I "get an attitude check" seems like a rather feeble way of saying "I can't actually debate the points you've made and instead will revert to useless suggestions."
May I add too that comments are closed on this post. Once a new post is released, comments in previous posts are closed.
