No reason to demonise farming
OPINION: New Zealand has said it is going to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by ‘a lot’ and ‘in a short time’. One of those gases is methane. Our biggest producer of methane is livestock farming.
Even Fish & Game had the good grace to admit this consensus between the Government and industry was good.
And RNZ acknowledged that there is no technology to measure emissions at farm level, quoting Dr Harry Clark, “Only 2% of farmers know what their greenhouse gas emissions are but there is no single technology yet to measure them.”
Newshub risked bringing the whole of Grey Lynn and inner-city Wellington down on its head by publishing Peter Williams’ comment that anyone daring to question the legitimacy of the ‘climate emergency’ narrative risks being labeled as ‘in denial’ and much worse.
