Chasing rainbows

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The Hound awaits with baited breath Nicola Shadbolt's Methane Review Panel's findings this month on whether farmers will continue to be marched to the gallows by legislated methane reduction targets.

Rumour has it that the Panel have arrived at the only rational conclusion possible - there is literally nothing to see here, no further warming - no generic reductions needed.

But unfortunately the jungle drums will be beating to justify nearly $1 billion (most of it taxpayer money) that has already been wasted chasing methane rainbows (Agrizero, The 'Cool' Sheep Programme, The Greenhouse Gas Consortium, etc) so sadly, sector leaders won't want the 'no reductions needed' recommended that farmers deserve!
