OPINION: ACT MP Mark Cameron isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he certainly calls it how he sees it, holding nothing back when ‘climate scientists’ had a crack at Kiwi farmers recently:
“A cabal of academic bozos from countries who don’t know how to farm without subsidies have accused New Zealand of an ‘accounting trick’ because we’re not waging war on cow burps. Putting aside the fact methane is a short-lived gas, international climate scientists should be thanking Kiwi farmers because we feed the world more efficiently than anyone else. Declaring war on methane here at home would mean less dairy and meat produced in New Zealand, but it wouldn’t change global demand. Hungry households in China and the US would just turn to other less-efficient countries for their baby formula and ribeye.”
