This is going to be devastating, its such a crock of shit its not funny.
Like our small percentage of "emissions" is causing "extreme" weather events.
Jacinda openly says here that carbon neutral products will demand a higher price.
All ways to bribe farmers that this will be beneficial to them.

Who pays? YOU!

Expect more valuable farmland converted to shitty invasive pines.
Expect higher grocery prices.

What they dont tell you is that growing veges is just as "damaging" with fertilizier applied to the soil and all the constant years of turning over the soil, in fact its probably even worse.

They are even going after sheep farmers, its such BS its so hard to believe they are even wanting to do this.

Fact - agribusiness is responsible for half our emissions.

Fact - agribusiness currently pays a lot less for its climate damaging outcomes than other areas of business in this country.

Fact - we have committed to reduction targets with international agreements and treaties.

Fact - if we do not start taking climate change seriously we are risking our grandchildren's future. 

Fact - this is a watered down version of what is really necessary.

The fact is that our "emissions" are a drop in the bucket on a global scale and they will make no measureable impact at all when the rest of the world continues to burn coal and drive petrol cars.

Animals are part of nature and Africa has millions of wilderbeasts that are farting methane too but we wont be doing anything about that will we?
Farmers are an easy target by the govt and is purely for political gains to attract these uneducated voters who think its meaningful.
I would hate to think what these green ultra left wing nutjobs would do if they had free reign on this country, its scary!

Fact - growing veges is more damaging to soil than farming beef. Soil gets dug up and all the grass removed, then you still apply all the nitrates with synthetic fertilizer. Any organic grower will tell you to cover the soil.

We should be forcing vege growers to use regenerative methods too and require them to apply mulch.
All this BS about veges being better for the environment is crap.

The fact is this govt doesnt give a shit about the environment or else if they did, they would be banning palm oil and products containing palm oil, unless its from a sustainable operation that is verified to not be contributing to de-forestation.
We should be banning all these cheap crappy chinese imports that you get at K-Mart at the same time and be producing our own goods like in the old days where we didnt need to pay for shipping (in turn burning carbon) all this junk from china that just fills up our chinese owned landfills.
Dont get me started.
