methane science accord - the science is now clear

[C_T_Russell]

Even the corrupt IPCC is now saying that methane emissions are not as significant.
Say no to emissions pricing on livestock.

Why? Because methane is a shorter lived gas. No a safe one, just a shorter lived.

More eye rolling.

Huh - groundswell...people whose muddy gumboots have more brains than they do...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I know I shouldn't, but I am just so undisciplined.

At least methane stops some UV, blonde or red haired people can take a little comfort from that on sunny days, dunno what it does for solar farms though.

Shorter lived and carbon neutral from the grass.
Guess what else makes methane?
Forests
Compost heaps
Rubbish dumps
Wilderbeasts in Africa
List goes on.

They are the people who put food on your table and keep this economy running.
Show them some respect.

The industrial scale farmers that make up Groundswill are typically overusing synthetic fertiliser and discharging effluent and gaseous emissions into our environment in their efforts to put food on 40 million people's tables worldwide. If they were conducting their farming in a sustainable way they would be worthy of respect but they're not.

There is nothing sustainable about maximising dairy outputs which are then dried using carbon heavy energy supplies with the minimally improved value end products shipped across the world to have added value processing carried out in other countries. That is the definition of a price taking low tech industry and our dairy producers must improve that situation before precision fermentation kills their livelihood. Working smarter rather than harder is the solution. In not doing so they have the intellect that Praktica is implying.

Speak for yourself. Lots of us grow our own, and most of our food comes from overseas, so pull your head in!

This encapsulates my thoughts pretty well. Working smarter rather than flogging the same old horse.

Why doesn't the government target the fertilizer industry instead then?
I agree there is far too much dairy and lots of land that is better suited to sheep in Canterbury is being converted to dairy with huge irrigation systems.
We don't need that, ironically this government wants to price emissions on sheep. It's so laughable. Thr irony here is that products such as wool are facing a bit of a comeback and are being pushed as a carbon friendly alternative to synthetic fibres.
We should be supporting and encouraging sheep farming, not making it something that's undesirable.
Lamb meat is also way tastier than beef!
