Scientists accuse New Zealand and Ireland of trying to cover up livestock emissions

Leading climate scientists have accused politicians in New Zealand and Ireland of using an “accounting trick” to back their sheep and cattle industries, warning their support for methane-emitting livestock could undermine global efforts to fight climate change. In an open letter shared with the Financial Times, 26 climate scientists from around the world warned that New Zealand’s proposed new methane targets risk setting a dangerous precedent. 

That’s right!

The Corporate Dairy industry has spent millions donating to National and putting dark money into Right Wing astroturf organisations to shut down any meaningful climate emissions targets that the rest of the world has noticed the policy corruption and are now calling us out.

We are being attacked internationally for being a climate criminal all because National refuse to stand up to their Corporate Dairy interests.

The Carbon Capture ‘technology’ that National have banked all our emission offsets on doesn’t work…

Carbon capture: Pivotal project for cutting greenhouse gas emissions looks shaky

A critical part of the government’s plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions over the next five years appears to have fallen over.

…and in the last budget National cut 50% to climate finance, barely any cuts to emissions, all while slashing foreign aid for our Pacific brothers and sisters by cutting climate aid by $100m.

This Government is a Climate Denial Government who are refusing to do anything about the coming adaptation because they are paid by the polluters.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

  1. Luxon is Trump without the comb over. Why doesn’t he just start talking about fake news and voting machines now. He’s sold out to donors and doesn’t even pretend anymore.

    • He wont talk about fake shit because he has given that job to Seymour who ahs started by saying most submissions against his latest shit faced bill are submitted by AI BOTS .The same could be said for the few in favor.

  2. Yes we may produce only 1% of green house gas but so do 30 other countries .So by that reckoning those 30 countries produce more than the so called enemy of the world ,China who is making massive strides in renewables and other pollution cuts .

    • Embarrassment and trying to hide from the photographer except the guy with the cell phone. A true believer that one, or waiting to get a piccy of luxon feeding his face again. Is he important, Tess?
      No-one there really wants to be in the same shot as the clown in chief. They are clearly cringing.

      If they spent as much on mitigation of climate change as they do on trying to pretend it’s not happening and trying to convince us of that, we might get somewhere.
      Of course, our govt. is fiddling the books to cover their crimes, that’s what crims do. We aren’t surprised.

    • Most of the food grown is fed to animals worldwide so shifting to a plant based diet would reduce the amount of fossil fuels used and decrease the health cost so what you call a problem is actually a huge benefit to our sustainability, maybe you should account for where most of the methane here comes from as well.

  6. Luxie has missed alot. The PM who globe trots, a no show who goes to work to arrange his pens. The only interest he has is himself and farming for likes on social media. Now even that has a dark side. His media aide’s interests has seen the ‘ oh I’m so unaware ‘ Lux pose in underwear, poke sexual faces, have his family in PJs…
    He’ll be in the sequel to ” The Hollow Men”, he and his cohorts will star in , ” The Shallow Cons.”
