Two research papers find methane has a very limited ability to absorb radiant energy. Methane has such a low atmospheric concentration around 0.00018% and combined with it having such a narrow waveband in which it can absorb radiant energy, … Read More...
No cow, sheep, pig, or goat has ever managed to create carbon from nothing.
They produce products by using carbon taken out of the air which is then stored away in the bones of growing children, in carpets and furniture and clothing. This means greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere can not increase due to the presence of ruminants; they can only decrease if anything. The agricultural emissions that they claim make up 48.5% of NZ’s greenhouse gas emissions do not exist. They then confuse these theoretical emissions with real carbon emissions such as those from oil and gas; And they lump them all together and the result is a complete farce.

Good support for options to treat methane differently to CO2 in Carbon Zero submissions.
Of the unique submissions received on the Carbon Zero Bill consultation 42% did not support a target of net zero emissions across all gases by 2050. Predominantly it was the options to remove biological livestock gases that were favoured by this … Read More...
