New Zealand wants to introduce price for methane
ORF AUSTRIAN RADIO AND TELEVISION ^ | 6/9/2022 | News Agencies/ORF Austria

The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane has risen at a record pace worldwide in the past year. It is produced to a large extent in agriculture by the fermentation of feed. In New Zealand, a major agricultural exporter, the sector will soon pay for emissions. The farmers are not averse at all, in the sense of the climate.

The draft of the project was published on Wednesday. A price for agricultural emissions is to be set in order to curb the large source of climate-impacting greenhouse gases. New Zealand would thus be the first country in which farmers have to pay for emissions from livestock farming, according to the Ministry of the Environment in Wellington.

New Zealand is home to some 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep...

"Methane pricing" is proposed in New Zealand or in other words for all the cattle and sheep down there (tens of millions) there will be a "fart tax" to save the planet.

Methane concerning Natural Gas extraction, not just animals, is the club the greens will use against our industry. It will be the new Ozone

I'd bet they're averse in the sense of the cost.

This makes perfect sense. People are made of, among other elements, carbon. Knee-cap your farmers so their products will not be price competitive. Fewer farmers, less food, less people.

NZ losers - Covid ultra lockdowned NZ has 4.794 million people and 25.97 million sheep in New Zealand. So they are going to get rid of half their sheep to stop global warming? Lamb meat exports bring in major earnings there.
____________

Top Sheep and Lamb Meat Exports by Country

Australia: US$2.6 billion (up 42.3% from 2016)
New Zealand: $2.5 million (up 37.4%)
United Kingdom: $560.3 million (up 26.8%)
Ireland: $390.1 million (up 32.4%)

Nitwit feminists sucking on the gov’t tit, like Jacinda Ahearn, have less than zero common sense. Impoverishing their nation in pursuit of the unicorn of stopping global warming.

The first sentence in this article:

The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane...

Is an ENORMOUS LIE.

NO ONE has proven this to be true.

THERE IS NO PROOF THAT METHANE DAMAGES THE CLIMATE.

Furthermore---

THERE IS NO PROOF HUMAN ACTIVITY CHANGES THE CLIMATE.

They expect us to believe this propaganda.

And all for an imaginary problem, which half the world is exempt from.

Utter insanity.

Naturally occurring methane is found both below ground and under the seafloor and is formed by both geological and biological processes. How do you make it pay ? LOL

Nextrush :" It (Methane) is produced to a large extent in agriculture by the fermentation of feed.

So begins the war on domestic farm animals used for diary and meet production in New Zealand : taxation of domestic animals biologic digestive fumes.
The Prime Minister of New Zealand was a participant at Davos, and espouses the WEF concept of the "Great RESET".

The most damaging methane out there is that which is produced by politicians as they are involved in pulling their shenanigans on the people.

[[The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane has risen at a record pace worldwide in the past year]]

Yeah gee, it might be all the way up to 0.000004% of the atmosphere by now

Washington State and Seattle in particular is a holy shrine in the Church of Global Warming. According to the National Weather Service this is the average high temperature in Seattle for May over the last 5 years.

2022 59.7
2021 65.7°
2020 68.0°
2019 69.7°
2018 70.8°

Can anyone see a short-term pattern taking place? It is much easier to manipulate the average temperature by statistical means. And even using satellites the actual average annual temperature of the earth is calculable only by using complex algorithms that can be manipulated to show basically any result that is desired.

The climate is cyclic both short and long term. The area near the foothills where my wife and I live was under half a mile of ice a little more than 10,000 years ago. It could be again and in a much shorter time frame. The human race has much more to fear from cooling temperatures than the slight warming that idiots predict.

And rising sea levels? The rate has not changed in the last 500 years. All one has to do is look at a place like St. Augustine Florida which has the oldest fortification in North America. The Castillo de San Marcos was completed approximately 450 years ago. It demonstrates that Sea Levels have not risen at the catastrophic rate the alarmists believe that it is. This is despite the fact that many places near the oceans are sinking because of geologic forces and pumping water from underground reservoirs.
