- Ban all synthetic nitrogen fertilisers
- Adjusting stocking rates according to the holding capacity of the land;
- The ban on nitrogen fertilisers has been estimated to cost the economy $19.6 billion and destroy 70,000 jobs. The only country on Earth to do this was Sri Lanka, which led to soaring food prices, reduced crop yields, and a major economic crisis, before they backtracked. So the Greens are advocating for something that has been proven to be a disaster
- The adjusting stocking rates policy is code for shooting cows because they fart and burp too much. They have talked in the past about a 20% reduction, which would reduce export earnings by $5.4 billion a year.

Sadly, it is not just the Greens that promote the climate alarmist nonsense, but also Luxon. He is promoting methane inhibitors for livestock that many farmers will not use, as they are harmful to livestock.
The greens are dangerous.
Luxon ran an airline that burned tens of thousands of tons of hydro cartons at high altitude.
Rather hypocritical to tell farmers how they should farm, and to criticize their emissions.
NZ finds itself in a situation of being governed by a dictator.
Have you forgotten that NZ lost its methane mapping satellite last year at a cost of $32 million?
Wasn't that a pointless waste of money to even develop and launch a device to monitor something that happens naturally and uncontrollably ?
Apparently the Hunga Tonga-Hunga volcano belched 330,000 tons of methane !
What's it equivalent in ruminants down on the farm who need to be killed to offset this ?
NZ should be shut down immediately. That will cut global warming by 0.005degrees. We’ll worth it I say.
The greens are only that colour in terms of their naivete and also in terms of the decomposing body that comprises their ideas.
