Are you here to tell us your one big thing?
Your one big thing:
Your one big thing:
I am a sheep & beef farmer farming Redacted text hectares of gentle rolling country in the foothills of Redacted text, i farm this property in a low intensity way , always paying attention to detail in the way this property is farmed. I am fortunate to have approx. Redacted text hectares of pristine native beech forest and at least another Redacted text hectares of various woodlots, shelter belts, native riparian plantings etc . I farm at a ratio of about 70% sheep, 30 % beef cattle.
Due to my long interest in meteorology and geology i have become concerned about the way ' climate change' has become catastrophised ,unsupported by scientific facts. What is interesting is if one does have any knowledge of these subjects it is soon obvious that 'climate change' is driven mainly by ideology NOT on facts . There are literally 100's of examples of this , too many to list here but i will mention a couple of important ones.
If you look at a graph of CO2 in parts per million vs its warming effects, CO2 has by less than 100 parts, done virtually all the warming it can , as water vapour is by far and away the major GHG, CO2's role in the gradual rise in the world's temperature i think is overstated and methane's contribution (.00018%) is undoubtedly overstated which leads me to agriculture, i get annoyed by the media constantly mentioning agriculture contributing 48% of NZ 's emmissions when methane naturally breaksdown to CO2 and water vapour and cycles back into growing grass etc as it has done for 1000's of years.
With the possibility of farmers being taxed ( or something similar) on its methane emissions, there is no way that could happen fairly as the difficulty of measuring sequestration vs emissions would be fraught with difficulty. Taxes can only be made in an exact way .
The other fact is that over the last 100 or so years wild ruminant animals , eg bison which numbered in the millions have been replaced by domesticated ruminants .
I also oppose the CCC using the now outdated and defective GWP 100 modelling and article 2 of the Paris Accord is not being followed, WHY NOT.
To summarise i think certain people have pushed the global warming alarmism hard, eg Al Gore, ( he is not a scientist) and others to shift the western world away from fossil fuel use ( nothing wrong with new technology) to so called renewable energy( neither green nor reliable for baseload power under the guise of climate change to make alot of money.
Hydrogen as an alternative energy sourcehas proven to be expensive and dangerous ( has the ability to travel from the core of the earth to space)
