It was rain!

It was rain!

OPINION: Lives were lost, houses destroyed and infrastructure crippled in Auckland last week and all Greenpeace can do is to blame New Zealand’s dairy sector.

While government agencies and people were busy protecting lives and property from floods, Greenpeace was calling for a reduction in cow numbers claiming that intensive dairying is causing climate change.

Sorry greenies, you are way off target. It was the sheer volume of rainfall, coupled with poor investment in infrastructure that put many streets and neighbourhoods under water.

And no amount of Greenpeace propaganda will change that!
