Badge of honour!

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Milking It reckons New Zealand should take a bow after winning the 'Fossil of the Day' award at COP30 in Brazil over recent improvements to our methane targets.

Oblivious to the irony of an auditorium full of COP30 attendees who had all burned many tonnes of aviation fuel to attend the blow-fest, they have attempted to shame nations like ours for what they see as inaction.

These hypocrites think the same way as Greenpeace, who misrepresent the science around methane emissions as "an accounting trick", determined as they are to kill dairy farming.

On the contrary, our government should be commended for not caving in to pressure to knobble our industry and economy based purely on blind ideology.

In fact, you could argue they didn't go far enough in cutting our methane targets.
