Tacky!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The Hound doesn't have the highest regard for multi-national, fundraising conglomerate Greenpeace.

However, he reckons its attempts to cash in on recent devastating flooding in the top half of the South Island was low - even for it.

"In the wake of the Nelson climate floods, Greenpeace is urging the government to address the causes of climate change from New Zealand's biggest climate polluter, intensive dairy," said Greenpeace's 'lead (anti) agriculture campaigner' Christine Rose.

The Auckland-based biking advocate (just how this qualifies her to speak on agricultural issues is perplexing in itself) then went on to assert - in very poor taste - that the flooding was all the fault of agricultural emissions and would never have happened if the use of nitrogen fertiliser were cut and NZ moved away from 'intensive dairying' to more plant-based, 'regenerative organic farming'.
