    As is the case with global warming and the imaginary climate emergency.
    Again that seems to be largely opinion
    - no actual evidence, but the
    comment from Lew should cause some to think a little further:
    "If New Zealand disappeared below the waves tomorrow we would never be
    missed so far as our effect on global warming is concerned."
    Irrelevant.

    So just imagine what could happen should "Clean Green New Zealand" (to
    use a past political slogan) not meet the level of emissions targets
    that a National-led Government put us into all those years ago.
    Off topic, non sequitur.

    Would a fickle population somewhere else around the world (UK? Europe?
    Asia?) decide that they no longer wish to buy frozen meat, or dairy
    products - and instead concentrate on supporting their own food
    producers? Is that in the best interests of our farmers?
    Pure conjecture and irrelevant therefore.

    Since writing that I have read this: https://www.pundit.co.nz/content/learning-from-brexit

    which ends with:
    "A new area of regulatory alignment is likely to be about carbon
    emissions. The EU is already moving towards requiring those who export
    products to it from the ‘heavy’ industries – such as aluminium,
    cement, chemicals and steel – to meet the EU’s domestic carbon
    emission standards.

    They have not yet begun addressing farm emissions of methane and
    nitrous oxide. But they will. Our farm sector needs to be preparing
    for that. Rather than the government imposing an emissions regime, it
    might tell them:

    ‘Over to you. If you don’t get on with developing your own strategy
    you will be one day be excluded from some of your valuable export
    markets. The government’s advice is to get onto it as fast as you can. Biological change takes time. Inconvenient regulatory can change a lot
    faster. The government will give you all the reasonable support you
    require.’"

    More completelly off topic rubbish.
    The topic is that there is no climate emergency and no reason for us to destroy our farming for a non-existent threat.
    If you want to continue to change the topic to empty threats from other countries please start your own thread.
    This thread is way beyond your ability to follow.
