The fuck?! Our cattle industry is a huge problem since methane is 30x more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Ocean acidification is an us problem because once it kills off all the oxygen production we’re all dead.

    Huge problem? No its not it doesn't even rank in the top 1000 problems regarding emissions. If you said Brazil 230M /India 194M / China 73M / US 88M "cattle industry is a huge problem" I would agree but 9million cattle is fuck all and not even close to being a 'huge problem'. China has 73million cows and they barely even farm beef. So please try again and tell me why NZ should give a single fuck about emissions? We could drop our emissions by 100% and it wouldnt be as significant as a 1% reduction from China which China is nowhere near doing btw. They cant even do a reduction in the rate of emission growth.
