    Humans also emit methane (and CO2). Another tax on the horizon?

      Especially vegetarians and vegans, who emit large quantities of methane.

    After years of imbibed propaganda and pseudo scientism, the useful idiots are ready to believe anything

    Tony Heller has ‘put the record straight’ on Boris Johnson and the UK’s energy supply market. It’s not pretty viewing.

      The Government loathes and detests small businesses as it doesn’t understand the and can’t control them.

        They just want to talk to a few Big Corporations and get them onside, so we are seeing the Fascists take over since the Nazis teamed up with the big names of German industry. The War Factories programme on Porsche was a good watch. We should be grateful that Ferdinand Porsche was crap at designing tanks since he diverted so much effort into useless designs where had they concentrated on making the Panzer IV in greater numbers things might have been different.

      Just what I was going to say.
      Luckily I’m of an age when I really don’t care any more.

    The less we average folk breathe, the more the global rich can waste their own breath.  The more tax we pay for belching and flatulence of livestock, the less meat we can afford to buy.  It all adds up – WEF’s Schwab said “The people are useless eaters.”  And the WHO is growing worm farms for the masses.

    It used to be said that going to New Zealand was like going back to England in the 50s . Now they’re ruled by a political class whose IQ struggles to climb into the 50s .

    The Prince of Wales has something to answer for on this issue…

        I think in modern parlance he’s an “influencer”

    The government’s latest take on overpopulation – “you’ve been taxed on your drink, you been taxed on your smoking, now you’re gonna be taxed on your poking.”

    New Zealand has 25 million sheep, 5 million of whom think they are humans. Hopefully Jacinda’s wonderful woke socialist hermit kingdom will come to an end next year

    Sheep and cattle belching and farting creating Armageddon for all life on Earth?

    I have never laughed so much, for years!

    Po-faced morons, influenced by cretins, with a Monty Python Agenda!

    What could possibly go wrong?

    There’s an item on BBC news about Boris bolstering British food production by “helping” farmers, so that’s why he’s allowing thousands of acres of good farmland to be covered in pv panels!!!!!!!

    Funny how they can push this YET totally miss any of the flatulence from the 7 BILLION and exponentially increasing human beings on the planet ( the human population increased by 27% between 2000-2020) at 40,000ppm CO2 exhaled with each breath somehow does not figure in their thoughts regarding that “poisonous ” gas. This is political “science” at its best!

    More and more It is becoming clear that the ideologically driven clinically insane left is hell bent on creating problems outside of the imagined ones (klimut chaeyngsh).

    Food production is not playing fair setting production records year on year so these at best brainwashed fools now try to sabotage it. Pay attention to what the senile (he was useless when he wasn’t) president of the USA deliberately causing a shortage and consequent price hike in fuel. All food is delivered by truck. I cannot believe they do not know this and he and his cabal of lawless criminals are doing this wilfully. Then look at what the useful idiot Gavin Newsom is doing in California. He is deliberately creating water shortages which have a direct impact on food production. All this pressure is being put on their infrastructure and food supply WHILE they have thrown open the southern border to anyone and everyone.

    These people are beyond delusion, this is criminality.

    There is only one outcome of food shortages…. violence and war

    It was the Old Left that wanted to rule you. The New Left wants you dead.

    The fact that the “few large companies” rely on the SMEs as suppliers, seems to elude this incompetent government

    Don’t tell Carrie or she will have Boris inflicting it on the British Farming.
    Utter madness. You cannot make this up.

    All for a trace gas even less of a percentage than CO2, methane is 0.00019% of the atmosphere.

    I never believe what “commentators” on SkyNews Australia say about New Zealand.
    Often their view
    s are almost actionable. To find out why look up who are the owners of Sky news Australia.
    I equate this site with CNN . and friends
