New Zealand's parliament has tabled a landmark bill that will set a target of zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The bill treats methane emissions from animals differently than other greenhouse gas emissions, but still targets a 10 per cent reduction in biological methane by 2030, and a reduction of up to 47 per cent by 2050."We've built a practical consensus across government that creates a plan for the next 30 years, which provides the certainty industries need to get in front of this challenge," Ardern said in a statement.
Climate Change Minister James Shaw said the Zero Carbon Bill would make it a legally binding objective to help keep global warming below the 1.5C rise forecast by UN experts between 2030 and 2052.In the complicated contest for NSW’s most marginal seat, voters have a simple message on climate change The UN said livestock farming alone is responsible for up to 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.New Zealand's main agriculture lobby group said the methane target would hurt the country and do little to help the climate.
Sweet as bro
That's insane. Only a dictator would do that.
LOL....what plant 3Billion trees its taken them this long to enter the numbers into their calculators... A 3 yr old could have worked it out sooner..
Suicide and genocide until no living beings around. But even then carbon emissions are still higher than zero. Or probably just a small dent as the kiwi is surrounded by water.
Are they trying to get world Co2 levels to 0%
I think the politicians in the LNP should take a good look at New Zealand at least they get it 🐋🐟
Will NZ go Nuclear?
Its fine. I enjoyed civilisation while it lasted, sad to see it go, but I'll do just fine in mad max.
