SHOCKING EXPOSÉ: Climate Scientists ACCUSE New Zealand and Ireland of Using a Deceptive “Accounting Trick”!
Are They ENSURING Our DOOM?
In a jaw-dropping revelation, 26 top climate scientists are calling out New Zealand and Ireland for pulling a fast one! These countries are reportedly shamelessly backing their methane-spewing sheep and cattle industries, putting the ENTIRE planet at risk in the battle against climate change!
“Dangerous Precedent” ALERT!
An open letter has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, highlighting how New Zealand’s new methane targets could pave the way for disaster. And that’s not all—experts are also sounding the alarm on Ireland’s baffling approach!
GOVERNMENT GIMMICKS!
Both governments, heavyweights in livestock production, are allegedly using a brand-new “accounting method” to calculate methane’s impact, doing away with long-standing practices in a disturbing twist. This controversial method, called global warming potential star (GWP*), purports to account for methane’s short lifespan. But is it merely a clever ruse? Scientists warn it could allow skyrocketing levels of methane to continue, thwarting progress in the global fight against climate change!
“A BARREL OF LIES!”
Paul Behrens, a climate expert at Oxford, compares it to pouring 100 barrels of pollution into a river and celebrating when you only pour 90! “It’s utterly ridiculous!”
Drew Shindell from Duke University adds that this could be an “accounting trick” that “lets you off the hook,” allowing governments to wriggle free from their responsibilities while burying global progress under a mountain of methane!
MASSIVE EMISSIONS: THE UGLY TRUTH!
New Zealand and Ireland are among the WORLD’S worst offenders when it comes to agricultural methane emissions, largely due to their relentless meat and dairy industries. In New Zealand, nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture—primarily from livestock! Meanwhile, Ireland’s dairy sector churns out mind-boggling amounts of methane per cow!
ARE WE DOOMED?
Experts say this slippery slope could give other nations the green light to do as little as possible in terms of cutting methane emissions, jeopardizing vital commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 2021 Global Methane Pledge.
CRUNCH TIME: Ireland Must ACT NOW!
Professor Paul Price warns that Ireland needs swift, aggressive cuts to get anywhere near limiting warming to 1.5°C—yet the country is doing the exact opposite, ramping up production instead! Meanwhile, while dairy herds shrink elsewhere in Europe, Ireland’s count has shot up over the past 15 years. What gives?
A WEAK RESPONSE!
New Zealand plans to roll out new methane targets that are shockingly lower than the recommendations from its own Climate Change Commission. Instead of cutting emissions significantly, it appears they’re settling for mediocrity!
“So, what’s next?” you ask?
The governments of Ireland and New Zealand have gone silent, refusing to comment on this impending crisis. Meanwhile, scientists are urging for a serious reevaluation of both methane and CO₂ targets.
The message is clear: if we don’t take immediate action, the future of our planet hangs in the balance! Time is TICKING!
