    "It's a case of slower to go faster", and Luxon is soooo 'slow' – thanks farming lobbyists.

    Climate scientists decry govt's approach to methane [3 June 2025]
    Climate change scientists have written an open letter to Christopher Luxon warning that New Zealand government plans to introduce new agriculture methane targets will jeopardise existing agreements.

    The prime minister has dismissed international climate scientists as "worthies" for criticising the government's approach to methane.

    The open letter is not the first time the government has been criticized for convening a panel to advise on a "no added warming" target.

    The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment [Simon Upton, former National govt Minister for Minister for the Environment, and Minister of Research, Science and Technology] has dismissed the science review as a purely political exercise, saying that contrary to claims by the farming lobby, there was no new science on methane to justify a fresh review.

    Upton also said there was no particular reason why farmers should get to 'keep' today's levels of heating, particularly given farming's climate impact is larger than it was in 1990.
