undermines New Zealand\u2019s Net Zero goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climate scientist Kevin Trenberth challenges the methane emissions narrative, arguing that New Zealand\u2019s stable livestock numbers since 2010 have effectively achieved net-zero.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climate researcher David Frame suggests that drastic reductions in meat and dairy consumption would have a negligible effect on global warming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Newsroom\u2019s reaction over methane emission targets warranted?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Newsroom website has unintentionally blown a massive hole in the credibility of efforts to blame farmers for NZ\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, with one of the world\u2019s top climate scientists rebuking a Newsroom methane story as \u201chokey\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.co.nz\/2024\/04\/08\/govt-sidelines-climate-commission-in-seeking-do-over-of-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According<\/a>&nbsp;to Marc Daalder of Newsroom, the government\u2019s decision to conduct an independent review of methane emission targets from agriculture, apart from the Climate Change Commission\u2019s recommendations, suggests a political manoeuvre to undermine NZ\u2019s Net Zero goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daalder argues that the government\u2019s approach risks prioritising short-term political goals over long-term climate action. By potentially watering down methane targets without substantial new scientific evidence, Daalder is concerned that New Zealand\u2019s commitments to combating climate change may be compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enter Kevin Trenberth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, climate scientist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kevin_Trenberth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kevin Trenberth<\/a>\u00a0questions the scientific basis for stringent methane reduction goals and has challenged the widely held belief that these emissions significantly contribute to global warming. He says, in a comment posted to the Newsroom story, that the moral panic surrounding New Zealand\u2019s emissions, particularly related to methane, is scientifically unfounded.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"360\" data-attachment-id=\"327552\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=327552\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-155.png?fit=720%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,360\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-155\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-155.png?fit=720%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-155.png?resize=720%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-327552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-155.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-155.png?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">No. These fellas aren\u2019t destroying the Earth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Trenberth\u2019s response to Daalder\u2019s analysis, he contends that New Zealand\u2019s agricultural methane emissions have already reached a state of net-zero impact on climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trenberth\u2019s argument centres on the notion that methane emissions from livestock are part of a natural cycle. He explains that the methane emitted by cattle and land use basically represents a re-release of carbon dioxide that was temporarily stored in short-term grasses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cyclical process, according to Trenberth, does not result in a net harm to New Zealand\u2019s carbon dioxide targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe issue is that methane is so short lived that, in fact, NZ is already at \u201cnet zero\u201d (with regards to) methane. The numbers of livestock have been stable enough since 2010 so the amounts emitted are completely compensated by the amounts oxidised to carbon dioxide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince the methane started out as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere before being taken up in grass, and then eaten by livestock, the process is circular. The main issues with methane are fossil methane from mining operations,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trenberth describes the Newsroom analysis as \u201chokey\u201d and that New Zealand\u2019s stable livestock numbers since 2010 have led to a balance where the methane emitted is offset by the amount oxidised to carbon dioxide.&nbsp; Trenberth correctly points out that there are&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/974482\/new-zealand-dairy-cattle-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fewer livestock today<\/a>&nbsp;than there was back then, further strengthening the argument that New Zealand methane emissions are already at net zero.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will a drastic reduction in meat and dairy consumption have an effect on global warming?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trenberth is not alone in thinking that methane\u2019s effects have been overstated.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClimateFramo\/status\/1579635092330512384?t=LBPL_PvIlDo5eoqbEMDVKA&amp;s=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According<\/a>&nbsp;to climate researcher David Frame, the effect would be negligible if there was a drastic reduction in meat and dairy consumption of the sort envisioned by the government\u2019s net zero policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Newsroom website has unintentionally blown a massive hole in the credibility of efforts to blame farmers for NZ\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, with one of the world\u2019s top climate scientists rebuking a Newsroom methane story as \u201chokey\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":327554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691818056,691818087,691826963,691818154,691818351],"class_list":{"0":"post-327548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-climate-change","9":"tag-global-warming","10":"tag-methane-ch4","11":"tag-net-zero","12":"tag-new-zealand","14":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0New-Zealand-dairy-farm.webp?fit=1920%2C1081&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1nd2","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":204622,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=204622","url_meta":{"origin":327548,"position":0},"title":"\u201cScientists Say\u201d","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"16\/06\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"\u201cScientists\u00a0say\u00a0methane emissions, as well as other greenhouse gases, must be cut to limit the average rise of global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius \u2014 a threshold for avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.
