Jane Smith, Apologises to the Taxpayers of NZ, the Country with Jamie Mackay
Jane Smith: today apologises to the taxpayers of NZ and gets stuck into the host of The Country, who she accuses of having a "methane lobotomy".
Extract: I've just been feeling pretty bad about this, Jamie. When you add up how much money we have been wasting on Methane Pyramid Schemes over the past decades, we're nearly clocking up nearly billion dollars now.
So obviously I heard your interview when I was out battling the elements last week when you interviewed Wayne, about AgriZero folly, and I was consumed, Jamie. You seem to have forgotten all of the facts around our methane profile in New Zealand. I sort of wondered whether you'd had a methane lobotomy or perhaps whether AgriZero was using some of the 187 million dollars to sponsor your show, Jamie, Because again, I was very, very concerned, because we have got to remember, unless we actually profile and actually model our emissions correctly, all taxpayers in New Zealand will continue to pay for solutions to a problem that may not exist, Jamie.
So Jamie, just a couple of things. Firstly, we're very very quick to mitigate something without actually modelling it correctly. So the fact of the matter is if we hold out every single ruminant in New Zealand tomorrow, every single ruminant, it would make no difference. What's the wever to global temperatures. So to start being interfering, but the whole vax thing or bolus or feed editors, etc, are exactly the same thing. There are interferences and something that doesn't need to be interfered with. And it's really interesting you look at the emission's profile worldwide. Well, firstly, back here at ground level sheets and beef, we've decreased our numbers by what is that fifty three percent documents over since nineteen ninety. Now, that's seventy one percent of emissions decreased.
Jane, Can I just pull you up for a moment. How do you get that seventy one percent number explained? Please?
So that's stock a decrease in stock units, but also an increase in efficiency. So in terms of productivity, so lambs growing faster, carves growing faster, getting stock off the farm quicker without any interference. It's just good good genetics, etc.
