Methane Panel Slammed Over Science Review Snub

Peter Foster of the Methane Science Accord joins Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson to critique the Government's methane science review panel, accusing it of sidelining key experts and ignoring crucial data. Foster argues the panel was predisposed toward maintaining the status quo, dismissing international findings that question methane's climate impact. With claims that global warming potential metrics are flawed and New Zealand livestock emissions are near-negligible, they call out what they see as decades of scientific groupthink and political inaction. A passionate discussion that challenges the mainstream narrative and calls for an open, evidence-based debate.
