Extract: 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 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. 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.

Hamish Bielski joins Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson at RCR, to question why some agri-science and farmer-owned industry players do not have the farmers, or the nations, best interests at heart.

.. carbon farming, which is different to production forestry. But I was reading that white paper by Jenny Western Brown .. it's water quality on marginal land. [ignoring the guardians of that land containing two point six million hectares of native gullies, etc] She talked about the quality of water. She didn't mention, the quantity of water. If you look at the headwaters, the models show most catchments 40 to 45 % at least reduction in water yields, in those catchments twenty odd years after those trees were planted. … of course don't need to tell any of your listeners in the North Island, East Coast about sediment and slash of large scale pine plantations…

Teacher, Farmer and Scientist -Peter Foster joins Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson on RCR, on the Societal Cost of Using Improbable Climate Change Models and whether The Methane Science Review Panel will finally set the record straight on Methane’s irrelevance to Global Warming …

Extract: So if you look at our sheep, sheep and cows, if you've heard or your flock remains the same size, you're actually not adding to warming. And if you look at sheep, we've decreased since nineteen ninety one, I think, cows from the mid two thousands, and even the UN and IPCC has stated that we've overstated methane by three to four times Jamie. So at worst we are four millions of a degree in terms of our contribution or millions of a degree.

Co-founder of the Methane Science Accord and South Otago farmer Hamish Bielski joins Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson to share his agricultural sector views, especially on the politicisation of the methane molecule, and sheep breeding programs.

by Rural News Staff Writers :
Extract: Farmers with experience and breeding knowledge are deeply concerned about the pressure to breed for low methane sheep traits and its effects on other important traits they have been pursuing over the last 100 years.
AgResearch predicts that choosing this trait could cost 10 to 15% per year sacrifice in growth, reproduction, survival and adult weights. Physical changes to sheep could also mean we end up with an inferior ewe flock ….

So this is a this is a this is the tragedy, really, Jamie. And again this is where politics of fear is taking more replacement science facts. So he hasn't bothered to vaguely understand the you know who's using outdated metrics. Even the IPCC has has discredited the metrics that these using.

Owen Jennings, Ex-MP & Chairman Of The Methane Science Accord joins Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicholson on RCR to discuss on the current state of play for NZ’s politics, why methane science is flawed & his eulogy for Dr Jock Allison. Including updates on the Accord’s plans for 2024

Jaspreet Boparai and Don Nicolson are joined by Owen Jennings, Former Federated Farmers National President: More from the ‘Methane Science Accord' Former Federated Farmers national president and MP Owen Jennings returns to RCR to share more about the Methane Science Accord, demanding the truth is told about the actual impacts of methane emissions on the environment. 

This week on Groundswell Radio: Peter Williams chats with Groundswell co-founder Bryce McKenzie and then North Otago farmer and founder of the Methane Science Accord, Jane Smith on AgriZero.

The current proposed ruminant methane tax could see around 20 per cent of sheep and beef farms go out of business, says Otago farmer, environmentalist and co-chairperson of the newly founded Methane Science Accord, Jane Smith.
“It’s generic, overbearing and economically quite treacherous, particularly to farming operations that are flourishing to a lesser degree economically.”

South Otago regenerative farmer Hamish Bielski, a founder of the Methane Science Accord, joins Paul Brennen to discuss their call for zero taxing of ruminant methane.

RCR; Owen Jennings expresses his frustration with the demonisation of methane and the establishment of the Methane Science Accord. He argues that methane is often unfairly targeted, and he believes that the science surrounding methane's impact on climate change is not being accurately represented. The Methane Science Accord was created to address these concerns and promote a more balanced understanding of methane's role in climate change.

HAMISH BIELSKI joins PETER WILLIAMS, to discuss the Methane Science Accord, the science and the policy that is negatively impacting farmers, rural communities and food production.
