A FARM organisation pushing net zero and related woke agendas is not happy with cattle industry bureaucrats abandoning their plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2030.
Farmers for Climate Action CEO Natalie Collard has told the ABC that any change to “emissions methodology must have integrity and be widely accepted”. Collard apparently would have us believe that the relentless drum beating and wailing over the alleged “climate crisis” does have integrity.
“We understand RMAC (Red Meat Advisory Council) dropping the carbon-neutral by 2030 target because most farmers won’t achieve net-zero emissions by then,” she said. “However, we’re a science-based organisation, so we can’t pretend climate neutral and GWP (global warming potential) is a credible science.”
Ms Collard should be asking why her “science-based organisation” is pretending there’s a climate crisis and pushing ludicrous schemes to “electrify farming” (i.e. end diesel use) and reduce methane burps from cattle – all based on endless theoretical climate models based on biased data input by climate alarmists looking for their next environmental research grant.
The latest example of the hysteria is Climate Council chairman Matt Kean warning that 99% of the Great Barrier Reef could disappear in the next 20 years.
John McKillop, the independent chairman of the Red Meat Advisory Council (affiliated with the Cattle Australia and other livestock industry bodies), said abandoning the net zero by 2030 goal was partly due to a better understanding of emissions reduction and a realisation they were not on track to reach the target.
“We just, quite frankly, realised we’re not going to get to carbon neutral by 2030,” he told the ABC.
Cairns News suggests that any thinking livestock producer must have long been wondering what it even means to become “carbon neutral by 2030”. Apparently, 2030 is the year that green fairies and unicorns prance about in pristine pastures on an eco-transformed planet.
The reality is that many producers can see first hand the destructive role that “renewable energy” is having on the environment as transmission lines cut across properties and wind tower projects flatten vegetation that farmers can’t touch.
For what it’s worth, the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory claims livestock contributes about 11 per cent of Australia’s total greenhouse gas emissions – again, another theoretical calculation, that placed in context, means little to nothing when put up against total emissions from vehicular traffic, or the average 29,000 barrels of jet fuel burned daily by jet flights worldwide.
And unfortunately, the beef bureaucrats haven’t yet seen the sense in following the Trump administration’s lead and entirely abandoning the net zero scam. Meat and Livestock Australia, for instance, has blown and incredible $200 million on the various emission reduction schemes.
“We’ll still be trying to reduce our emissions as much as we can, but the focus will now be on emissions intensity rather than the absolute number of tonnes of carbon emitted,” said McKillop.
Cattle producers might also consider China’s 1140 coal-fired power stations, next time they are adding some methane-reducing supplement to the cattle feed to understand what a spurious pixie dust scheme they’ve been conned into.
Of course there are some practical production benefits from more effective digestion of feed or increasing carbon levels in soil, but even the Cattle Council now realises it’s almost impossible to quantify the effects of those schemes on climate and certainly not worth the fanatical green commitment to becoming “net zero” as pushed by Farmers for Climate Action (FCA).
Collard’s organisation pushes ideas straight out of Agenda 2030, the Great Reset and the UN Environment Program. They would be better advised to focus on practical regenerative farming than pushing green globalist ideology whose intent is more anti-farming that pro-farming, as we have repeatedly shown.
The duplicitous ideological bent of FCA is clear from their own mission statement: “To influence Australia to adopt strong economy-wide climate policies and realise a prosperous and sustainable future, full of opportunity for farmers and farming communities.”
“Climate policies” are simply environmentalist policies that are already imposed by all levels of government and are indisputably an onerous burden on the farming sector and the Australian economy in general.
FCA’s “theory of change” statement is straight out the New Left environmentalist campaign manuals.
“We believe that if we grow the number of farmers, their communities and their representatives who are leading on climate-smart farming solutions and championing strong economy-wide climate policy, we can influence governments to implement climate policies that mitigate climate change and benefit rural communities.”
FCA’s “tool kit” topics reveal the green UN agenda being pushed: carbon markets, climate jargon explained, first nations land practices, international agreements, nature repair markets, reducing emissions, reducing farm energy demand, renewables etc.
The section on “international agreements” states categorically: “The science is settled – climate change is happening now, and there are things we can do to mitigate its impact.” As Cairns News readers and many others know, that statement is a lie. The science is not settled, not by a long shot.
The FCA website pontificates further: “For almost 30 years, governments around the world have committed to working together to reduce global emissions. The main way governments coordinate these efforts is through the ‘Paris Agreement’ (which has taken over from the ‘Kyoto Protocol’).
“The Paris Agreement calls on all countries to reduce their emissions with the goals of preventing the global average temperature from rising more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to keep temperature rise below 1.5°C.
“Currently, 195 countries have ratified the Paris Agreement, including Australia and all of our major trading partners. A UN Climate Change Conference has been held every year since 1997 to bring parties together to progress work on agreements and targets. The latest was held across November and December 2023 in Dubai.”
So innocent Aussie meat, grain and livestock producers are urged to get on board with the UN’s global green campaign – the same global green apparatus working to make livestock production redundant with manufactured insect protein or fake meat products; the same green apparatus working to rid the landscape of “unsustainable” livestock grazing and herding human populations into digitally-controlled 15-minute urban habitat zones.
Farmers for Climate Action are at best naive and at worst duplicitous if they believe the global environmental agenda is about “a prosperous and sustainable future, full of opportunity for farmers and farming communities”.
Diane Drayton Buckland said – “… Is this the first sign of the deliberate destruction and reduction of our foods?”
No, Diane, no it’s not.
Maybe the Holocaust of the Bees was the “first sign”, or the Genocide of the Chickens and the PERMANENT SHORTAGE of eggs all across Australia. All justified and EXECUTED by faceless UNELECTED beauracrats and “public officials” on the premise of FAKE INVENTED “CRISES” and utterly BS fabricated “disaster” narratives, and ENFORCED by the usual shit-for-brains granny-bashing child-molesting drug-dealing sex-trafficking pig-raping mass-murdering ARMIES of CONGENITALLY RETARDED Hired Mercenary Thugs along with battalions of white-coated “public servants” on their heirarchically mandated EXTERMINATION POWER TRIP.
Whatever overt warning signs are screaming in our faces right now, this genocidal Globalist scheme to DESTROY our food supplies and exterminate our Farmers has been in the mill for YEARS now, all quietly percolating down the channels of our FOREIGN-OWNED fake corporate “government” with neither our consultation nor consent, just like all the OTHER mass-murdering nation-destroying SHIT being RAMMED down our collective throats whether we like it or NOT.
All quietly, covertly, SECRETLY built into the Globalist-dictated legislative and “Treaty” frameworks meticulously curated, developed and manufactured to facilitate and expedite their relentless genocidal AGENDA, at every possible level of our fake foreign-owned corporate “governance”, over many YEARS while we were all sleeping and no-one was watching.
Just like is happening right across the Western world in LOCKSTEP RIGHT NOW. Klaus wasn’t “penetrating zee cabinets” for nothing.
They don’t work for us, they don’t answer to us, and they NEVER back down, they only ever DOUBLE DOWN. And the only way to emphatically and meaningfully STOP these Treasonous mass-murdering mongrel arsehole bastards will involve sturdy ropes and lamp posts.
My husband and I can rarely afford takeaway food and home food is now so expensive it’s hard to cope but in the last couple of days I tried to get us an Angus beef burger and both HJs and McDonald’s did not have any of the Angus Beef Patties.
Is this the first sign of the deliberate destruction and reduction of our foods?
Natalie Collard, if you’re reading this, WAKE UP. You’re spouting complete bullshit. Look out your window. Step outside. Breathe the air. Yes you can. There is no difference in our weather from 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 . . . 100 years and more ago (if anything we’re going through a cooler period than the 1970s-80s). You have been duped. Use your power for truth, not to promote globalist corporate lies.
The author said – “… Apparently, 2030 is the year that green fairies and unicorns prance about in pristine pastures on an eco-transformed planet…”
Do we get to eat the Unicorns? Kind of puts a new slant on that old favourite, “Corned Beef” (or dare we even go there… “Horned Beef”).
And if all those Green Fairies start Fairy Farting, no wukkas mate! We can enlist the Luciferian Israeli Savages to come on over here and do a Gaza on the Farting Fairies, and we can all sit on a nearby hilltop in the Sunshine and have family picnics with laughter and gaiety to be entertained by all the slaughter and butchery and mass-murder unfolding in the plains down below – just like the prehistorically barbaric Israeli Savages do.
Because Genocide comes so naturally to them, it’s literally a family obligation for the Israeli Savages, folks, they live to kill Goyim. That’s you, just BTW – you’re the Goyim.
re: ” No one is that stupid therefore she is either that stupid or unbelievably dishonest. ”
In my modest opinion, Stupidity would be just an excuse. Dishonesty would be an explanation.
The Scientific Method has morphed into $cientific Agreement. And that just means compromises between big money and little principle. Nothing to do with ‘Stupidity’.
Farmers For Climate Action CEO Natalie Collard said,
“However, we’re a science-based organisation, so we can’t pretend climate neutral and GWP (global warming potential) is a credible science.”
No one is that stupid therefore she is either that stupid or unbelievably dishonest.
She has to go. Where did CN find the smug photograph. She has to go.
We have Jennifer Marohasy saying the opposite to Collard because Collard is a dill.
There is no human induced climate change.
The chemtrails are a desperate attempt to trap the heat in hoping the thermometers will read higher.
The farmers should be voting out all traitorous and treasonous sleeze.
Wind turbines do not produce the essentail and legally required 50 hertz sinusoidal waveform energy our appliances and machinery were designed for.
Why stop mining finite coal and start mining finite lithium. Madness.
General motors are spending a billion dollars on a new V8 ICE factory.
Shiploads of EVs are going yo the ocean floor. Pollution???
Trust the Science. The Science is clear and settled.
As sure as 2+2=4 we are being fkd by ‘climate change/global warming’ bullshit from the Temple of $ciencetology and its Money Merchant operatives.
Stop paying tithes and alms and silent acquiescence to the proselytising fkrs if you REALLY don’t wish to be fkd by them.
Despite what my teachers may have said at the time, I wasn’t entirely somnambulant during my high school science lessons; I retained more than enough to be able to understand the principles involved so that I could follow up later.
Without going into all the relevant physics and chemistry, let me just say that a few, significantly less dense than air, methane molecules floating around in the atmosphere wouldn’t last long where there is always some oxygen molecules being dissociated by solar radiation, facilitating the oxidation of methane into oxides of carbon and hydrogen.
About 100 years ago some bods trapped the gasses being diffused out of termite mounds and they guessed that about 3/4 of the methane being produced on land came from termites which had similar gut microbes for “digesting” complex carbohydrates (like cellulose and lignin) as do ruminants. But ruminants don’t have it all on their own; other animals have a gut biome that produce methane by the anaerobic digestion of carbohydrates. In fact, all those years ago I knew of some adolescent scallywags who got some entertainment by lighting up their farts.
Quite apart from the “biogas” produced in shit-pits, stagnant ponds and marshes, let’s eliminate (or tax) volcanos, without even mentioning how much methane might be produced by baleen whales’ burps and farts because they gobble up tons of plankton each every day.
Nah! We can’t do that because the misanthropes have “settled the science”.
Ohh – sooo good, this information gets out – even on ABC!!!
Thank You – Thank You to all who are using their senses!
The Global Elite and their Mouthpiece Media have come up with a new code word for their weather worx and geo-engineering – which the sheeple are being programmed to understand as climate crises due to excess carbon emissions.
We have witnessed the advent of the ‘bomb cyclone’ .
Sydney had one and so did Portugal. Exact same messaging to the sheeple. We are to believe that the UN Climate Catastrophizers are right about ‘climate change’ as a real phenomena due to those carbon emissions. ‘And OH LOOK!’ we are now getting ‘bomb cyclones’ because NET ZERO targets.’ And so forth.
Poor old Sydney has just been subjected to a geo-engineered event. After the ‘rain surge’ blows through they might even get some DEW bushfires. Now there’s some climate change for ya.
No one should believe this horseshit from the UN compliant Marxist state and pravda. Those who are on the watch for the good of the nation of Australia will apply themselves to find out who was contracted to deliver the ‘bomb cyclone’ to Sydney.
There will be a dark money funnel down one of those rabbitholes our very own EKaren is so concerned to keep under surveillance.
Why are they so desperate to keep pushing the lies about CO2 ?
Some of them have been keeping their bloodline for well over 1000 years so they want to save some oil and gas for the next ice age which could be upon “us” within 1000 years. Get ready for more inflation and more oil shocks as dollars go towards zero, your pay will stay much the same.

What Percentage of Air is Human Sourced C02?
March 23, 2011 By jennifer
………….The average person hears the question ….. “What percentage of the CO2 content in the Atmosphere is man made?” and there are answers that vary, like GetUp saying it’s at 28%, and others saying it’s as low as 3%.
Now, if you can see the point of view of the average person, he or she now thinks that the overall CO2 content of the Atmosphere is ….. and more often than not they will believe that GetUp figure of that 28%. They have failed to see the accentuation of the part that says ….. man made, or have misinterpreted it.
The original question has been misinterpreted by them, not the answer, whether they accept one figure or the other.
People look at me like I’m crazy when I try to tell them the overall CO2 content of the Atmosphere ….. not the fraction of that which is man made, but the whole overall content of CO2.
They ‘sort of’ understand the 390 PPM, but cannot equate that to a percentage, if you see what I mean by that.
That 390 PPM equates to 0.039% of the total Atmosphere, and as soon as I mention that, all of a sudden, I’m a raving loony, because everyone ‘knows’ it’s almost 30%.
When I then add that Water Vapor, the largest of the Greenhouse Gases is indeed 50 times greater, they don’t believe that.
When I then attempt to reinforce that figure of 0.039%, comparing that to Oxygen which stands at 20.54%, which is 525 times greater than for CO2, again, I’m the crazy one.
Then when I further add that by far the largest part of the Atmosphere is Nitrogen at 76.55%, I am immediately discounted as having no credibility whatsoever on the subject of CO2.
Because, right back to the start, they have misinterpreted the original question thinking that answer of the GetUp figure of 28% CO2 as the total content of the Atmosphere.
This is where the people using that 28% figure are winning, because they understand that the ‘average’ person ‘perceives’ the CO2 problem to be such a large amount, when in actuality it is in fact 0.039%, a figure that no one actually believes.
I’ve tried this on family members and even though I very carefully explain the whole thing, still they won’t believe it.
That’s why the AGW argument has such huge support, because people believe the most plausible thing as opposed to the actual facts.

‘What Percent Of Our Atmosphere Is CO2?’: Doug LaMalfa Stumps Entire Panel With Climate Questions

Why does the percentage of gases like oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide remain almost the same in the atmosphere?
Answers (1)
The atmosphere is composed of a mix of several different gases in different amounts. The permanent gases whose percentages do not change from day to day are nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The cycling of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the biosphere results in relatively constant proportions of these compounds in the atmosphere over time. For example, the carbon cycle, as it relates to the biosphere, is simple. Inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) is converted to organic carbon (the molecules of life). To complete the cycle, organic carbon is then converted back to inorganic carbon. The nitrogen cycle begins with the fixing of inorganic atmospheric nitrogen (N_{2}) into organic compounds. These nitrogen-containing compounds are used by organisms and, through the process of denitrification, are converted back to inorganic atmospheric nitrogen.

Carbon dioxide makes up .04% of the atmosphere. Australia’s total contribution to that figure in real terms amounts to a speck of fly shit on the Sydney harbour bridge. Any farmer still listening to the “science” is a gullible fool who will lose his farm to agenda driven shills! Wake up!
“We understand RMAC (Red Meat Advisory Council) dropping the carbon-neutral by 2030 target because most farmers won’t achieve net-zero emissions by then,” she said. “However, we’re a science-based organisation, so we can’t pretend climate neutral and GWP (global warming potential) is a credible science.”
I ask where is the credible science she states? Nobody has been able to provide physical evidence that the climate is changing other than it has over millennium. Has this whizz kid without intelligence, worked out a way to plug every volcano on the globe to prevent CO2 emissions. If not any reduction of CO2 from cattle is a waste of time.
I wonder if this wonder-child drives any conveyance with an internal combustion engine or whether she can be seen jet setting around the world in aircraft spewing out carbon dioxide?
Be interesting to know what salary she receives via taxpayers to spew out this useless garbage called information, which is actually lies.
Stupid inbred climate activists need a DNA overhaul, as they have no discernment of truth and lies.
Without climate change activation over the deceit of there even being a damaging change in climate, when there is NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF IT AT ALL COMPARED TO OLD RECORDS, these university spitouts have to get free money somehow, and this is the result.
Now meat, is way too expensive to buy and is essential to healthy growth ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden.
Power, crucial to domestic and industrial use is crippling these 2 economies while very cheap fuel that would immediately solve this problem lies buried in the ground, with all the associated jobs and benefits for families buried with it.
AND … the land is screaming for carbon to fuel its vegetation and forests, wild and domestic animals, …???
All this public theft of culture and comfort because a few lousy activists selfishly need a useless job because the useless government can’t supply them with a proper one.
AND DO NOT FORGET THAT OUR POLITICIANS ARE JUST OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL PUPPETS OF THE NWO WHO DO NOT SERVE US AT ALL WHO SHOULD BE HANGING FROM ROPES IN THE MARKET SQUARE.
There isn’t a climate crisis.
We actually need MORE CO2 in our atmosphere, not less.
Anything said by the UN, WHO, WEF and all the other scum that cling to these organisations, is a lie. How can you tell they’re lying?, They’re speaking.
Any questions?
“Farmers for Climate Action” must be Baron S Hacca and Baron Twiggy and a couple of others, because normal farmers and truck drivers are wise to all this and they all circulate together and open conversations by asking me if I believe it’s bullshit.
Baron S Hacca has had great success with his Teals Party, only one hiccup when he got a couple of them to do some shredding for him, apart from that a very effective investment. So why would he stop there.
There is more “hot air” coming out of Collard’s mouth, than out of the rear end of all the cattle in Queensland
I find it interesting that Trump just approved ten new nuclear power stations and has called the green new deal a scam and won’t talk to Albo the commo and stopped promoting the covid jab. Does anyone see a trend that maybe everyone else should follow?

If you are writing a song, I help sponsor it.
Seriously.
I RECALL BACK IN 2006 THERE WAS AN ALARMIST GREEN REPORT THAT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF WAS INANDATED WITH POLUTION AND HAD BEEN 80% DESTROYED.
FORTUANATLY A FLYMAN TOOK TO THE AIR AND FILMED THE REEF WITH A HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERA WHICH REVEALED THAT THE CLAIM FROM THE GREENS WAS STRAIGHT OUT LIES ALL WAS WELL ON THE REEF.
IT JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT GREEN MINDED KIND OF PEOPLE WILL DO TO CREATE HISTERIA VIA LIES AND PROPAGANDA (I BELIEVE THE TWO WORDS MEAN THE SAME)
I MIGHT WRITE A SONG ABOUT LIES AND PROPEGANDA AS A TRIBUTE TO ALL THOSE THAT I FIND APPROPIATE.
So the ‘climate change’ scam, surely up there with the moon landing and the holocaust.
Carbon is NOT a ‘greenhouse gas’. The people who are pushing to reduce CO2, and dim the skies, are eugenists who want to reduce the human population. No CO2, means no food, which means no people.
So we have the FCA (Farting Cows Association), just another busy-body think tank. Where do these think-tanks come from? I am sure that there are some, like the Organics Certification body, that started with good intentions, but somehow got infiltrated and co-opted, however I think that many of these ‘expert bodies’ where set up from the beginning to feed a narrative, so governments make decisions in their favour because they are the expert body advising.
I saw a picture of a famous rock taken at low tide 150yrs ago, and another piction taken last year. Looks the same to me.
A good example is a glass of water filled to the brim, with a lot of ice cubes. Some of the ice cubes sit above the rim of the glass. Climatards believe that when the ice all melts the glass will over-flow. Well, in fact, it doesnt. The less dense ice, which displaces the water, when melting, is exactly equal to the initial displacement.
Victorian Teachers Union fund, was that $40million that they got sucked out of when Al Gore came and presented the infamous ‘hockey stick’ graphic. I wonder what that investment is worth now.
At least people are waking up, just got to get a non-co-opted govt to call bullshit on a lot of things.
Correction to my post earlier.
Facts should have been a quarter below average, a half are average, and a quarter above.
When you are my age, the memory is not as good as it should be!
After many years thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that a third of our population is below average IQ!
Psychologists tell us that a third are below average…a third are average and a third are above average!
The third group below, in Oz, are not the kids/ adults who find learning hard….(some of them have more sense than many with better IQs)…IT IS THE WOKE IDIOTS WHO CAN’T THINK FOR THEMSELVES….THEY RELY ON WHAT THE GOVERNMENT TELLS THEM.
They are the mentally deficient ones.I find it so hard to believe that any so called intelligent person cannot see that we are being conned by the WEF, UN, globalists…AND OUR GOVERNMENT!
First they dismantled manufacturing now it’s the food source the farms agricultural and livestock. Who needs local when pork is mass produced in high-rise pig farm towers over the seas, brought here by a few middlemen making their killing?
