The biggest benefit of emissions is global greening, the increase year after year of green vegetation on the land surface of the planet. Forests grow more thickly, grasslands more richly and scrub more rapidly. This has been measured using satellites and on-the-ground recording of plant-growth rates. It is happening in all habitats, from tundra to rainforest. In the four decades since 1982, as Bjorn Lomborg points out, NASA data show that global greening has added 618,000 square kilometres of extra green leaves each year, equivalent to three Great Britains. You read that right: every year there’s more greenery on the planet to the extent of three Britains. I bet Greta Thunberg did not tell you that.

The cause of this greening? Although tree planting, natural reforestation, slightly longer growing seasons and a bit more rain all contribute, the big cause is something else. All studies agree that by far the largest contributor to global greening – responsible for roughly half the effect – is the extra carbon dioxide in the air. In 40 years, the proportion of the atmosphere that is CO2 has gone from 0.034 per cent to 0.041 per cent. That may seem a small change but, with more ‘food’ in the air, plants don’t need to lose as much water through their pores (‘stomata’) to acquire a given amount of carbon. So dry areas, like the Sahel region of Africa, are seeing some of the biggest improvements in greenery. Since this is one of the poorest places on the planet, it is good news that there is more food for people, goats and wildlife.
 
Early Rasputitsa gave Ukrainians time to defend. God bless global warming.

CO2 is the limiting factor. you get more impressive results if everything stays the same, but CO2 is increased into the system.

Basically this new tax will be applied as imported vehicles are certified by Vehicle Inspections NZ. The burden depends on the make and model. Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency, has a veritable encyclopaedia of different rates. Not surprising given the 220,000 vehicles, used and new, imported to NZ annually.
Government offers $8625 discount on EVs, reviving policy killed by NZ First Rebates and subsidies will be available to those who buy expensive, new hybrid or electric vehicles, EVs. The introduction of this tax is happening at the worst possible time for those who typically spend $15,000 on their family vehicle. They will now face an extra $2800 tax for their Toyota people mover. New Teslas on display at the EV giant’s new German manufacturing plant. Those in the market for the sought-after cars will enjoy a tax subsidy at the expense of those who can only afford cheap vehicles, argues Shane Jones.

Conversely the Tesla Model 3 aficionados who spend $80,000 for their new EVs will receive $8,000 free cash from NZTA. Transport Ministers may regard $2800 as loose change, but for most Kiwi families it is Mt Taranaki. Motor vehicle dealers and importers have failed to convince Transport Minister Michael Wood that this tax is regressive and will do very little to reduce carbon emissions. Does he not realise that this clean car programme will injure the very people who voted Labour in 2020? He may increase their minimum wage on April 1, but his reverse Robin Hood tax means these blue collar families have to take their lumps as it disappears on unaffordable vehicles.

Typical EV from S Korea is around 70K NZ. Take from the poor to give to the rich is not a typical socialist taxcindy type tax. Its fueled by her green ideologues currently starving the world with their corn to biofuel idea.
Along with the many farms taxcindy turned into calorie free forests with her tax benefits for foreign companies.
She's as intelligent as the Aussies with their ridiculous water trading scheme.

Ha apparently Taxcindy and her partner in crime are admitting they are dumb. Nash or trash as I prefer to call him are going to reverse on carbon credits for pines. Forcing New Zealanders to pay to have foreign companies plant pines on NZ soil. To end their self created fiasco of planting on world class efficient food producing land.
Morons morons morons...
Driving past cindy forests on rolling fertile land is a sad joke.
They should both have to pay restitution to help rehabilitate when the trees go back to food. Or some monument to the dumb pair is erected in every small settlement they wrecked.

More sustainable farming with Bovaer® cattle feed additive As population and income levels grow, so do the demands humans place on our planet. Adapting to more sustainable ways is a responsibility we all share. If future generations are to enjoy the foods we know and love, we need to move forward in ways that are farm wise and climate friendly.

A pill that can cut "greenhouse gas" 30% in research or 80% like it says on the box.
Farmers are on the doorstep of reducing methane "greenhouse gas"
Seaweed reportedly can cut it by 80%, some German running a genetic breeding program(typical) in Australia reckoned he could cut it by 50% this decade.
So where are the carbon credits for these I wonder? Where are the greenies. They should be funding all this research for free. In fact making farmers millionaires. Is it because they are farmers and nasty cows and this science cannot partake in the great carbon credit trading pyramid..

the other alternative is klaus schwab making us eat crickets and mealworms.
 
2,899,955 People who died from hunger

0 people died from sea level rise.

We are going to replace another farm with solar power panels.
In Australia its fair dinkum . A desert is ok but the most efficient farmland in the world fed by cloudy days with rain just so you can look politically correct...?

The claim about green house cow farts is a load of hot air if you ask me!
