""Our trading partners are unlikely to smile on this reduction in ambition," [Renwick] said." – perhaps we'll hear from the EU High Commission in Wellington about this soon

I thought I’d have a go at answering the question: what’s the flow on effect on emissions budgets from the methane cuts?

The answer was worse than I had anticipated

Scientists fear weaker methane target signals wider retreat from climate action

After cutting methane targets, New Zealand has a choice: shoulder the burden at huge cost - or cause more warming to the planet.

I read that recently, and it’s okay, but not the wholesale change my body needed. Good for reducing sugar/carbs rather than changing habits.

I think Zoe’s glucose readers would be very helpful if trying to avert/halt diabetes. I read about Zoe and found it interesting - did not know they did podcasts.

Must be 18 months since a real dietician tasked me with trying to eat 30 different plant foods a week, per Megan Rossi’s method.

NZ's new methane target:

Represents doing nothing if historic efficiency gains continue, and assumes new mitigations won't work.

Worse, our farmers need to realise it cedes the future of the paperwork they complain about to places like Brussels instead of Wellington.
