Well, who could have guessed? According to Sir David King, a British Chief Scientist, NZ can affect climate change. And why? Well ...
The annoying thing with all this is that NZ will be treated as the climate change guinea pig for agricultural control for the world and NZ'ers will buy into this by feeling pride that we will then become "world leaders". No wonder pride is considered the main sin of the the seven deadly sins.

NZ's reliance on agriculture puts the country in a position to influence the global management of greenhouse gas emissions... Nearly half of NZ's total carbon emissions are produced by agriculture, predominantly methane from animals and nitrous oxide from soils and fertilisers.Yes, NZ has a lot of farms, and animals, and soil ...
... though that fact posed challenges for NZ, it also offered potential solutions... NZ needed to develop a method that enabled its livestock to exist in an environment where emissions could be reduced too ... "That solution could then be exported to other countries."So, there you have it. NZ farms are a problem. But, if we work out a way to control the farms and their output that is palatable to the general public, then we can export that control method to other countries who will go: Look, NZ's done this. For climate change we must do whatever we can, otherwise the planet is dooooooommmmmeeeddd!!!!!!
