In doing so, it not only destroys sea life, but also releases carbon stored in the seabed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The ocean has absorbed a third of all carbon emissions, making our planet more habitable. But when that carbon is released back into the water column, it makes the ocean more acidic \u2013 rendering it less able to continue this vital carbon sink role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing though: even if we stopped burning all fossil fuels tomorrow, the way we farm would still put us on track for a climate future full of floods, fires and droughts. <a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/370\/6517\/705\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One study shows<\/a> that even without the cars, planes, ships and coal-fired factories, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would put us on track to over 1.5 degrees of warming since pre-industrial levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agriculture is currently New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter <\/h2>\n\n<p>But we know that changing how we farm could turn agriculture from being our biggest climate polluter into one of the best climate solutions. Across Aotearoa, there are farmers who are switching to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org.nz\/theregenerators\">regenerative organic farming<\/a>, which works with nature to rebuild soil, clean up waterways, bring back wildlife and store carbon as they grow great food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/1edfc797-gp01hrs_medium_res-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial photo of deforested Tahorakuri Forest area which Landcorp, a New Zealand government owned company,  is converting into large-scale intensive dairy farms.

Why isn\u2019t this part of the picture we\u2019re shown?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Polluting industries like intensive dairying and commercial fishing benefit from the widespread narrative that cars and planes (and individuals) cause the climate crisis. It means they can keep you feeling paralysed by guilt every time you jump in the car, and feeling like you\u2019re too much of a hypocrite to demand change. <strong>But we are our most powerful when we stand together to take action on the climate crisis.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>New Zealanders\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colmarbrunton.co.nz\/better-futures-reports-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">concern about the climate crisis dropped<\/a> over the past year. It\u2019s understandable when your landlord has just cranked your rent up and Covid has decimated job prospects. Buying an electric car is the last thing on anyone\u2019s mind. That\u2019s why we should be able to trust our elected officials to take on the worst climate polluters on our behalf.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Ardern\u2019s government must take meaningful climate action by banning bottom trawling that does so much damage to ocean life and the climate; reducing cow numbers and getting rid of the things that enable cows to be crammed onto the land \u2013 like synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. These are the real-world, tangible things that New Zealand can do to fight the climate crisis, and these would have an overwhelmingly bigger impact than anything you or I could do as individuals.<\/p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, both the commercial fishing and agricultural industries seem to have wooed the government into inaction. The commercial fishing industry\u2019s capture of its regulator, the Ministry for Primary Industries, has been a widespread and long-term concern for environmental groups and members of parliament.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2016, then Labour environment spokesperson (now minister for oceans and fisheries) David Parker called out the long term \u201cconnivance\u201d between MPI officials and the fishing industry and said questions about their capture were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/news\/national\/313540\/mpi-'captured'-by-fishing-industry-greenpeace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">valid<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>And decades of successive governments have failed to properly regulate industrial dairying, which has boomed since 1990. Instead of bringing in solid rules to cut climate pollution from dairying, time and time again, New Zealand\u2019s leaders have relied on voluntary agreements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2003, the government signed an agreement with Fonterra called the \u201cThe Dairying and Clean Streams Accord\u201d. It was supposed to protect water from dairy pollution and was used instead of actual regulation. Nearly two decades on and water pollution from intensive dairying is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n<p>Right now, the government is leaning heavily on a voluntary and non-binding climate agreement between agricultural businesses and the government, called He Waka Eke Noa. Even the Climate Change Commission \u2013 set up to advise the government on climate action \u2013 has indicated it can\u2019t recommend rules on agricultural emissions in case that preempts He Waka Eke Noa\u2019s failure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be this way. We\u2019re a country that\u2019s shown time and time again just what people power can achieve. In 2018, after more than a decade of campaigning by iwi, hap\u016b, coastal communities and more, the government heard the groundswell of voices and put an end to all new offshore oil drilling. Our elected representatives\u2019 mandate is to listen to the people when we say:<\/p>\n\n<p>We don\u2019t need more tepid voluntary agreements between government and polluting agribusinesses. We don\u2019t need more fishing industry executives in the ears of MPI. We demand our government \u2013 all those politicians paid to represent us \u2013 brings in real rules to cut climate pollution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We must pull back the curtain on New Zealand\u2019s real climate polluters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-grey-200-color has-green-500-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petition.act.greenpeace.org.nz\/oceans-bottomtrawling\">Join the call for a ban on bottom trawling<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the kinds of images you see time and time again on news specials about the climate crisis.
