In real terms it\u2019s far less than 50% and will be meaningless anyway until they stop kicking the milk can down the road and tackle agricultural emissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAgriculture is our biggest climate polluter but time after time, it has been given a free pass by this Government and successive governments before them. To reduce emissions we need to eliminate synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, and lower stock numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cJames Shaw is about to join world leaders at COP26 in Glasgow for the biggest political moment in the climate crisis since governments met in Paris six years ago. In a time of greatest need, the conference will be a test of leadership and a time for action, but Jacinda Ardern is sending her climate minister along with nothing more than a dairy-stained suitcase of hot air.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-16603 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action
