As Fonterra reported that its interim profits are up by 50%, two Greenpeace climate activists have been arrested in a protest which turned Fonterra\u2019s Corporate HQ into a virtual flood zone.<\/p>\n\n

Flood-damaged furniture and personal effects were piled in front of the company\u2019s Auckland offices. The first-floor windows were covered with images that gave the impression that the building was underwater.<\/p>\n

Fonterra\u2019s interim profit reporting for 2023 released today means this could be the third year running that the dairy giant has made half a billion in profit. For the past two years it\u2019s also been named New Zealand\u2019s worst polluter.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhile many communities are carrying the cost of climate driven storms, Fonterra, New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter is reaping the profits,\u201d says Greenpeace Aotearoa climate campaigner Christine Rose.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace is calling on the Government to regulate the big dairy industry in order to protect the people of Aotearoa from flooding, storms and cyclones made worse by climate emissions.<\/p>\n\n

NIWA says human-induced climate change increased the rainfall during Cyclone Gabrielle by 20-30%. The study indicates that these types of storms are 3-4 times more likely because of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n

The big dairy industry sits outside the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) which is the Government\u2019s central climate management tool. Fonterra faces virtually no consequences for its rampant climate pollution.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace is calling for the government to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, which is a key enabler of intensive dairy farming. Greenpeace is also calling for the Government to support farmers to shift to more plant-based organic regenerative farming.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEveryone deserves to live in a flourishing environment with a safe and stable climate, but big dairy\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions are putting everything we know and love at risk,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
