For so long, we have tiptoed around big meat and dairy companies and their unfettered growth as if they are somehow exempt from making the drastic changes required of everyone else on this planet.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always either the farmer or the consumer who has to change, while these companies decide what farmers grow, what they are paid and what we eat. We have shown that the pathway is clear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Greenpeace Aotearoa agriculture campaigner Sin\u00e9ad Deighton-O\u2019Flynn says,<\/strong> \u201cThis morning\u2019s action put Fonterra in the spotlight ast New Zealand\u2019s worst climate polluter. They are cooking the climate with methane gas produced by their oversized dairy herd, and for decades they have avoided any accountability for their climate pollution.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFonterra and the Meat and Dairy industry have repeatedly been exposed for greenwash and false claims regarding their climate commitments, and the new report by Greenpeace highlights this.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Globally, livestock is the single biggest driver of methane emissions. Methane, a superheating greenhouse gas, is much more potent than gases like carbon dioxide, but is relatively short lived. The report shows that rapidly cutting methane emissions by 45% by 2030 would have an immediate impact in slowing down temperature rise, averting nearly 0.3\u00b0C of global warming by 2045.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe know many New Zealanders are concerned about climate change, but what this report does show is that there is in fact a reason for hope. If we can cut methane emissions from the meat and dairy industries, and keep them down, we can avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis,\u201d says Deighton-O\u2019Flynn.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cFonterra, as New Zealand\u2019s worst climate polluter, has a key role to play in this. They could stand on the right side of history, end their use of rainforest-destroying palm kernel, phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, and decrease the number of cows on farms.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cGreenpeace isn\u2019t the only one demanding this &#8211; global consumers of meat and dairy are calling for meaningful climate action, including Fonterra\u2019s corporate customers. If Fonterra don\u2019t take action to cut their climate pollution, they will be left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Greenpeace report called Turning Down the Heat reveals that methane emissions of 29 meat and dairy companies rival those of the world\u2019s 100 largest methane\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":114,"featured_media":66587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[16,19],"p4-page-type":[7],"class_list":["post-66603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-greenpeace","tag-climate","tag-food-and-farming","p4-page-type-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>As Greenpeace activists scale Fonterra factory, a new investigation reveals meat &amp;
