Burned to a crisp. \u00a0The occasional smattering of green forest, but an island suffering from its<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/business\/farming\/8405004\/North-Island-drought-worst-in-history\"> worst drought in 70 years<\/a>, as I\u2019d heard climate scientist Jim Salinger saying on the radio that morning.<\/p>\n<p>Next I\u2019m listening to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/business\/farming\/8406712\/Continued-drought-support-unsustainable-English\">Bill English saying<\/a> farmers can\u2019t expect get the same level of support in future droughts, if they continue to happen with more frequency, as<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niwa.co.nz\/sites\/default\/files\/slmacc_drought_sldr093_june2011.pdf\"> NIWA tells us<\/a> they will.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obviously bad. The Sunday Star Times tells us:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cexperts warn it could spell the end for farming as we know it and may cost the country billions of dollars in drought relief each year before practices are adjusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile John Key is in Brazil <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radionz.co.nz\/news\/political\/130197\/key-to-encourage-petrobras-return\">pleading with oil giant Petrobras<\/a> to come back, and an <a href=\"http:\/\/manu.org.nz\/2013\/03\/07\/overdue-petroleum-study-slated-by-councillors\/\">industry-written report<\/a> tells us we should <a href=\"http:\/\/tvnz.co.nz\/national-news\/report-east-coast-oil-and-gas-prospects-released-today-5362553\">drill all over the East Coast.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s taken quite some time for the words \u201cclimate change\u201d to enter the national conversation about this drought. \u00a0I spoke with NIWA\u2019s Brett Mullan last week and he had some very interesting points to make on the massive and very unusual highs that have been sitting over the country since early February. He\u2019d make a great interview, I thought, but he said no media had called him to even ask.<\/p>\n<p>Climatologist Dr James Renwick wrote an excellent<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/the-press\/opinion\/8397985\/Droughts-risk-rising\"> article in The Press<\/a>, but it\u2019s well away from those in the major drought area.<\/p>\n<p>Our agriculture-based economy is<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niwa.co.nz\/sites\/default\/files\/drought_in_a_changing_climate.pdf\"> going to feel this pinch<\/a> more than most in the decades to come. \u00a0Indeed the Government is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/business\/industries\/8411045\/Drought-raises-fear-of-return-to-recession\">already signalling<\/a> it may cause a return to recession. What worries me is that our agriculture is increasingly turning to intensive, water-hungry dairy farming, at a time when water scarcity is expected to rise.<\/p>\n<p>In 1981 there were 2.92 million dairy cows wandering our land. \u00a0By 2010 this had grown to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mfe.govt.nz\/environmental-reporting\/land\/use\/pastoral.html\"> nearly six million.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the last few weeks we\u2019ve seen farmer after dairy farmer on the news, having to dry off their herd early, buy in feed and sell cows off to the works as they can\u2019t sustain them.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many ironies in this story that it\u2019s difficult to know where to start.<\/p>\n<p>Federated Farmers and Fonterra fought tooth and nail to keep agriculture out of the Emissions Trading Scheme. \u00a0You know, that thing that was supposed to be New Zealand\u2019s response to climate change. \u00a0Except it doesn\u2019t, as our ETS is so weak it\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scoop.co.nz\/stories\/BU1207\/S00723\/carbon-news-forester-says-nz-now-has-claytons-ets.htm\"> pretty much dead in the water<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ETS would, apparently, have been too costly for farmers. \u00a0Because after all they have to deal with expensive things like \u2013 erm \u2013 dealing with drought. \u00a0Of which there will be more, caused by \u2013 erm \u2013 climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the extra feed they\u2019re buying is palm kernel, palm kernel that comes from Indonesian plantations on land that used to house peatlands and old growth forest, activities that add a massive chunk of carbon to our atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>So we don\u2019t act on climate change, and we are now only OECD country to have no specific 2020 target to cut emissions. \u00a0And our government is at the forefront of efforts to undermine progress at international climate talks. We\u2019ve turned our backs on Kyoto, and we\u2019re showing no signs of treating the need for a global climate agreement with the urgency the science is telling us it deserves, instead treating it like a set of trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>This is our worst drought in 70 years, but 2007\/8 was almost as bad. \u00a0Taking action to curb emissions, the government has argued, would cost the country, but did they factor in the cost of this drought, at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/business\/farming\/8393529\/Drought-could-cost-economy-1b\">$1 billion and ballooning<\/a>, or the last drought that <a href=\"http:\/\/tvnz.co.nz\/national-news\/drought-raises-fear-return-recession-5366282\">cost $2.8 billion<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile our dairy giant, Fonterra, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/business\/farming\/7759964\/Fonterra-plans-coal-mine\">wants to open a coal mine<\/a> to operate its milk powder factories. \u00a0\u00a0Coal, that stuff that causes climate change.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re not allowed to argue climate change when coal extraction is being considered. \u00a0Heaven forbid. Let\u2019s hope the Supreme Court will listen to the West Coast Environment Network\u2019s arguments this week as they battle Bathurst and Solid Energy in their bid to get the law changed.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I have sympathy for farmers at this terrible time. And of course I don\u2019t blame all farmers for the state of the Government\u2019s climate policy.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all in this climate change business together. \u00a0From my own fast-emptying water tanks to the farmers (and associated industries) suffering across the country, we need to turn to a new way of thinking, a new way of operating in this climate-changing world.<\/p>\n<p>If I were a farmer I\u2019d be screaming at the government to take leadership on all counts. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ftpmedia.niwa.co.nz\/climate\/last15daysrain.png?1234\">Maps like this<\/a> aren\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n<p>Our Government, for the sake of our farmers and all of our futures, needs to wake up, dump its short-term, fossil fuel-based thinking that holds up international action, and, indeed our economy.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of his myopic focus on coal mining, fracking, mining, offshore oil drilling \u2013 and indeed, carbon-intensive dairying, instead of kowtowing to the likes of Petrobras, \u00a0John Key could be leading our country towards real prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/en\/campaigns\/climate-change\/The-Future-is-Here\/\">recent Greenpeace report<\/a> has pointed out, we could be embracing a smart, clean, 21st century economy based on 100% renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable transport.<\/p>\n<p>All we need is some leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise we\u2019ll \u00a0all have to get used to this \u201cnew normal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Original post\" href=\"http:\/\/coalactionnetworkaotearoa.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/11\/getting-used-to-the-new-normal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Originally posted on Coal Action Network by Cindy Baxter.<br \/>\n<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Thanks to <a title=\"NIWA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.niwa.co.nz\/gallery\/wairarapadrought2013dsc1254creditdaveallenniwajpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIWA<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Stock struggling in hot, dry weather &#8211; Te ore ore Bideford Road, Wairarapa.
