Letter to the Editor from Colin M
2/2/11
Dear Sir,
Please print the following letter. Thank you.
Further to my comments under the article “ Meat sector review ‘on the right track‘”,(Straight Furrow Feb 2nd ) I mentioned in my concerns to the meeting the effect the Governments Emissions Trading Scheme could have on many facets of life including the farming industry.
It is of concern to me that so much money is going into projects such as the Red Meat Strategy and the NZ AgriculturalGreenhouse Gas Centre while the proposed Emissions Trading scheme ignores basic 3rd form science as the website’s of Pastoral Farming Climate Research at www.farmcarbon.co.nz and www.climaterealists.org.nz show.
With reference to the proposals regarding livestock identification Colin Riden’s comments on the article by Tony Chaston at 24/1/11 at 11.28am on the website of interest.co.nz 25/1/11 at 12.51 pm, regarding the pending NAIT introduction should cause some further debate on this issue.
