    New Zealand had passed a similar law due to take effect in 2025. However, the legislation was removed from the statute book on Wednesday after hefty criticism from farmers and a change of government at the 2023 election from a center-left ruling bloc to a center-right one. New Zealand said it would exclude agriculture from its emissions trading scheme in favor of exploring other ways to reduce methane.

    Fucking farmers.

    Good on Denmark!

      Wait, WTF does “removed from the statute block” mean? Did they pass a new law repealing the old one, or did the new government just say “nah” and cross it out without a legislative vote?
