National's watering down of methane limits has rightly attracted international condemnation for its ignorance and its complete disregard of climate change.

Naturally farmers are ecstatic that their right to pollute for another 25 years has been preserved. Sure, the climate is getting wilder and that might lead to an extinction event, one day. But short-term profits are more important. Right?

Wrong.

Today's ODT editorial describes National's dirty moves as "a loss for sensible policy making." On a positive note, they suggest this bad legislation is unlikely to survive a change of government.

Today's ODT editorial is entitled "Dim energy announcement" and it's a good one, critical of the Luxon government's backwards leap towards fossil fuels and their inability to come up with any viable plan.

"When it finally arrived, the government’s big announcement on the energy sector had all the oomph of a low-watt bulb."
