CLIMATE CHANGE —
AGRICULTURAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
114. Hon TIM CLIFFORD to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I
refer to the member for Maylands' recent statement that red meat
production generates higher levels of greenhouse gas emissions than
plant-based alternatives, and the Premier's response, reported in The
West Australian , that he did not share Ms Baker's views about the
sustainability of meat.
(1) Does the
Premier believe that, contrary to peer-reviewed science, emissions from
agriculture are not a significant contributor to climate change?
(2) Could the
Premier please table any reports or advice he has received that has led him to
form this opinion?
