The physics and chemistry were given a huge push under Julius Vogel's government, to strip the land of old established bush and to plant exotic grasses even in areas that were incompatible with their root systems' tenuous hold on the earth. The New Zealand arable-based economy served our population well while we were ignorant of the effects of such a major and sudden change to the landscape. Trying to reproduce England on a small isolated group of temperate islands. Everyone benefited and the NZ lifestyle was rather good for several generations. Until the strain on the planet started to become evident. So we did it, we must undo it. And yes, science doesn't have a political bone in its body. Science doesn't understand democracy, lobbying, entrenched behaviour, ignorance and it especially doesn't understand greed.
