Three years ago, North Dumas Farms was an empty field near the northern edge of the Texas Panhandle. Today it is a massive dairy operation—and one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the state. The dairy is permitted to hold up to 72,500 cows, whose burps and manure would produce an estimated 13,096 metric […]
So if we’re taking “natural environmental carbon” and turning it into methane - how is that better??
Trees take carbon out of the atmosphere = natural
Taking an empty field (carbon sink), mass farming cows with a gas-rich diet and not sequestering the methane produced by digestion/waste (methane production) = natural? (and carbon neutral?!)
You’re out to lunch with that opinion my guy. Provide some actual sources aside from a misunderstanding of how the carbon cycle works please.

Because it’s near impossible to convert enough methane through cows to create a catastrophic temperature change on the whole planet. It’s not like fossil fuels with a cumulative effect.
“this isn’t the sole source of a major problem, and won’t singularly bring about catastrophe. So let’s ignore it entirely, even though there are very simple means to prevent it from happening. it upsets the oligarchy because it’s fatter profits to do nothing.”

Again. With the stupidest of arguments.

You are an idiot.
