Dublin wants to follow fellow farming powerhouse New Zealand in changing the way methane pollution from its many cows is factored into climate policy, a move scientists warn could exacerbate global warming.
Climate campaigners and scientists fear that adopting the new methane counting protocols which are also gaining ground in the US and Brazil would favour existing large emitters of the climate super-pollutant – and supercharge global warming.
“Yeah, but cows fart up the environments & they turn into burgers when they die!!!”
“…but we need the cars to buy the burgers because our ankles will break under the sheer weight of our mass!”
“Yeah, but without cars how will they get to the foods”?
Checkmate, libs!
