As someone who has studied environmental science, I am so tired of hearing that cow farts are causing climate change.

The public are misinformed because they are fed their “science” from news headlines.

Here are some facts based on real science.

Greenhouse gases are:

Carbon dioxide released during plowing, cutting trees and burning fossil fuels
Methane mostly from rice farming and cow belches (not farts – yes, I’m nitpicking)
Nitrous oxide from fertilisers
Because of the amount of heat each of these gases trap and the length of time each stays in the atmosphere, these can be measured in terms of greenhouse warming potential.

One of the first things we learn in environmental science is the carbon cycle.

Above, I acknowledged that cow belches emit methane. Methane contains carbon and is part of a natural carbon cycle – think about how many buffalo used to roam the plains.

Notice the word “cycle”. Cattle transform existing carbon from grass into methane as part of their digestive process. After about 10 years, the methane is broken down into water and carbon dioxide, which then get taken up by more grass to continue the cycle. This is how nature works!

On the other hand, fossil fuels come from ancient carbon that has been locked underground for millions of years and should stay there. When this carbon is released into the atmosphere, it stays for thousands of years.

Studies show that atmospheric methane has levelled off, even though the number of cattle has increased!

The plant-based industry want you to believe that 18%–51% of greenhouse emissions is due to cattle. It is not! The EPA states that it is 2%. All livestock is only 3.9%. Compare this with crops 4.7%, industry 21.6%, electricity 28.4% and transportation 28.5%.

You can find all the science that backs this up in Sacred Cow, by Diana Rodgers (@SustainableDish ) and Robb Wolf (@robbwolf), as well as a whole lot more detail. If you read the book, you will also learn how cattle can actually benefit the environment! The book also addresses ethics and nutrition.

It’s time we stop blaming meat for what fossil fuels are doing, don’t you think?

Well the secrets out! We have a Twitter page! 2021 saw the creation of Moss wood growers! What started as a mad idea became reality!

Busy packing Goldfield Bakers this afternoon! Sure beats stacking them by hand! @NationwidePlc

[Liam Cupit @LiamCupit]

There goes more peat topsoil! Why isn’t more being done to prevent this? All high value crop ground left bare to blow and wash away is madness #soilerosion #farming

@DaveThroupEA Recon the EA needs a visit as it’s there fault lands flooding and eroding

[Olly harrison 🥛🍔🌱AccidentalYoutuber @agricontract]

The cheek of this guy 😡
The @EnvAgency used to be called the national rivers authority and used to dredge water ways now they neglect them

The country’s flooding and this muppet is trying to have a go at a farmer who has clearly sown this field the correct way 🤦‍♂️

[Dyson Farming @DysonFarming]

The new strawberry production facility at Beeswax Dyson will be able to produce 750 tonnes of strawberries at any one time. 🍓

We will see the first crop planted in just over one week. Well done to everyone involved! 👏

There goes the top soil in west Lancashire 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ soil management seriously needs to be addressed around here! #farming #duststorm #2020farming
