The War on Cows Is Over—And Green Extremists Have Lost

For over a decade, environmental groups and green activists rallied against the cattle industry, citing methane emissions as a major contributor to climate change. The so-called "War on Cows" garnered widespread attention, with activists demanding a shift away from meat production, accusing cattle of playing a significant role in environmental destruction. However, a breakthrough in agricultural science has turned the tide in this ongoing debate, and many now claim that the war has come to an end, with environmental extremists on the losing side.


The argument is that cows just eat vegetables and fart....kinda like vegans.
I eat cows and fart.
 
The people opposed to cows- and eating cows- are generally a small number of extremist cranks. This is true. Yet their shrieks are loud in some quarters.
Well then, republicans know a thing or three about shrieking, they did it for the last four years.
 
I don't think the cows were ever a problem it's just one of those things that kind of defines well-off Nations is their ability to have cheap affordable meat. The reality is the crap you order from China does way more damage.

First it's made in China and they don't have any environmental regulations there. Then it's put on a ship and this is the single biggest emitter of CO2.

It's odd that many of the libruls in the man-made climate change cult are the same libruls screaming about Trump threatening tarrifs on major polluters like China.

It's because climate change is secondary. Really it's more of a way to scam people the trick them into buying crap.

So light bulb companies want to make more money so they create CFL light bulbs and don't sell too many of them so they come up some buddies in the government to make up some sort of environmental catastrophe that buying a ****ing light bulb will solve. And they trick everyone into buying these garbage light bulbs.

And that's the sum total purpose of the whole climate change thing.
 
Is this anything like the War on Christmas?

I love it when Fox has someone moaning about the war on christmas while they stand in a shopping mall that's covered in christmas decorations and has christian stuff all over the place.
I lack of self awareness while trying to make up a false narative is shocking.

There was a push to try and get people to eat bugs. Not like shrimp and crab but like crickets.
 
If by war on cows the OP means the government is trying to lightly ask people to eat less beef because it's extremely agriculturally expensive then yes, the government have been casually asking people to do that.
Maybe just take a casual glance at how much water and cattle food it takes to produce a pound of beef?

Cow farts were especially offensive to AOC

The government has absolutely no place doing that. It is our servant not our boss.

Government doesn't make water. If they don't want a seating beef they can politely and casually go **** themselves. They do what we tell them not the other way around. At least in the US.
 
Extremist cranks:

I agree with AOC on taking a look at greenhouse gas emissions from factory farming. Climate change is a problem. Agriculture is responsible for approx 10% - 12% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emisions (GHG) and livestock accounts for nearly 80% of agriculture's GHG. Agriculture accounts for approx half of all anthropogenic methane emissions. Methane is a particularly destructive greenhouse gas and contributes to warming of the planet.
So...yes we should reduce our overconsumption of meat. And considering the ill-health effects of factory farming on the American diet this is not an extreme viewpoint.

"...we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.

Eat less of whatever you want.

This is the problem with AOC and be ignorant City dwellers that have never worked on a farm a day in their life. The amount of CO2 and land usage and degradation of the soil growing crops for people to eat is far more devastating.

People 10,000 years ago went through painstaking processes figuring out how to cultivate livestock. They didn't do this just because they wanted to have a steak.

Also the alternative protein substitute insects, cost more to cultivate than caviar. So I think what has been working for 10,000 years is probably better than something cooked up in the brain dead mind of some bimbo freshman congresswoman.

Many of us, but not all, come to this board to Debate Politics. Name-calling reveals more about you than it does Ms. Cortez. And six years in Congress does not constitute freshman status.

That's not been my experience. Calling idiot politicians names is kind of par for the course is this your first day here?

And it's funny you completely ignored the comments I made to feel offended for someone you don't even know.

Cortez is a ****ing idiot and I'm not sorry.

Translation: "We should kill an entire industry, the economic benefits it brings & tell Americans what they can/cannot eat"

That would never fly in America.

I don't really think the end goal is environment protection.

If you look at the amount of land you have to use to grow plants for people to eat the amount of machinery you have to use to harvest it and the amount of degradation in the soil from a monoculture to help people 10,000 years ago understood that livestock was a better use and food source then growing plants.

The war on cows? Muhhh?

Are you all like insane?

no, not insane.

probably falls under the 'war on food'. the less food = less people; helps out with the 'war on people'.

for the de-population types, that is the End Game, they do whatever it takes. war, politics et al is fine with them; remember this is the End Times, so expect perilous times.


blessings.

So quit whining about me calling someone who's not involved in this at all names. Untwist your knickers and focus on the discussion.

AOC is an idiot and I'm not ever going to stop saying that, I'm not attacking you I'm not saying anything about anyone in the discussion. If you're triggered cry me a River build a bridge get the hell over it.
