calfoxwc Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 now, dammit, I used to have two young calves in 4H. A Holstein and Guernsey. and the climate never changed. But the mountain lion episode changed me a bit. I started taking my shotgun with me to put them back in their shed. Not once did they ever fart or burp. So that's that. "man made goober warning" is a crock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccjwh Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 More than 800m trees have been cut down in the Amazon rainforest in just six years to feed the world’s appetite for Brazilian beef, according to a new investigation, despite dire warnings about the forest’s importance in fighting the climate crisis. A data-driven investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), the Guardian, Repórter Brasil and Forbidden Stories shows systematic and vast forest loss linked to cattle farming.

Jax Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Doesn't mean cattle are tied to climate change, it means they are using the wrong suppliers that are connected to deforestation, but their primary reason for destroying the rain forest isn't for cattle. In any case, I suppose you don't eat any meat then? Gotta earn your carbon credits like a good boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 https://theconversation.com/the-great-amazon-land-grab-how-brazils-government-is-clearing-the-way-for-deforestation-173416 Large deforestation patches indicate the presence of wealthy grabbers, given the cost of clearing land. Land grabbers benefit by selling the on-site timber and by subdividing what they’ve grabbed for sale in small parcels. Arrest records and research by groups such as Transparency International Brasil show that many of them are involved in criminal enterprises that use the land for money laundering, tax evasion and illegal mining and logging. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-55130304 Scientists say it has suffered losses at an accelerated rate since Jair Bolsonaro took office in January 2019. The Brazilian president has encouraged agriculture and mining activities in the world's largest rainforest. In response to what Cal posted, you thought a quote about deforestation for cattle was the issue when in fact it's the gov't and wealthy land grabbers.
