It's been disappointing to say the least about how slow it's been for real science to assert itself over the flood of nonsense the climate change lobby has been producing but finally, we're getting pushback.

Today's subject is about the left's war on meat:

https://co2coalition.org/publications/livestock-me...

Methane emissions by livestock have a negligible effect on Earth’s temperature. For example, killing all of the approximately 1.6 billion cattle on Earth in the year 2025, when this paper was written, would only reduce atmospheric methane concentrations enough to change the temperature by ΔT = −0.04 C. Killing all 1.3 billion sheep would lead to a temperature change of ΔT = −0.004 C. New Zealand’s pledge to reduce methane emissions of their livestock by 14% to 24% from those in the year 2017 would change the temperature by ΔT = −0.000005 to − 0.000008 C, far too small to measure. These are maximum temperature savings where methane emissions from domestic livestock are not replaced by other sources (such as wild ruminants and termites) during the inevitable rewilding of managed grasslands and rangelands.

So yeah. Fire up your grill and enjoy a steak. You're not killing the planet.
