The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

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:

co2coalition.org - Livestock methane and climate

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.
