[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 8429178, member: 1008"] I’d rather not assume the science is correct, as a livestock farmer I keep hearing the climate change experts banging on about how ruminant livestock are a major contributor to climate change and that eating less meat will help to save the planet. What a load of complete and utter Bollox. The methane expelled by ruminants will break back down into carbon dioxide over a relatively short timescale and was formed from the plants that those animals had ate , plants that had taken that carbon out of the atmosphere, it’s called a carbon cycle and is a relatively simple concept that anyone who claims to be an expert should thoroughly understand. Furthermore these ruminants have existed on this planet for as long as us humans, why does anyone believe that they are now suddenly a major problem, surely if they were a problem they’d have been a problem since the beginning of time and not only that, their numbers in this country have been diminishing all my life so again, how come they’re suddenly a major problem? Simples, they’re not, it’s all a load of Bollox…………and it’s relatively simple. So, if the experts can get something relatively simple completely wrong, why should I have any faith in anything else they say. For all I know everything they say is a load of Bollox. Why on earth should I assume the science is correct? Probably be a safer assumption to assume the science is wrong [/QUOTE]
