Climate Science Shock: Methane's Unexpected Cooling Impact Unveiled

Impacts of potent greenhouse gas: a bit lower than previously thought. UC Riverside researchers found that methane not only traps heat in the atmosphere but also creates cooling clouds that offset 30% of the heat. Methane's absorption of shortwave energy counterintuitively causes a cooling effect a

I watched both of @DaveGrohl 's video and part 2 got me thinking about the methane pause.

So I was thinking what did we do in the 90's that could have caused the pause.

Well we banned CFC's that were harming the ozone layer.

Well it appears that the solvent 111trichloroethane not only reacts with Ozone , it also reacts with Methane.

Interesting article, on the benefits for health of meat eating, this in my opinion answers or counters all the "scientific" arguments of meat free lobby. It doesn't answer the anthropomorphic argument or Disneyfication of animals, but that is another matter.

The role of meat in the human diet: evolutionary aspects and nutritional value

Historically and from an evolutionary perspective, meat has been cherished by human communities as a nutritious and highly symbolic food, against a 3-milli

FAO says 86% of livestock diet is inedible to humans

FAO sets the record straight–86% of livestock feed is inedible by humans

FAO has set the record straight regarding not just the level of greenhouse gas that livestock emit (see yesterday's posting on this blog) but also incorrect information about how much food (crops eatable by humans) livestock consume, the regular reporting of which is commonly used to bolster...

Article on some of the more “interesting” ingredients in so called plant based meat alternatives

Six ingredients that take the plant out of "plant-based" - Clean Food Facts

Chances are you’ve heard of plant-based meat. The products have taken grocery stores and fast food chains by storm. But despite being called “plant-based”, these foods really aren’t the best choice for your body. Just look at the ingredients in The Beyond Burger, one of the most popular...

Kept animals of all types are largely fed on a variety of rubbish that humans would never eat until they find themselves starving. I recall pigs in the UK being fed with Pulverized Pudding that had been collected around the streets from pig bins filled with waste foods.

Measuring carbon footprint based on quality protein content cuts meat and dairy carbon footprint by half, from rothamstead.

Simple Protein Measures Not Enough for Accurate Environmental Footprints, Says Rothamsted

New research shows relying solely on protein quantity underestimates environmental impact. Learn why considering digestibility is crucial.

This thread is being opened after much thought by a group of your fellow TFF members. I think you will all agree that this resource is very much needed. I am sure, like us, you find that on a daily basis you read and hear falsehoods from the media, organisations, Government quangos, etc. At times I guess you hear something and scream to yourself that cannot be left unchallenged. My own personal opinion is that agriculture (in particular) Livestock is facing a challenge against us that we must fight back, and the time being now. Even though, if like me, you have the thought in your head that your little stand up for Agriculture is small and it feels insignificant, joined together it becomes something. What we have here is not necessary the best way to display material for farmers to use but is a starting point which can improve if members feel it has value, i.e. if enough members feels that it's a good idea, we can ask for it to become a sticky thread/or a separate resource on the home page of the forum. With this in mind I have set up a poll asking the question, whether this resource has value and whether you feel it should become a more readily available resource in its own right.
There is an important rule that we ask you PLEASE to follow otherwise the thread will fail. The rule is please no chitchat or discussions, only content which you feel can help and be used by others in the defence of Agriculture.
I am going to start up Part 2 of this being another thread for people to discuss what's being said in part 1, Please please use it as this.
I have put a few bits on just to make a start, other members are going to post material in due course.
Thank you all

Found this on Country Squire, not sure if you'd class this as helpful or not...https://countrysquire.co.uk/2023/05/24/farmer/ certainly uplifting and we all need a bit of that occasionally.

Here’s a nice link clearly explaining how GWP100 is nonsense when it comes to methane and livestock and how we should use GWP* to measure greenhouse gases. It also clearly explains the carbon cycle and how livestock are part of it and cannot be blamed for global warming because they are part of it

GWP* — a better way of measuring methane and how it impacts global temperatures

Mitloehner lab Ph.D. student Alice Rocha, M.S. explains why GWP* better measures the short-lived nature of methane in the atmosphere and why it is important to measure methane correctly.

Erm. Trees are water pumps. The bigger the tree, the more water is pumped into the troposphere that forms clouds and later causes snow and rain to fall. Cutting them down is insane.

He didn't cut them down. He laid them. Anyway it's a no comment thread .

Nice work they have done, hedges well fenced , they now useful stock fields.
The sort of been doing here for 45 yrs give or take a few.

only a pity he didn't remark on the lasting ability of woodwork they used in the fencing and how reuse of CCA treatment would save an awful lot of Carbon release.
but yes good little video, no doubt about that.

Does The Journal need to 'factcheck' themselves?

Like many people in Ireland, I’m increasingly disappointed and sometimes downright furious about the quality of journalism from a number of sources and outlets. A recent ‘factcheck’ article from online news media ‘The Journal’ meets the latter criteria. They ‘debunked’ claims that cows are not...
