Seems to have invested a huge amount in an Australian start-up, formulating red seaweed food supplements to reduce the amount of gas given off. Did read a bit of research last year about this technology actually reducing bovine emissions. If you can't beat them - try to mitigate the effects !

I'm more interested why he was on Jeffrey Epstiens island so much

The only thing that creature does is try and increase his fortune.

Shutting his mouth might help.

Hmm, isn't he leaving it all to charity when his time comes?
So if he loses a sh!t load of money on dead ends it's not likely to depress him too much.
ie lab grown meat experiments that lost a small fortune!
The 'next best thing' are always a little elusive, he's lucky he got one thing right!

If it wasn't for his computer industries there be less effects of climate change to start with possibly?
Any figures over the years what that industry/company and products have emitted???

Plenty of hot air produced on here using them.

There is no problem with methane produced by ruminants.

He’s another one who effectively says “Hey you peasants and young people, I’ve done exactly what I like for most of my life, flying around the globe multiple times, wasting money on fuel and disposable crap. But you can’t do that these days. No. Because of countless people like me who have generally buggered up the planet, you’ve all got to pay. Soz…. Honestly “

To be honest, I just wish he'd just feck off, along with all the other WEF mob too

Where did it all begin ?
I mean, who first came up with the idea that 3/4 of the world's problems are caused by cattle ?
Who would seek to try and measure it, and for what reason ?
Did the 60 million bison in North America not produce methane ?
How did this silly idea gain so much traction, and in such a short space of time ?

Anyone who's business is based on fossil fuel has an interest in casting cattle as the bad guys. They have the money to buy the science showing what they want.

This it's just a matter of cash and marketing.

What percentage of methane emissions come from cattle, what %age from the fossil fuel industry and how much from wetlands and thawing permafrost?

Does anyone know?

No.

Any "calculated" figure is a semi educated guess at absolute best. And total propaganda at worst.

 

[Welderloon]

Does rotting vegetation not cause methane ?..................I bet there is more rotting vegetation in the world generating more methane than livestock generate
Do boggy swampy areas not create methane.............I bet there are greater areas of swamp land creating more methane than livestock generates
Do the vast hordes of people in the world not create methane? - I know there are far more people in the world than livestock
Sort out the above first............the world is needing a bit of a tidy up, then here would be more space for some decent cows
Bill Gates & the rest of his ilk need to give themselves a bloody good shake
Now if our Bill could create something that would reverse the global population numbers then he may be on to a winner.

Most probably the Dinosaurs knackered it to start with?
