[QUOTE="Raider112, post: 7814618, member: 37326"] Well we need to cut out the middle man. It's time for a big publicity campaign that nobody can ignore. Forget the old outdated workings that say livestock is responsible for 5% of emissions, we need full page adverts, we need press conferences, whatever it takes to get the message out that methane is now recognised by the IPCC as being a short lived gas that lasts 12 years, not 100 years and MUST be calculated as such. That grassland can be as effective as trees at sequestering carbon and that MUST be removed from the grazing animal's footprint. That 40% of the carcase isn't eaten and has dozens of uses that would otherwise need synthetic products which MUST be allowed in the reckoning. Add on the fertiliser provided by livestock that would be replaced by artificial ferts and livestock could well be carbon positive. Whatever it costs it has to be done as soon as possible and as boldly as we can possibly make it, we need everyone to be aware of the negligible impact of meat so that there is a backlash against any suggestion of a tax. Over to you the NFU and the levy chargers. [/QUOTE]
