[QUOTE="egbert, post: 8249731, member: 9965"] and there it is in a nutshell. Here's my perspective Philippa. (hill farmer in wrong area) Grazing natural unfertilised grassland with livestock - mimicking natural systems- must be as close to sustainable as a food production system can be. And given that the methane (hydrogen and carbon) ruminants burp is very evidently made solely of grass and water, which are both part of a [B]short pre-existing natural cycle[/B], you'll find pretty much every damned one of us is utterly dismissive of the concept that the coos and yows are to blame. To put it in perspective, bear in mind hydro-carbon releases from fossil fuels have previously been locked away 350 millions years. Think on that number young lady. The concept of blaming our livestock seems to have really taken hold as one of the conscience salving, 'get out of jail free' cards for a fossil fuel dependant urban society. Many of us understand this, and regard proponents in an accordingly poor view. Good luck coming to terms with it. [/QUOTE]
