[B]Radical new climate change commitments will set the UK on course to cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2035, Boris Johnson will announce this week. Hitting the targets would require more electric cars, low-carbon heating, renewable electricity [SIZE=5]and, for many, cutting down on meat and dairy.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]…………….[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4][SIZE=4]Believe me, they are serious about pushing farmers out of ruminant [/SIZE][/SIZE]animal production and changing consumer habits. This is going to happen in a shorter time frame than most farmers appreciate and is being officially brought forward rather than being delayed. The targets may not be met, but that is not the point. The point being is that these anti-ruminant [beef sheep and milk] pressures are real and being actively pursued, and they will be facilitated by attrition.
