RE: Climate Change Alert: Cow farts, actually burps, are more of a problem than was originally thought!

in #cowfarts7 years ago

according to this article, the amount emitted by plants is still a bit controversial, this team was researching it in 2009
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2009/01/methane-emissions-dont-blame-plants
and according to this update in 2014 they still have not quite been able to prove the link except in fungi. But they have not shown yet how it works or how much is released by trees.

Maybe in a few more years they will have an update like the one they just published about cows. Or do you think this is a concerted plot against the dairy industry?

Thank you, watching Iavr Giaver's speech now. The global debate on this issue reminds me of the "Introspection Illusion" introduced by Rolf Dobelli. http://meaningring.com/2016/05/08/introspection-illusion-by-rolf-dobelli/) - everyone considers their own conviction to be more valid. I think the the truth is out there, objectively, somewhere.

No you did not come across as dogmatic, was hoping I did not either. It is just interesting trying to take a neutral view of what has become a very dogmatic issue.
