    So the cows are killing the planet now. Kill all cows. 
    Might be a new plan for the government to get more money in. Any one that farts get fined for destroying the ozone layer. 
    Mind you the politicians should pay double because shit comes out of both ends of them. 
    The cows help sustain our chosen way of life. That's on us. And it is easy to find alternatives to cow products if the will power exists to do so.

    That's the one, but I see the game's over now sadly.

    Back on subject, it's amazing how much traction and how easily some of this nonsense has evolved over the last 10 years.

    Putin and his troll farms and others have done an incredible job seeding a lot of this rubbish when it can be shown to be utter guff within seconds.

    We can laugh at it but sadly it has real world consequences.

    If no-one gets it, I'll post a clue at two.
    Was it a theme tune to something?

    Yes, PBS has already got it. Eye Level by The Simon Park Orchestra. It was the theme to the original Van Der Valk.  (to be read in the voice of Alan Partridge)

    Not saying I agree with the conspiracies. But do you not worry about the rise in cancer. Some of these chemicals their using can’t be good. 
    If I turned back the clock I wouldn’t have the covid jab. 
    Ever since I seem to pick up coughs and also sneezing fits. Which I never had before. 

    Really? That’s mental.

  • Not sure how much cows like the taste but feeding them seaweed can dramatically cut the methane cows produce.

    Is milk from cows fed Bovaer safe for us to drink?

    Milk from cows given Bovaer, a feed additive used to reduce methane emissions, is safe to drink. The additive is metabolised by the cows so does not pass into the milk.

    Bovaer, a brand name for the additive 3-Nitrooxypropanol or “3-NOP”, has undergone rigorous safety assessments as part of the FSA’s market authorisation process, and is approved for use in Great Britain. It has also been approved for use in other countries including in the EU, Australia, Canada and the US. 


    https://food.blog.gov.uk/2024/12/05/bovaer-cow-feed-additive-explained/

    If it reduces methane emissions it is fine by me.


    Reducing methane emissions is good but it might be a bit better if we just collectively reduced our consumption of cow products and reduced methane emissions AND the apparent need for swathes of rainforest to be cut down and land occupied at an unsustainable scale. 

    Agreed. Cow Methane emissions are a consequence of animal agriculture, this addictive therefore trying to cure a problem of our own making rather than preventing it by cutting out cow products from our lives.

    Yes I got covid.
    well the tests said I had it but no more than a normal cold/flu. 
    I’m afraid I’m getting less and less convinced by our leaders who seem to get worse and worse at lying to us. 
    I find it strange that people that want to save the planet on one hand then pump chemicals into animals on the other. I mean to stop cows farting it’s a joke right. 
    I believe we should be as with nature as much as we can. Not pumping chemicals into animals or on plants. 
    You telling me stopping cows farting is going to save the planet before opening a new runway at Heathrow. 

    Have you ever thought that perhaps your immunity to other viruses has been compromised by your Covid infection? How many times do you hear people say that they've had a cough/cold/chest infection that they can't shake off?  Covid is known to affect the body's ability to fight other infections.

    With regard to cows farting, it is a big problem and all the time we continue to use their products it will remain so.  This initiative which has been properly tested, is just another tool in the box to reduce methane emissions.

    How many times have we’re heard been properly tested.but then found out they weren’t
    what about thalidomide for example. 
    The Covid jabs weren’t properly tested. 

    … some people don’t even realise that they’ve been swallowed up by the conspiracy theory nonsense.

    "Culling the population" is not why a lot of people are objecting.
    They're objecting because it's another hubristic and dumb idea that fucks with the foodchain. 
    Except they’ve been developing it for years and it’s a major contributor to climate change.

    They're objecting because they are unable to critically assess anything themselves, nor read deep enough to understand anything. Instead they listen to fuckwits on X.

    Oh ok I’m an idiot. Yes I believe you the cows are killing the planet can’t believe we didn’t think of it till now.how stupid we are. Least we know how to save the planet now. We should all be safe now. Won’t need them expensive electric cars. 
    The effects of animal agriculture in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions isn't the joke you seem to think it is. What does the fact that this addictive has been created at all tell you about the significance of methane in contributing to heating the surface of the planet? I urge everyone to watch 'Cowspiracy' on Netflix, which it gives it due context.
  • Such a classic example of a Charlton life thread. Starts off about a chemical that could reduce methane coming from cow farts, goes on to number 1s that were instrumentals then about COVID jabs. Where to next...

    People have known for decades about the impact on the environment from cattle farming, including methane emissions. You may have only just found out.

    Cows piracy I’ve been told not to believe these conspiracies. Ha ha you couldn’t make this shit up.why are we all not having to take this drug to save the planet. We all fart don’t we.

    Humans produce about 1L of flatus a day, 7% of which is methane. Cows produce 250-500L per day. There's about 1.5 billion cows, meaning 120 million metric tonnes per year of methane emitted by cows. For humans it's more like 0.5 million metric tonnes per year. Methane's contribution to climate change is about 80 times more powerful than CO2, though the atmosphere breaks methane down into CO2 eventually anyway so still bad. There's also the fact that far less CO2 is being absorbed by forests because this ridiculous number of cows require somewhere to be and that involves massive deforestation. The cows aren't the whole problem, fossil fuel emissions and there just being too many humans is the main contributor but reducing the contribution of methane to climate change through cattle farming is one way to mitigate it
