The Reducing Enteric Methane Emissions from Beef Cattle proposal would grant farmers who reduce methane emissions generated by cow burps to earn credits that can be sold to other businesses to meet their own emission targets. Each credit would represent a metric tonne of emissions and would be met by improving diets, management and using other strategies to support “more efficient animal growth,” Environment and Climate Change Canada said in a release. The initiative, announced during COP28 currently happening in Dubai, is the latest introduced by Canada during the climate conference, including last week’s proposed emissions cap on the country’s important oil and gas sector. About 10% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are from crop and livestock production, excluding emissions from the use of fossil fuels or from fertilizer production.

CdnFox Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Posted December 11, 2023 I honestly thought this had to be a headline from the Onion satire news paper but nope - we are taking firm action against cow burps specifically. "excuse me" ain't gonna cut it anymore, Bessy! This will of course drive up the cost of meat, as if it weren't high enough. I think we're seeing the final form of trudeau's carbon plan - if we all starve to death emissions will go down dramatically.

Army Guy Posted December 21, 2023 Report Posted December 21, 2023 hey i heard grasshopper are suppose to taste pretty good....and meal worms, are suppose to bring on a whole new outlook to climate change.... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
