Do we need to eat less meat? or just eat less beef? Or just eat less ruminants.

@someguy2135 8 месяцев назад

@@currysues Good question! If you don't go vegan, the most effective way to be a "flexitarian" aka "reducitarian" for the environment is to boycott beef and dairy. On the other hand, going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he explained, which would only reduce greenhouse gas. Avoiding consumption of animal products delivers far better environmental benefits than trying to purchase sustainable meat and dairy,” he added.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford.

It's for generally for the iron, calcium, salts, and protein. Many herbivores are known to do this on occasion and on opportunity. Cows, deer, elk, chimps. Gorillas, and many more. They're very easy ways to get those and other nutrients. Especially salts and iron. Remember that stuff isn't so common in the wild unless you eat meat. And not all natural water sources have a high enough calcium and iron in it to prevent a deficiency from happening in all animals. (Hard water is horrible for your plumbing but actually very good for you. Same with the sulfur in it as well.) Salts are an essential electrolyte for just about all animals. You'll fide pretty quick if you eliminated 100% salt from your diet. (The problem is having too many added salts, but they're finding it might not be as bad as we first thought.)

Not only what Dropkick said, but the number of buffalo at their height was less than a third of the cattle we have _in stockyards, in the continental US alone._ The vastly different numbers, the vastly different ecosystems (we don't _have_ those tallgrass prairies any more), and the vastly different biologies of the two critters all need to be in the equation. They simply weren't anywhere near as bad for the atmosphere as the cattle are, now. Plus the fact that we already, not even counting the cattle, pump an unimaginably large amount of methane into the air in other ways, too, so what the cattle do are amplified by what else we are doing, while the bison weren't competing against humans for worst worldwide polluter back then.

You could substitute hydrogen sulfide producers for the methane producers. Hydrogen sulfide isn't a green house gas. There are some problems with it though. For one thing it will react with ozone - so you end up with pollution and a damaged ozone layer. The other problem is that those cow are going to be oh so stanky. The best thing to do is let them produce methane as much as they want - but collect it. If you mess with your cows' biome, you'll just make them sick. Just invent a methane collector and fasten it to them. They'll get used to it. And methane is just about the same as natural gas.

I'm a dairy cow nutritionist and the methane story is terribly incomplete. Methane is a green house gas, yes, but it only stays in the environment for 10 years compared to CO2 that stays for over 100 years. Dairy farmers have been breeding cows for efficiency for years and our national herd size has decreased from 100 million in the early 1900s to only 9 million. So the methane contribution from dairy cows has already decreased by over 90% and we are producing more milk and meat! While, the CO2 produced from the first cars is still in the atmosphere... There has also been great technology invented to capture the methane gasses from cow manure and convert it to energy for dairy farms. There are some dairies that have completely converted to this bio-fuel and no longer using any fossil fuels for vehicles and facilities. This further reduces the methane contribution of the national dairy herd! For more information I would recommend reading articles by Dr. Mitloehner from UC Davis that studies green house gasses

How interesting, thank you

@htopherollem649 Год назад

just curious but how much methane is released from abandoned oil wells? I would wager that it was a larger amount than that released by cows

@Epicdps Год назад

Don't forget about methane produced by waste from chicken and pig farming, it's not just cows. Cesspools of animal feces just sitting around everywhere around the world

@@htopherollem649 how about ALL of them are relevant? Because they are. ALL. Relevant. If your roof leaks in 4 or 5 spots, why call in the roofer to only repair one or maybe two of them? Edited to add, what you would "wager..." what citations do you have to back up that wager? 🤔 The fact is that we don't have nearly a billion abandoned oil wells that are belching out methane all day and night, every day, like we do cattle _just in the continental US alone._

Meanwhile, millions of bison roamed North America for centuries and no one complained.

@Jabberwockybird Год назад

This. The climate change becuase of cows thing is so stupid.

@Hi_Im_Akward Год назад

The problem is how we farm them. Bison were part of the ecosystem. Farming practices completely disrupt this. So any emissions farmed cows produce effect the environment, while bison, apart of the ecosystem, would have their carbon and methane emissions cycling through the ecosystem and feeding microbiomes.

@rickverhoef4688 Год назад

@@Hi_Im_Akward other then the farming practices. The forage (grass, alfalfa, corn ect.) is still harvested off the field fed to the cows and then the manure spread back on the field. Not the same cycle but basically very similar to what happened back then.

They're bred for meat in certain parts of Kansas and Oklahoma these days. It's good meat.

There happens to be a giant cluster of seaweed in the southern atlantic that needs disposed... And cows that eat seaweed are more green... two problems fixed at once?

Brittany, France has major problems with seaweed washing up on shore, rotting and the H2S given off has killed in the past…. So harvest that instead and take care of 2 birds (cows?) with one stone?!
