Methane madness: How exaggerated climate claims are targeting farmers and cows
Governments worldwide are imposing strict regulations on farmers to reduce methane emissions from livestock, using supplements like Bovaer. A study from the CO2 Coalition argues that methane’s warming potential is negligible compared to CO2. Methane concentrations are increasing 300 times slower than CO2, and its warming effect is minimal due to saturation at higher concentrations. […]
