One of the real shockers in climate change madness is the proposal by the Irish government to reduce cow herds by 10 percent over the next three years, all to meet the illusory EU climate change targets. It does not end there as Ireland is committed to a 25 percent reduction in carbon emissions from farming by 2030. However, rather than reducing carbon emissions, culling the land of farm animals is likely to have exactly the opposite effects, with desertification, weed growth, and other degradations, as cows serve the important purposes of:
- Graze on plants, exposing the plants’ growth points to sunlight, which stimulates growth
- Trample the soil, which breaks capped earth allowing for aeration
- Press seeds into the soil with their hooves, thereby increasing the chances of germination and diversity of plants
- Press down dying and decaying grasses, allowing microorganisms in the soil to go to work to decompose the plant material
- Fertilize the soil with their waste
Most important of all, these animals supply food to people, at time when the world is facing mounting food shortages. As detailed by Dr Mercola, the issue is not eliminating forming but making it ecologically more sensible and efficient, all of which can be done through numerous reforms, none of which will involve, “killing cows.”
