Other reasons include the increasingly sophisticated breeding of cows that emit less methane , and high health and nutrition standards compared to the global average.
All that may be true, I suggested, but climate change doesn't respect national boundaries. Whichever way you cut it, British farming is still part of a global industry that makes a significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and other negative environmental impacts.This ended up bringing us to his central concern; that the market doesn't financially reward producers who are trying to be more sustainable, which costs money and other competitive advantages.
In this complicated environment, will the consumer, British or otherwise, choose in enough numbers to buy a more sustainable product, produced to higher standards, even if it costs them more? Mr Roberts fears not. It is a horribly knotty set of problems that in my view will require significant and lasting government interference and regulation on a global scale. I say that because I don't think we can simply rely on individuals to sacrifice what's in their wallets to help the planet, not in big enough numbers anyway, and especially not in developing countries.
So here we are running about panicking about 'extinction' of man, however cattle and many animals are farmed by man for a purpose and that purpose is their only reason to be alive in the world. The ending of eating meat produce would result in their extinction!! Fair I think not
Boycott Brazilian beef!
Same as pollution in China, India is bad, big factories, energy plants that use coal is bad, old car's, cutting down what left of forests is bad, the list can go on and on don't just say cows are bad, because I will say go fuck your self.
Anyone scammed by all this scientific illiteracy, carbon tax money grab scam is simple-minded
