Ireland has announced plans to cull hundreds of thousands of cows to comply with European Union climate policy. Similar initiatives in Belgium and the Netherlands ensure that beef prices will rise, but these proposals offer little environmental benefit. Indeed, cows are the heroes, not the villains, in rescuing the climate.
Ireland's push to eliminate 200,000 cows demonstrates the persistent folly of climate alarmism, while contrasting the shortcomings of renewable energy products. The fundamental premise of the targeting of benevolent bovines is faulty: that cow burps cause damage to the environment. Interestingly, the alternatives propounded — for humans to obtain protein instead from insects, or soy-based synthetic meat substitutes — will profit industries who are key partners in the globalist effort to eradicate cows.
The attacks on cows are premised on data for beef and dairy cows managed in Concentrated Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs), in which the animals are fed a diet rich in grains. Manure is collected in lagoons or massive piles that must then be spread back onto the fields. It is the fossil fuels and chemicals involved in producing grains and other feed, and moving them (and the resultant manure) mechanically, that creates the lion's share of cow pollution.
But cows raised on pasture, and rotated regularly, do not depend on GMO grains for their food, nor on diesel-powered equipment to discharge their fecal byproducts. More, their manure then replaces synthetic fertilizers, including urea manufactured from natural gas.
That fake meat that Bill Gates wants Americans to eat in place of cows is made from soy and other plant inputs. GMO soy and corn are produced using massive quantities of synthetic fertilizers, Round-Up and other herbicides, fossil fuels for tractors and harvesters, and more fuel to process and transport the food for human consumption.

The greatest mistake is letting these people get into positions where they can put their idiotic ideas into action.
Do you want famines, because that is how you get famines.
Didn’t think the Irish were that stupid. Too much Guiness I guess.
I guess the dipschitz didn’t learn anything from the potato famine.
During the Famine, all the beef was shipped to England. They had plenty of cows, they just weren’t meant for the Irish.
we are getting REAL close
1). there is room in my freezer so send me some
2). no country should sell them milk, beef, or any dairy products. If they want to live without cows they don’t get to virtue signal then buy stuff from someone else
Apparently the Potato Famine killed all of the bright Irish. They are voluntarily signing up for starvation and genocide.
Now that beef has been shown to be about the HEALTHIEST food that humans can eat, its production is being shut down.
Hopefully, some of you guys can now understand what their plans are...
The Irish were never known for their brains.
The new “Soupism”.
It is as if this was being coordinated all over the world.
First the cows, then the useless eaters.
Bailey’s Irish Soy Milk doesn’t have a very good ring to it.
Stop the insanity; I want to get off
Do these climate activists in positions of power really believe that their holocaust will be accepted by their god?
What will be their plan when the cliamate has zero change?
The only change will be famine and higher prices.
How and why did the leaders of Ireland let this happen?
These destructive leaders are ignoring the science of climate change. Instead they are making it up.
And here’s how you know the PETA is a communist organization...
They’re silent on this.
The thing is, when the Revolution does come, the climate activists will be first against the wall. They serve as nothing more than useful idiots.
Green Famine?
Must have forgotten their history or they'd be out in the streets.
