Either Way, It Costs Us, And Not Just In Money...

According to the Government’s Net Zero Growth Plan, released this week, dairy cows will soon be fed supplements to reduce the amount of methane they expel through belching and breaking wind.
The methane suppressants contain additives like seaweeds, essential oils, organic acids, probiotics and antimicrobials that reduce the amount of gas produced by digestion.

No, it's not a late April Fool. It's real, and we are the fools for electing a 'conservative' government that proposes it... 

The plans are expected to add around 33p a year to the cost of milk for the average consumer but ministers could also choose to subsidise the superfood feed.

With our money. Of course.

CO2 as an excuse to ban cars. Methane as an excuse to ban meat and dairy.

I believe the most potent "greenhouse gas" is water vapour so exhaling no doubt will soon be a target.

But as their shit doesn't stink, I assume their breath doesn't contain any water vapour either.

This is all the result of the UN Church of Climatology and the WEF new world order in which we will live in 10 minute cities have nothing and be happy while our lords and masters live in luxury on large estates and are driven around in large cars while the surfs have to walk everywhere.

The earth climate has been changing ever since the earth had a climate. That big glowing ball in the sky and the earth's distance from it determines what the climate will be. There is nothing we can do to change that unless some idiots try to screen it out in which the earth would rapidly become an ice covered ball devoid of all life.

Can't this be tried out on politicians first?

It's enough to make you consider cutting it off entirely, isn't it?

Spot on!
