Thread: Why are most carbon footprint estimates for livestock products so massive? In short: because they are based on a faulty methane calculation. EAT Lancet, Starbucks, Impossible Burger etc are drastically overestimating GHG from livestock and here is why. /1

GHG’s correctly accounted. Fossil fuel extraction is the prime driver. Ignore the idealism green movement.

There are 6million cattle in Ireland. Brazil plans to increase its national herd by 24million cattle by 2030. Every cow we cull will be replaced by 4 in Brazil, and we'll end up importing that meat. This is all, every last bit of it, nonsense. independent.ie/opinion/editor…

Every farmer/ rural dweller on twitter should be following this page. Pure sense in what has become a senseless world for agriculture. Share and keep sharing give this lady the platform to bring all our concerns to the people who need to listen. It's in our own interests. Retweet

Facts Matter. Farming emissions remain largely unchanged since 1990s, Agricultural Science Association head says – The Irish Times irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

The man that has made a living from PR for big Pharma loves to have a go other industries but yet no-one questions the climate journalist on his industry?

Irish Farmers Journal The county with the most cows, the most derogation farms...has the best rivers. (Stunning when you consider the amount of raw sewage that still enters Cork's rivers) ..This blindsided style of governance is completly unacceptable, and irreversibly damaging..

Interesting when Elon Musk weighs in on the madness of the concept of Ireland culling cows ‘for climate’. People need to get real.

Dunmore East beaches were closed yesterday due to a sewage overflow. Nothing about it in media anywhere. If it was slurry overflow from cows causing the problem... Makes you wonder about all this EPA reporting.

Ambassador Tim Grosser of New Zealand references the recent stories of a 200k cow cull in Ireland as ‘utterly stupid’ & ‘madness’ to reduce output from the second most carbon efficient country on the planet. It would ‘rapidly increase carbon emissions’ as production would move.

Enough of this nonsense. The quality of the data provided by EPA Ireland is poor at best. In this thread you will find screenshots of a chapter from my new book (link also below) that asks whether we have any enforceable administrative standards in Ireland and the

Lets call out *misinformation* when it is in plain sight. Ireland ranks joint no 1 in drinking water quality on the planet. 👇💧 Hugely ironic and MEP engages in such false smearing of a sector the week in which her leader directly said that farmer bashing should not occur.

🐮On today's #WorldMilkDay remember the outstanding good our world class dairy delivers to every corner of Ireland 💰 Biggest native industry delivering €17.6b 👷80,000 quality jobs mostly outside cities 👩‍🌾Most importantly- built on outstanding work of over 18,000 farm families

Clover to milk with woodland in the background. Typical of Irish dairy farming and reason that we are the most Carbon efficient producers of dairy products not only in Europe but across the world

Like a fine wine. Harvest no. 20 for the CX760 cutting Cassia winter barley under blue skies this afternoon.

Not a very happy Monday for mother pheasant but it could have been worse.

I wouldn’t like to complain about dry weather during harvest but…..

Oil and Gas Methane emissions from just 1 oil production area of the globe, at 440 tonnes per hour, equals the methane production of 32 Billion Cows. There are only 1 Billion Cows on earth. And oil doesn't eat grass.
