FARTS & BOMBS

Oh dear I am really digging deep now. Digesting as it were. Fermenting even. I have been ruminating on some information that is quite frankly an emperors new clothes moment.
 
I was wandering through the ChatGBT app to explore emissions in the organic sector and strayed into the livestock emissions. Dear oh dear. How dreadful are all those cow farts! The emission numbers are high…but I wanted to quantify how high as compared to something else. It puts things in perspective you see. So I thought, I know…I’ll compare it to the emissions from bombs. Afterall we hear about all the rockets and missiles and bombs every day in the news.
 
What a surprise to find this out and I am quoting Chat GBT here. “ Military emissions are largely excluded from national climate reporting ( eg Kyoto, Paris) making them a hidden carbon hotspot.” WHAT!!!!???
 
Please do check this one out for yourself. I’m still recovering from the shock. I cannot begin to take this CO2 emissions guilt seriously if there is not a true picture. Trust = Truth & Transparency
 
Farmers! It’s time to call out the system that is trying to break you. By being exempt from reporting then the Military Industrial Complex undermine the validity of this plan. Like research that exempts the data that doesn’t suit. Can we trust it? Before we count down to the time we will be expected to pay carbon fines there will have to be some serious kick back on this issue!
