Farmers in Ireland are expressing outrage over the globalist Irish government’s decision to cull 200,000 of the nation’s healthy cows to meet the green agenda’s climate goals.
The government is moving to reduce national cattle numbers over claims they contribute to “climate change” due to “carbon emissions.”
A report by the Irish Department of Agriculture outlined how 200,000 cows could be killed over the next three years to meet carbon targets.
The plan would reportedly come at a cost of around 600 million euros to taxpayers, with the document indicating that 5,000 euros per cow would be offered as compensation.
The country’s Environmental Protection Agency said that the agriculture industry was creating nearly 40 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions there, and much of it stems from the methane in livestock and the use of nitrogen fertilizer.
The country has committed to reducing its agricultural emissions by 25 percent by the year 2030.
They are calling the plan a “dairy reduction scheme,” but the result is the senseless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of animals in the name of somehow helping the environment.
The cull would entail killing 65,000 cows per year over the next three years, reducing the country’s overall dairy herd by 10 percent.
It is being positioned as a potential “retirement exit scheme” for aging farmers.
The president of the Irish Farmers’ Association, Tim Cullinan, said that the plan would only serve to increase farmers’ mistrust in the government and will not have the intended environmental aims.
He said: “Reducing dairy or beef production in Ireland will also lead to ‘carbon leakage’ with production moving to other countries with a higher carbon footprint.
“This is likely to increase global warming rather than reducing it.”
Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association President Pat McCormack believes that the focus should be on other sectors when it comes to helping the environment.
Climategate is the worst scientific scandal of our generation
The term Climategate was coined in 2009 to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (“CRU”).
The senders and recipients of the emails constituted a cast list of the IPCC’s scientific elite. They were a small group of scientists who had for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they played at the heart of the UN’s IPCC.
“Our hopelessly compromised scientific establishment cannot be allowed to get away with a whitewash of what has become the greatest scientific scandal of our age,” the late Christopher Booker wrote.
The following was written by Christopher Booker and published by The Telegraph on 28 November 2009. Note: we have changed some hyperlinks contained in the original article as they are no longer available.
Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation
Our hopelessly compromised scientific establishment cannot be allowed to get away with the Climategate whitewash, says Christopher Booker.
A week after my colleague James Delingpole, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term “Climategate” to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed.
The reason why even the Guardian‘s George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated. What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Since 2003, however, when the statistical methods used to create the “hockey stick” were first exposed as fundamentally flawed by an expert Canadian statistician Steve McIntyre, an increasingly heated battle has been raging between Mann’s supporters, calling themselves “the Hockey Team”, and McIntyre and his own allies, as they have ever more devastatingly called into question the entire statistical basis on which the IPCC and CRU construct their case.
Let us remember that the planet was once free of ice and life flourished. The scam once was the planet was cooling and it never happened as predicted and then it was called global warming and it didn’t happen as predicted. When the predictions are always wrong go to the back up, climate change. Dummy, the planet is in constant change and has been for over 4.5 billion years. Least now your guaranteed you can get it right. The premise is a scam for an opportunity to control and establish some narcissistic control freak show. Why don’t they just stop with all the nonsense and just say it. We intend to control society and establish a one world government that everyone that is beneath us will be required to do as we say or else.
