Do older people need to have global warming explained to them?

But who on GN is saying we are not in a warming stage?
Why does V3 posit such strange statements as if only she has heard this or noticed it?

Just in case anyone is in any doubt...

Scientists who have several decades studying this are all agreed that we are in a warming stage. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either completely misguided or is trying to mislead you intentionally.

So what quaifications do these kids have, bearing in mind that scientists who have several decades studying this say that the earth is actually in a cooling cycle at the moment and that when the percentage of CO2 drops to 0.02% all plant life will start dying off. Not a great thing seeing as the WEF and all their 'young global leaders' seem to want everyone to eat a plant-based diet. Mind you, Bill Gates is 3D printing meat at the moment, but there's the bugs too. Although, if plant life dies off, so will the bugs.

I've watched shearers at work, reckon I could have a go.

I'm thinking of either employing a couple of sheep or turning the garden over to a vineyard as it slopes.
What do you think?
🤣🤣Go for it!
The sheep would have to compete with the tortoise chez nous!

Oh, thank goodness! What a relief.

No millions of cows on our green and pleasant pastures then, no out of control sheep on our mountains green?

Not like the feral camels in Australia.
Or the sheep terrorising a Welsh town.

No Callistemon21.
And they will find a way of using unusable (except for grazing sheep), land to grow soya until that becomes the next unacceptable thing.
They will continue to grow plants that need vast amounts of land and water to replace the wool from sheep and the chemically produced materials, regardless of the damage it does to the environment and those who have to live on/make a living from the land.
Actually, in Portugal recently I watched vines and olives being grown on almost vertical slopes, so all we really need is a warmer climate and better soil. We could use chemical soil improver perhaps?

Iberico Pork is said to be the finest in the world - and uses up the acorns - perhaps Ibericao pork is a way forward? 🐷

"Acorn-fed Iberico pork is a delicacy in many countries because it comes from special black Iberian pigs that are only fed acorns on the plains of the Iberian Peninsula, giving it a unique flavor. It comes in a wide variety of different choices including ham, chorizo, loin, and salami."

Sheep are 'terrorising' a S Wales village
www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/sheep-bypass-godrergraig-roaming-flock-26621904

Wild brumbies, camels, cattle, goats and, nearer to home, escaped boar in the Forest of Dean, digging up graveyards, children's playing fields, football pitches.
Humans will keep getting in their way.

If everyone on the planet changes to a vegetarian diet, what would happen to all the animals which are now produced for food?

Presumably they would be freed, allowed to roam and reproduce and therefore produce even more methane?

Like here?

Surely there'd be mass slaughter of farm animals. They wouldn't be turned out to roam. Or am I being naive?

The mass slaughter of animals is the status quo, surely, for people to be able to eat meat!

Precisely!

We're thinking UK here, I think, but we're not the only country to breed livestock, obviously.
In other countries where farm animals have escaped, they do not all die out naturally.
Herds do sometimes get culled to control numbers.

Seems we're slow reverting back to 'Esau's lentils' - assuming it takes more years, numbers of cows grown for slaughter will slowly decrease.

Cows have an uncertain number of babies per season - cow numbers will work out as people become vegans.

Mmmmm, just fancy a burger now 🍔

Well Callistemon, I don't want to be made fun of and asked daft questions about things that are obvious to a twelve year old, and take them at face value when they have been discussed at length previously.

We're not all going veggie overnight. We're actually not all going veggie at all. The proportion of veggies in the population will grow gradually and the number of farmed animals we need will decrease in proportion.

So no mass slaughter, no turning cows loose to become feral.

Why so sensitive?
It’s true what Callistemon says about farm animals, they would have to be put down if not wanted anymore or those left put out to get their own living, so become feral and a nuisance.They would get ill and suffer.
The whole world doesn’t want to become vegetarian thankfully.

Volver - much as you may like to, you do not own the threads so other posters s are entitled to express an opinion without being jumped on or asked if, when they express an alternative viewpoint, Are you doing this on purpose?

Are you doing this on purpose?

Are you?

What?

No, just questioning as the evidence in many cases would seem to prove otherwise.

Are you doing this on purpose?

We'd stop making them.
I do know about artificial insemination but a feral cow and a feral bull don't need that to reproduce.

volver3

Oh not this again...

They'd die out. We'd stop making them. We don't have to keep on artificially creating animals that are not a result of nature.

This argument about "oh will they all run free" is just so ridiculous.

What is the evidence for the assertion that they would die out?

When previously domesticated animals become feral they may profilerate, not die out.
