Boycotts against a bovine burp blocking feed additive intended to mitigate supposed impacts of methane emissions on the climate have been launched in Britain over safety concerns, which proponents have branded as “misinformation”.
COP28 concluded Sunday with minimal chatter on carbon emissions and a slew of new commitments to reduce methane emissions.
The burps and farts of cattle and sheep are set to be taxed by the leftist government of New Zealand to supposedly save the environment.
The U.S. and China released an unexpected joint declaration on climate change at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland on Wednesday, committing themselves to “accelerated actions in the critical decade of the 2020s” and multilateral cooperation to “hold the global average temperature increase to well below 2 degrees C.”
President Joe Biden and the European Union have agreed to try to reduce global methane emmissions by 2030 mainly by targeting fossil fuels.
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm responded to a question on the Biden administration blocking the Keystone XL Pipeline and increasing regulations on domestic energy production while lifting sanctions on the Nord
Environmentalists intent on finding new ways to reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions to curb climate change have proposed a novel method: feed cows seaweed to diminish methane in flatulence, belches, and manure.
Steve Milloy, founder of Junk Science website, spoke to Breitbart News Sunday, countering climate alarmists’ proposals that would force Americans to stop eating meat and ban plastic straws.
Just when you think the global warming crowd can’t get any crazier, you find that they are now researching how to minimize the noxious effects of cow-belching on the environment by tweaking the bovine diet.
What is the “biggest unfinished business for the Obama administration?” According to a report from Bill McKibben, the outspoken climate alarmist who calls for keeping all fossil fuels in the ground, it is “to establish tight rules on methane emissions”—emissions that he blames on the “rapid spread of fracking.”
California Gov. Jerry Brown may think he has staked a position on the environment that will please the left, but he hasn’t gone far enough: groups that oppose fracking are targeting him in Paris on Wednesday afternoon with a protest at the Le Bourget conference site.
More bad news for climate alarmists: methane released by the thawing permafrost just isn’t looking like the deadly threat it was supposed to be. For years it has been an article of faith among climate doommongers that methane is the
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken yet another regulatory action to interfere with oil and gas production – long considered an activity with de minimus impact on air quality. The Agency now sets its sights on methane, which is the primary component of natural gas. Methane emissions from natural gas systems have fallen by 14.3% from 2008-2012. Any leaks from hydraulically fractured natural gas wells have fallen by 73% from 2011-2013. In this same time frame, the U.S. has become the world’s leading producer of natural gas, nearly quadrupling production rates from those in 2008, as well as increasing natural gas pipelines by 30%. In spite of the steep decline of methane emissions and steady economic growth, the White House recently moved forward with the Climate Action Plan, directing the EPA to propose expansive rules by the summer of 2015. The new regulations aim to reduce methane emissions by 40-45% from 2012 levels by 2025 through a series of actions targeting the oil and gas industry.
