It is becoming difficult to keep pace with the speed at which the global warming scam is now unravelling. The latest reversal of scientific \u201cconsensus\u201d is on livestock and the meat trade as a major cause of global warming \u2013 one-fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to eco-vegetarian cranks. Now a scientific report delivered to the American Chemical Society says it is nonsense. The Washington Times has called it \u201cCowgate\u201d.<\/p>\n

The cow-burp hysteria reached a crescendo in 2006 when a United Nations report ominously entitled \u201cLivestock\u2019s Long Shadow\u201d claimed: \u201cThe livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents). This is a higher share than transport.\u201d This led to demands in America for a \u201ccow tax\u201d and a campaign in Europe at the time of the Copenhagen car crash last December called Less Meat=Less Heat.<\/p>\n

Now a report to the American Chemical Society by Frank Mitloehner, an air quality expert at the University of California at Davis, has denounced such scare-mongering as \u201cscientifically inaccurate\u201d. He reveals that the UN report lumped together digestive emissions from livestock, gases produced by growing animal feed and meat and milk processing, to get the highest possible result, whereas the traffic comparison only covered fossil fuel emissions from cars. The true ratio, he concludes, is just 3 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions in America are attributable to rearing of cattle and pigs, compared with 26 per cent from transport.<\/p>\n

Mitloehner also makes the deadly serious point: \u201cProducing less meat and milk will only mean more hunger in poor countries.\u201d Precisely. The demonising of cows and pigs is just another example of global warmists\u2019 callous indifference to starvation in the developing world, as in the case of the unbelievably immoral and reckless drive for biofuels \u2013 pouring Third World resources for subsistence into Western liberals\u2019 fuel tanks \u2013 and, notoriously, carbon trading.
