AP: ‘People often make wrong climate choices, a study says. One surprise is owning a dog’ – ‘Dogs are big meat eaters, & meat is a significant contributor to climate change’
https://www.wcax.com/2025/08/13/people-often-make-wrong-climate-choices-study-says-one-surprise-is-owning-dog/ By The Associated Press It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants […]
NOT PARODY: ‘Beneficial Bloodsucking’: Bioethicists Want Ticks to Infect People to Stop Them from Eating Meat – ‘We argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of tickborne [allergy] are also morally impermissible’ – Published in the Journal Bioethics
This is not a parody. Two bioethicists have argued in the prestigious professional journal Bioethics that we should breed ticks to cause more infections of a condition that causes an allergy to red meat.

Meteorologist: ‘The methane scare is a scam. Cattle/livestock are environmentally sustainable’
The methane scare is a scam. Cattle / livestock are environmentally sustainable. Although cattle “burp” methane (CH₄), just as most living things do, they are a natural part of the carbon cycle. It is true that CH₄ has a higher warming potential per molecule than… pic.twitter.com/x42u1AeJeL — Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX) June 14, 2025 Farming is […]
Study claims: ‘Climate change is coming for your cheese’! ‘Heat & drought can affect what cows eat, which in turn impacts milk quality’ – Published in the Journal of Dairy Science
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/climate-change-coming-for-cheese Excerpt via Science News June 10, 2025: By affecting cows’ diets, climate change can affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory traits such as taste, color and texture. This is true at least for Cantal — a firm, unpasteurized cheese from the Auvergne region in central France, researchers report February 20 in the Journal of Dairy Science. […]
Even Trash Isn’t Safe From California’s Regulatory Overkill – ‘Proposed landfill regulations…abstract, vague, & completely detached from physical reality’
https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/02/ca-trash-overreach/ By: Chad Hagan The Golden State’s overreach extends to the garbage, but these policies ignore the real trash. California regulates everything. Gas stoves, pronouns, lawn equipment, cow farts — if there’s a way to insert bureaucratic red tape into daily life, Sacramento will find it. In the Golden State, taking out the garbage has become […]
Sorry, CNN, No ‘Cow Fart’ Vaccine Is Necessary or Will Stop Climate Change
Sorry, CNN, No “Cow Fart” Vaccine Is Necessary or Will Stop Climate Change By Linnea Lueken A recent CNN article, “How a ‘cow fart’ vaccine could help tackle climate change,” discusses a vaccine under development to be given to cows to reduce the amount of methane their digestive processes produce. The hope is that the […]
Paper Exposes Pseudoscience Behind Methane War on Farmers – Study ‘meticulously dismantles prevailing narrative that methane emissions from agriculture are a threat to the planet’
Paper Exposes Pseudoscience Behind Methane War on Farmers By Vijay Jayaraj Methane emissions have become a focal point of the climate debate, triggering absurd agricultural regulations negatively affecting farming communities worldwide. Targets for abuse are ruminant animals, including cattle and sheep, that produce methane (CH4) through enteric fermentation — a natural digestive process that converts […]
The Cows Are Alright! Study finds cows help farms capture more carbon in soil – ‘Cattle help improve the biodiversity of the land’
