Twenty-second post

This week, climate change was thrown into question. Also on the subject of climate change, the Government has been looking into new ways of saving the World.

So, the Government gave money to some scientists to work out a solution of preventing climate change but also improving public health. By a matter of coincidence, there was a universal solution to both these problems.

Their report says:

Agricultural food production and agriculturally-related change in land use substantially contribute to greenhouse-gas emissions worldwide. Four-fifths of agricultural emissions arise from the livestock sector. Although livestock products are a source of some essential nutrients, they provide large amounts of saturated fat, which is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

So their conclusion is to remove 30% of livestock so unhealthy people can’t eat them and the greenhouse effect will subside. But what will happen then? The price of meat will inflate and it will become a luxury. People will run a black market of meat; possibly human meat.

Then there will be the meat feuds where a pig will be traded by one group to another, only for a large shoot-out to commence. The victors would then eat the fallen.

Is this is the kind of world that the Government wants? Apparently yes, if the plan goes ahead. Which it won’t, I hope.

"All is not butter that comes from the cow."

Over the past few weeks, I have been in Ireland (you can see my pictures here). There, you will find many cows, which could be the dominant species of Earth in many ways.

Firstly, they co- exist with each other with social benevolence. They do not mess in the mindless extremities of war, but this could all be a cover as they plot the downfall of humanity.

Secondly, they are vital to fertilise the ecosystem. If they understood how important they were they could use the power against us, enslave our race and create soylent green to they could sit on a throne of poetic justice.

Finally, they are possibly very intelligent and are thought to have sophisticated meteorological capabilities. They could also have a good understanding of the current economic situation. There have been reported cases of cow suicides, an act synonymous with recession.

Bearing all this in mind, the question is, are we dominant over cows, or are they dominant over us?
