The UK's war on cow farts

And what jack-in-the-box Bill Gates has to do with it

Never in a million years would I have ever imagined that I would be writing a piece about cow farts, but - since we live in an absolute clown world and nothing surprises me anymore - here we go.

As we all know, there is a global war on farming going on under the guise of ‘saving’ our greatest global good: the planet. Interestingly however, our policy makers all have very different solutions to the so called ‘global emergency’, depending on their respective countries. Because as it turns out, English cows are wildly different from Dutch cows - and apparently, in some cases, borders do matter.

When it comes to farming, the Dutch government has decided nitrogen is the devil that plagues the Netherlands, but the UK government is fighting a war against its own Beelzebub which takes shape in the form of methane. In a recently published policy paper called ‘Powering Up Britain – The Net Zero Growth Plan’, the UK government announced that it has a plan to tackle the cows’ seemingly deadly burps and farts, stating it anticipates the entry of ‘‘high efficacy methane suppressing products to the UK market from 2025 and will explore the role of industry and government to maximize uptake of such products for suitable cattle farm systems at pace, through a phased approach.’’
