How did you respond the last time it was reported that "today is the hottest day on record"?

I apologize for the quality of the choices. Mastodon only lets you have four.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.

The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.

One reason is methane.

It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.

However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.

A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.

Australian trial of seaweed cow feed fails to achieve hoped-for methane cuts

Longest trial so far of supplement derived from red seaweed produced 28% less of the greenhouse gas – much lower than previous studies
