So turns out that Rwanda has been discouraging traditional cattle grazing in favor of intensive factory farming because "climate change".
Basically, trading off a bit of methane emissions - which are _not_ a permanent problem - for increased long-term, permanent, emissions from all the industrial infrastructure required for intensive farming.
This smells more like corporate corruption than environmentalism...
@pete I agree. This smells.
@CalebCarr @verretor This is apparently a bug; I haven't blocked you. Others have had it as well.
It always works for me, strange.
@CalebCarr @verretor @pete this happens to me as well with Peter’s roots.
@NormieNorm @CalebCarr @verretor I should get around to upgrading my Mastodon software to see if it goes away... I've been meaning to change the hosting anyway.
@NormieNorm @verretor @pete I can’t like Peter’s toots either (OMG, that sounds wrong) even though I often like Peter’s toots. (Please kill me.)
@CalebCarr @NormieNorm @verretor I can like your toots.
I can't however do that when any six year olds comedians are present, least I get inundated with terrible low-brow humor.
@pete have you read Apocalypse Never? It's very good. There's a whole thing there about Africa and environmental alarmism. A whole bunch of misguided policies and cobra effects.
@pete it’s almost never actual environmentalism.
