I was thinking that the complaint was primarily about the CO2, but your comment makes me realize that they could have been concerned about the radiation aspects in the air too...
- dredmorbius 3y agoRadioactive boar flesh, as with all other biomass, is already in the biosphere, that is, it is not fossilised carbon being reintroduced. Contributions to increased greenhouse gasses would effectively be net zero. (Note that non-combusted boars are already expelling CO2 through respiration, as well as more potent gases such as methane through metabolism and decomposition of solid wastes. Methane production through human livestock is among the concerns of climate forcing, though I suspect wild boar populations are sufficiently small to not have a significant impact.)
- epistasis 3y agoYes, that was my point originally.
- dredmorbius 3y agoGot it.
