Interestingly, antibiotics like Rumensin are used to kill off methane-producing gut bacteria and promote other gut flora that are more efficient at digestion.

If you're curious why antibiotics are seen as necessary by farmers - I found an insightful Quora answer about US practices: "The antibiotic, not antibiotics, in question is monesin sodium, also known originally by the trade-name

My spouse plans conferences. Her event planning team is mostly women. Most of the speakers at their conferences are men - the main reason why is because many women candidates refuse the opportunity. An attendee who loudly complained about d

Maybe we should support gas flaring, rather than opposing it. Flaring turns methane into CO2 + water vapor, which are less potent greenhouse gases.

If most of the world's practical alternative to US corn is palm oil and other cheap slash and burn crops - abandoning corn won't be good for the environment.

Of course the largest most established carmakers would want to keep an effective form of regulatory capture in place. Byzantine and inconsistent regional compliance requirements raise the cost of market entry.

by drak0n1c 7y ago
There is a valid reason based in dismantling regulatory capture. The California rules make it necessary for carmakers to produce multiple types of cars for different regions of the country, or just produce all cars based on California'

China's economic slowdown has been a long time coming, the relevance of this slowdown to the trade war is not necessarily as a consequence of it but more of a fortuitous opportunity for the US to negotiate freer trade in China. The tra

The point countering the parent comment is that the country didn't fall apart. Since it is not an inevitable outcome, the US shouldn't get all the blame. European and Asian countries also suffered heinous acts of subjugation and t

Perhaps the EU should be reformed to allow more direct representation in lawmaking, otherwise it risks future exits.

That's why opposition to gas flaring is ridiculous. It's far better for the environment to burn it and turn leaking methane into CO2 + water vapor than let it escape (even if the burning can't be locally used to power anythin
