Considerar:

ALGUNOS escritores han confundido de tal modo la sociedad con el gobierno, que hacen muy poca o casi ninguna distinción entre ambas cosas, cuando no solamente son diferentes entre sí, sino que tienen también distinto origen. La sociedad es el resultado de nuestras necesidades, y el gobierno el de nuestras iniquidades: la primera promueve nuestra felicidad POSITIVAMENTE, uniendo nuestras afecciones, y el segundo NEGATIVAMENTE, restringiendo nuestros vicios: la una activa el trato de los hombres, el otro cría las distinciones: aquélla es un protector, y éste un azote de la humanidad.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) padre fundador de los Estados Unidos

Northern Ireland faces loss of 1 million sheep and cattle to meet climate targets

Northern Ireland will need to lose more than 1 million sheep and cattle to meet its new legally binding climate emissions targets, according to an industry-commissioned analysis seen by the Guardian.

The large-scale reduction in farm animals comes after the passing of the ​​jurisdiction’s first ever climate act, requiring the farming sector to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and reduce methane emissions by almost 50% over the same period.

About a third of human-caused methane emissions come from livestock, mostly from the burps and manure of beef and dairy cattle. Analysis by KPMG, commissioned by industry representatives including the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU), estimates more than 500,000 cattle and about 700,000 sheep would need to be lost in order for Northern Ireland to meet the new climate targets.

Separate analysis by the UK government’s climate advisers suggests chicken numbers would also need to be cut by 5 million by 2035.
