Quote:The White House on Wednesday argued that ranchers and farmers should still try to reduce cattle emissions in order to prevent climate change, which would also help reduce meat prices.

National Economic Council director Brian Deese blamed industry consolidation and supply chain disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic for rising meat prices. But he also warned about supply disruptions caused by climate change.

“Resilience is also important with respect to the realities of a climate-affected world and a climate-affected country,” Deese said in response to a reporter who asked him about emissions caused by meat production.

The left frequently argues against meat consumption, noting that the methane gas issued by cow farts hurts the ozone layer protecting the earth.

Deese pointed to recent “extreme” natural disasters, such as wildfires, flooding, and hurricanes — which he blamed on climate change — for disrupting supply chains.

He added that the Biden administration would continue pushing more farmers and ranchers to produce products that would actually help reduce emissions.

Deese said Biden wanted to continue “transitioning our agricultural system to be part of an effort to actually reduce emissions across the board.”

He argued that it was possible for farms and ranges to make the transition without raising prices for groceries in the United States.

“We can do that in a way that actually doesn’t end up in a situation where American consumers are left paying higher prices and Americans farmers are left with less income,” he said.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack spoke about the Biden administration creating ways for farmers to convert agricultural waste into products that would give them more return on their investments.

“That is a real possibility in this administration with the passage of the reconciliation bill and the infrastructure bill,” he said.

Deese said that meat prices, such as for beef, chicken, and pork, were the primary cause of heightened grocery prices across the country.

“If you take out those three categories we’ve actually seen price increases that are more in line with historical norms,” he said.

Deese also blamed the increased consolidation of meat production facilities for keeping prices high, which he said raised “concerns” of companies “pandemic profiteering” without passing on their record profits to farmers and ranchers.

You gotta be some kind of stupid to think cow farts are directly proportional with beef prices!

over 1/4th of the greenhouse gas emissions for the entire planet comes from China. If every other developed country got down to 0%, China alone would still push us past the "point of no return" according to the "science".

Why cut our own throats if it isnt going to matter anyway.. When China reduces their emissions to equal or lower than ours, then we can worry about what we are doing.. until then I say F off.

This belongs in the leftist utopia thread to archive the absolute stupidity

As if lowering meat prices is a GOAL of farmers or ranchers lol. Seems like, if lowering animal "emissions" would lead to lower meat prices, then that would be an incentive not to do it, not a feature of the plan. Clueless dems.

You know we have reached the level of absurdity when we are talking about Cow farts.

I'll sit the night in a closed garage with a live cow, while this goober sits the night in a closed garage with a running car. See ya in the morning.

I wonder how much time Brian Deese has spent on a farm or a ranch. My guess would be less time than it took me to write this post.

The solution is simple. Eat less beef and more salads.

So how is this going to be accomplished? Give all the cows some beano? And what about AOC and the squad or the hags of The View? What about those farting cows?

The solution is to eat less beef. If demand goes down, then we don't need as many cows and we will have less farts.

I tell ya what, YOU eat less beef. I'll have a steak in honor of your decision. Medium rare, seared to seal in the flavor.

I already eat virtually no beef, but I will fight to defend your right to pig out on steaks and hamburgers. :)

Good for you. I respect anyone who can avoid beef for health reasons.

As the Conservative Chick Fil A says..............Eat more Chicken.

That would be another way to do it but probably not as popular.

It would be very popular around here if you did it
