Environmental plans for N. Ireland: Kill 1 million sheep and cattle, grow grain

And get rid of 5 million chickens, too.

No one wonders why Northern Ireland does not have amber waves of grain? Try its present and historical climate.

From Power Line Blog

“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 ​​jurisdictions 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.

“… 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.”
