Please don't try to blame me for Climate Change

AS A dairy cow, I feel much maligned by misconceptions concerning my contribution to climate change.

Plants and trees are nature's way of dealing with carbon emissions, but this process produces cellulose, a carbohydrate you humans are unable to digest.

However, I love to eat it and I convert it into milk and beef, which you enjoy as part of you balanced diet.

I do apologise for the methane I produce, but have your scientists told you that this breaks down naturally and is reabsorbed by plants, thus completing a natural cycle?

Because of better breeding, I produce more milk and meat than my grandparents did, so fewer cows are needed, hence our carbon footprint has actually decreased.

I do wish you humans would acknowledge that 80 per cent of greenhouse gasses come from the fossil fuel-consuming industries, which include factories, producing processed soya, almond and other somewhat artificial drinks masquerading as milk!
