Trump doesn't care about your despair!

Why do you think the impact of large scale industrial farming is largely ignored by climate alarmists?

Really? Well, that's news.

Why do you think the impact of large scale industrial farming is largely ignored by climate alarmists?

Partly because scientists are more concerned with the sustained warming of CO2 rather than more medium term effects of methane.. but you really should elaborate on the statement, so I know what you mean.

Farmers don't create co2?

Our breathing creates CO2 as well, but I think the main greenhouse impact of the dairy/agriculture industry is through methane and nitrous oxide. They produce a more intense warming, over a shorter atmospheric lifetime.
