The federal government is proposing financial incentives for farmers in lieu of cutting enteric methane emissions that are released in the air when cows burp.

Firstly, climate change requires multiple solutions, this is just one of many. Secondly, methane is one of the gasses we can make the most change the quickest with. Thirdly, cow burps contain a lot of methane and it's pretty easy to reduce that with food supplements . It's actually pretty clever. Not sure why you're being so dismissive.

For some people, it seems that any change that isn't a 100% solution is wrong.

We've become so extreme in our conversations vs. being moderate to the point that people hate you for finding common ground. They want you to say they're right and that's it.

if they are even listening to what you say in the first place. you can literally tell them what they're right about and they demand that you address other aspects of their comments.

It's like that with everything now, people are becoming silly and can't see that most problems don't have a single, perfect solution.

Like, "seatbelts don't stop every possible vehicular fatality." Right, but their pretty good, and they're part of a suite of safety features that, taken together, make a difference.
