A group of 25 climate activist groups filed a petition this week with the U.S. EPA to restrict hog and dairy operations due to their asserted impacts on climate change.
The petition reveals, yet again, that the same climate activists who appear in front of state legislative committees while claiming to be concerned about climate change’s impact on farmers, ranchers, and livestock operations, will immediately after the hearings target, vilify, and slander livestock producers to anybody else who will listen.
The petition argues that EPA should “regulate industrial dairy and hog operations under section 111 of the Clean Air Act because these operations cause and contribute significantly to air and climate pollution that endangers public health and welfare.”
“Over the past few decades, these operations have dramatically grown in size and number while simultaneously spewing unabated and increasing air pollution, including methane, a climate super pollutant,” the petition continues.
The petition claims to be specifically targeting large hog and dairy farms, but the same arguments are made against livestock operations of all sizes when climate activists address the United Nations, American policy bodies, and the public at large.
Climate activists despise – don’t defend – farmers, ranchers, and livestock production.

Last time I loo ked there were more humans than pigs (the animal kind) in this world. I think we all probably give off more bad gas (especially politicians and green freaks) than piggies, so maybe we should be taken to the slaughterhouse.
Give it a break, alarmists ! Pigs are not the problem, YOU ARE !!!
I wonder whom they got to sign their stupid petition? Probibly the same suckers who beleieve this Global Warming/Climate Change scam
An Australian livestock farmer won an environmental award some years ago for his preparations for global warming. It basically meant sowing more dry tropical grasses in a temperate climate – hardly earth-shattering stuff and not exactly helpful during a cold spell like we’re encountering at the moment.
Still, being seen to do the right thing should keep the animal activists off his back.
At least, that’s what the flying pigs in the activist advertisements seem to be saying…
Notice that the effort to curtail pig and dairy farming is 100% burocratic. If limiting hog and dairy production were to be done, it should be through the legislative process. The climate change movement routinely by passes democracy.
We need to keep in mind that according the climate model that mostly closely matches real world data, the Russian model, we are only going to have 1.4 degrees of warming by 2100, so there is no need to limit green house gasses.
