Are Cow Burps Causing Climate Change? with Dr. Frank Mitloehner
Description
We’re joined by professor and air quality specialist Dr. Frank Mitloehner today who comes on to answer all our burning methane questions. He is director of UC Davis’ CLEAR Center, which helps the global community understand the environmental and human health impacts of livestock. What sets Dr. Mitloehner apart is his desire to work with farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness to mitigate emissions from within. On today’s episode we learn how the main greenhouses gasses differ from one another (and why it matters), what “idle cows” and “methane leakage” are, and why calling for developed nations to curb their beef production could be a huge mistake.
