If you eliminate your source of dairy products at home, you must either stop people from using dairy products or replace your source of those products with foreign providers.<\/p>\n<p>People aren\u2019t going to stop drinking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-dairy-farmers-angry-fda-makes-announcement-oat-soy-milk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">milk<\/a> or eating cheese just because the government wants to pretend it is \u201cdoing something\u201d about climate change.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does that mean? It means that people will be forced to buy their dairy from foreigners. And what else does that mean? It means foreign farmers will have to increase their production in other places.<\/p>\n<p>OK, now follow me here, Ireland. What ELSE does that mean? Yes, it means that all you are doing is transferring your emissions to other countries and that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/climate-madness-government-looking-to-cull-nearly-200000-dairy-cows\/\" title=\"Gov't plans to cull 200K dairy cows due to climate concerns.\">supposed climate change \u201cfixes\u201d aren\u2019<\/a>t really doing anything at all because you\u2019ll just be increasing emissions somewhere else.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2023\/06\/02\/irelands-mooted-cow-massacre-warning-to-net-zero-britain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Telegraph\u2019s<\/a> Jamie Blackett called the whole plan a sort of \u201cmadness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSpending vast sums of taxpayer\u2019s money on destroying productive animals would be a perfect summation of the net zero madness infecting the West. The Irish Department of Agriculture has said that the report was just a \u2018modeling document\u2019, but no sane government would even get to the point of including such a plan in \u2018a deliberative process\u2019\u201d Why? Because it is irrational,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<h3>Eliminating Cattle to Meet Climate Goals<\/h3>\n<p>But the plan is not exactly new. TVP World noted that there has been talk of eliminating as many as 1.3 million cattle to meet government climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s Environmental Protection Agency produced a report in February this year proposing a 30% reduction in Irish cattle, which would equate to killing well over half a million cows,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<h3>Synthetic Foods to Replace Real Food<\/h3>\n<p>Governments are also pushing synthetic foods in hopes of replacing real food.<\/p>\n<p>Such \u201cinnovations\u201d presumably include eliminating meat and forcing everyone to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/two-insect-species-given-green-light-food-humans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eat bugs<\/a>. Other \u201csolutions\u201d could involve the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-gates-wants-first-world-nations-offer-synthetic-beef-can-get-used-taste-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">synthetic meats<\/a> that apparently contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nauseating-report-precancerous-cells-found-lab-grown-meat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">precancerous cells<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Leftist Governments Everywhere<\/h3>\n<p>These sort of harebrained schemes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/global-britain-uk-seeks-carbon-border-tax-on-countries-that-dont-meet-climate-goals\/\" title=\"Global Britain?
