Is that better?

OK, so the EUP are looking at the environmental impact of livestock farming?
That sounds sensible. Animals are not without impact, for example: Some of the fields near my village are not allowed to hold life stock because they eutrophy the local river and kill the fish.
As for the greenhouse gasses, the EU are quite right to look into every avenue, even if nothing comes of their investigation. Life stock release CO2 and NO2 from the plant they eat that have captured the CO2 and NO2 from the air and ground respectively. In this way a cow in a field if carbon neutral as long as new grass grows, but some farmers already trap the gases from manure to use in power generation so why not question things and investigate?

I much prefer a organization that asks many questions to one that has many answers before asking questions. The more places you look, the more things you will find!
