The Political Page, T+318 -- December 5, 2017
Based on arrests, number of illegal immigrants streaming across the "southern border" is at a 46-year low ... and as far as I can tell, most Americans are doing fine without an illegal immigrant doing their yard work or working farms in California.This story is from the BBC so you know it has to be true. Many, many data points at the linked article.
Methane emissions: speaking of California -- back to that question asked the other day. This is the answer to an earlier pop quiz in which we asked what is the number one source of California's methane emissions: dairy cattle.
From Bloomberg via Rigzone:
Methane is responsible for about a quarter of human-generated global warming. While it's not nearly as prevalent as carbon dioxide, and it breaks down in the atmosphere faster, methane is many times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat. And avoiding a man-made climate catastrophe will require limiting emissions from farms as well as oil and gas pipelines, landfills, and other sources.
In California, most methane emissions are from cows -- chiefly the state's 1.7 million dairy cows, whose manure is typically washed into methane-spewing lagoons. This is why the state, which has pledged to reduce methane emissions by 40 percent by 2030, is looking to the big Central Valley dairy farms for substantial reductions.Wow, the hyperbole never quits ... to avoid a man-made climate catastrophe. Well, at least folks reminding us about cattle farts keeps our collective minds off nuclear waste. And North Korea. And volcanoes.
Why doesn't California simply mandate that California dairy producers barn their cows in Nevada? It works for coal. Or ship the manure to Nevada by rail -- maybe a spur off the "bullet train" route.
