Big Oil & Gas Blames Global Warming on Animal Guts

About 10–20 years ago strange articles appeared blaming global warming and methane emissions on wild Canadian moose fart. We, and especially Canadians, did not buy it then: Big Oil was behind this story, with Canadian Alberta oil sands mining and treating sands with boiled water vapor separating thin oil film from sand.

I thought it was a local anomaly, and it is over now. I was wrong.

Now it is global: a similar scientific narrative gets spun up by the media, on World Economic Forums and at TED powerful talks. Here is Ms. CRISPR associates 2/3 of methane emissions with microbiome, and suggests to solve the problem by fixing microbiome in calves:

Is it a true or false narrative, and who is behind? What about American LNG that replaced Nord Stream natural gas? Natural gas mining by hydraulic fracking in US, cooling it down to −256°F / −160°C (by taking heat out into the atmosphere) to make it liquid for transportation, transporting it to Europe through the Atlantic, burning it during transportation and finally in the EU …

With LNG export to EU, the US has squared its trading deficit with Europe.

Belgium and the EU government took this battle even further, on their own farmers, by forcing them to cut livestock. But take a look at the methane emissions map — who really emits methane:

Actual reason behind this move on European farmers is:

LNG is highly priced, and LNG volumes are not enough to support nitrates production at volumes needed and prices affordable for European agriculture. An American chemical plant in the UK producing fertilizers from methane was closed, and now chemical giant BASF closes some facilities in Germany. And Germany goes back to fertilizers production by the same microbiome, but now in silos filled with hay, corn, and the same bacteria as in animals’ guts. Interesting that Germany used the same technology centuries ago (with mounds instead of silos) for military production:
