Ireland is even considering culling 200,000 cows to meet their climate change virtue signaling goals. But their climate change argument is patently false. Recent studies have shown growing meat in a lab is actually as much as 25-times worse for the environment than producing the same amount of real beef. Corporate media is barely reporting on it, but they’ve been forced to…
