First week of field work with @kcsap_project in #Kericho,Kenya. We are working with KSCAP to assess mitigation of GHGs from dairy systems in Kenya.We conduct farmer surveys on dairy practices and measure productivity (heart girth and milk yields) @ArndtClaudia @linus_erick @ILRI

We are missing a big chunk of African #GHG emissions because there's no category for it! Read more in our latest paper on emissions from traditional #livestock enclosures or "bomas" in #Kenia. Link to paper: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01…

The Earth right now is far warmer than the previously measured record for this time of year. Even with a growing El Niño, the pace and size of the uptick that we've seen this year is pretty shocking.

This is extremely misleading! Methane from livestock isn't as bad as methane from FF BUT the livestock are still disrupting the natural carbon cycle (where the decomposing plant material would go back directly as CO2) and converting that CO2 to a short-lived but potent GHG.

Sam Knowlton@samdknowlton

Methane emissions from cattle and fossil fuels differ fundamentally and should not be conflated. Methane emitted by cattle is part of a natural or biogenic cycle. Cattle transform existing carbon in the form of plants and fibrous material into methane through their digestive process. Once released, this methane breaks down after about ten years and becomes water and CO2 molecules. The CO2 and H2O are cycled back into new plant material and the cycle continues. Fossil fuel emissions, unlike those from livestock, release long-sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere, disrupting the natural carbon cycle. By lumping emissions from livestock together with those from fossil fuels, cattle are unfairly vilified when in reality they are an important tool for ecosystem restoration and a source of nutrient-dense sustenance.
