Dairy cattle in Nevada have been infected with a new type of bird flu that’s different from the version that has spread in U.S. herds since last year, Agriculture Department officials said Wednesday.
The detection indicates that distinct forms of the virus known as Type A H5N1 have spilled over from wild birds into cattle at least twice. Experts said it raises new questions about wider spread and the difficulty of controlling infections in animals and the people who work closely with them.
“I always thought one bird-to-cow transmission was a very rare event. Seems that may not be the case,” said Richard Webby, an influenza expert at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
I feel there should be earlier things as I swear I saw similar things before 2010. Im looking into poore-nemecek but im not sure if its even the same thing as it seems to be about co2 and global warming as opposed to water usage or calorie usage.
they address land use and water use
The only things im finding so far is real bullshit. Claims of soy and corn grown for human used and the cows just getting the waste when we grow specifically feed corn. Im still looking for some legitimate critique article.
I gave you the critique. read their LCA references.
are you asking me to judge their methodology because it is way out of my field. Again though what I am seeing of critiques themselves have issues I can see and if I see something I no is not correct like the animal feed thing then I discount the whole critique because I do not feel I can trust it. As for other sources I can say going back I can find thes about conversion https://awellfedworld.org/feed-ratios/ and its source material in most cases is industry information.
are you asking me to judge their methodology because it is way out of my field.
I assure you it is written in plain English. no hard math is required to understand that they compiled data that was collected with disparate methodologies, and did so against the express direction of the original authors as well as accepted practice. further, the failed to disclose this, even when citing papers which committed the same faux pas which did disclose it.
none of thatwould invalidate it though. Disparate methodologies can be normalized. Almost no studies could be compare or correlated otherwise. express direction of authors just sound dramy to me. and then a faux pa. the article still seems to be about co2 to me as well so maybe im not reading it right.
none of thatwould invalidate it though.
you’re not qualified to evaluate their methodologies, but you disagree with my analysis of their methodologies without reading them? I don’t feel you are actually engaging with the material.
Im not disagreeing im saying its not anything that invalidates and its from some offhand internet comments so its not something I can look through. I am engaging and looking through the material. Besides what I put before currently am looking at these but its not like your giving me direct links your just giving me your generalities. https://climatefeedback.org/evaluation/guardian-story-on-climate-impacts-of-diet-gets-mixed-reviews-from-scientists-damian-carrington/ https://ourworldindata.org/faqs-environmental-impacts-food
