It's not "agreeing with me". I simply don't know whether rice milk or cow's milk, the way they are usually made today, emits more methane. And you don't know that either. This discussion is very far from an academic discussion. No references to peer-reviewed journals, no attempt to calculate the p-values... Mostly just walls of blind assertions (looking at you, @The Grand Nudger).

Beyond that, I'm amazed that a climate conscious person, like yourself, is so disinterested in the capture of climate regulatory and advisory agencies by fossil fuel interests?  If ghg emmissions are a problem, that's certainly a compounding factor, no?

Have you ever done some actual research? You know, publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals? It immunizes you from all sorts of bullshit.

Yes, Flat, and I have to say that it's never been my personal experience that land grant kids are immunized from any sort of bullshit for having been or being in the process of publishing - and you're obviously not.... despite having been published yourself? I can believe that alt ag draws in alot of loons (where else do you think the bs you keep falling for is coming from...?), and maybe comp sci or linguistics is less productive in this regard - but you'd have to try pretty hard to sell me on that idea. I do meet their friends in comp sci from time to time....

Perhaps we should feed some of our members rice so they emit less "methane"...

Of course, to fully understand how science works, you probably need to publish some papers in hard science. But even publishing a paper in soft science (linguistics...) or engineering (computer science...) helps against being an idiot.

Perhaps you know so little about how science works that you are unable to recognize actual competence in others?

Publishing scientific papers isn’t so much about understanding how science works as it is about understanding how science publishing works.
