Whilst not always seeing eye to eye with Mr Kerr, i think he has a valid point about meat production and particularly cattle which contribute a lot to the amount of greenhouse gas we have.

With regard to fossil fuel i believe we need to help developing countries with cleaner technology to help combat emissions.

Yes methane does have a serious global warming potential, but so does butane and propane, but it doesn't stop us squirting millions of litres into the atmosphere every year via propellants in body sprays, hairsprays, spray paints, and other similar aerosol containers.
