Heat and drought are inflicting perilous strain on dairy cows across the globe, drying up their milk production and threatening the long-term global supply of everything from butter to baby formula.

estimates that the dairy and meat industries will lose $39.94-billion per year to heat stress by that same date.

Tom Barcellos, who has been raising and milking the animals for 45 years in Tipton, California, has a complex cooling system at his farm. Complete with fans and misting machines, it even plans around the direction of the wind. But he finds warm nights can sap production. Pandya houses his cattle in a shed with a fogger system, which pumps in water and converts it to mist. But he still sees milk production at his farm decline more than 30% during the sweltering heat of summer.

“I can’t afford to build a shed for my cattle,” said Bharvad, who supports his family of 15 with the profits from his farm.

The enormous stress that raising dairy cattle places on our planet is NOT justified at all especially since humans should not be consuming dairy products nor beef. This planet can no longer tolerate this industry.

Does humanity really need all this milk?

Did they stop funding your Covid stories? Now getting paid for climate change propaganda?

Isn't that ironic. Considering cows are one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gases. Looks like nature is balancing itself out.
