Have I seen this before? I don’t remember if the climate cult has done this before. This comes from “Science News”, which looks like a cult outlet
Climate change is coming for your cheese
By affecting cows’ diets, climate change can affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory traits such as taste, color and texture. This is true at least for Cantal — a firm, unpasteurized cheese from the Auvergne region in central France, researchers report February 20 in the Journal of Dairy Science.
Cows in this region typically graze on local grass. But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to other feedstocks for their cows, such as corn, to adapt. “Farmers are looking for feed with better yields than grass or that are more resilient to droughts,” but they also want to know how dietary changes affect their products, says animal scientist Matthieu Bouchon.
For almost five months in 2021, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows from two different breeds — simulating a drought and supplementing grass with other fodder, largely corn, in varying amounts. (snip)
They found that a corn-based diet did not affect milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in the greenhouse gas methane coming from cows’ belching. But grass-fed cows’ cheese was richer and more savory than that from cows mostly or exclusively fed corn. Grass-based diets also yielded cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and higher counts of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. The authors suggest that to maintain cheese quality, producers should include fresh vegetation in cows’ fodder when it is based on corn.
So the taste of cheese is doomed. Because there have never been droughts before. Except during the Little Ice Age, which led to a revolution in France. It’s always something.
French producers will possibly need different strategies to fit their environment and cow breeds. But Bouchon is certain of one thing: “If climate change progresses the way it’s going, we’ll feel it in our cheese.”
Yes, because a whopping 1.6F increase in temperatures since 1850 is bad.
Global warming is coming for every thing. As your long term weather (climate) changes in your area, it impacts every thing. Plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, viruses… growing seasons, rain, droughts, heat waves, crops…
Mr teach repeats his mockery of “a whopping 1.6F increase in temperatures since 1850”.
Since 1850 the Earth has warmed nearly 1.5 degrees C which is about 2.5 degrees F. In the past 50 years the rate of warming has increased signicantly.
The rate is irrelevant-it’s the alleged effect of the rate.
“But as climate change causes more severe droughts…” No evidence of that. But I suppose that happens when it’s not causing more severe rain…
“Since 1850 the earth has warmed..1.5C..” There is no credible global temperature record that goes back that far. One can look at the NOAA website and see that in 1850 basically only Central England and the US had any temp coverage.
Well Climate Change must be the problem. Tee’d off at 8:05 AM and the grass was wet, the trees are full of leaves (all of witch are producing 02 from C02) and the wind was blowing. Sh0t my worst game of the season this morning. Yep, has to be climate change.
Or, it could be I just had a bad game. Naw, no way. Had to be climate change. At least the beer at the club house was super cold thanks to modern technology.
For some strange reason I breath so much easier when I’m out near nature. So much green.
Too bad about cheese. I will miss it. Maybe some types of cheeses will survive longer than others. At my house, the parmasean seems to last longer than the baby bels.
No doubt, the oligarchs ™ will establish indoor cheese making for their own use. The peasants will get Velveeta.
Cheese is nothing but rotten, sour, clabbered milk, and we will be better for it if it disappears from the earth.
Heresy.
How about Cheeses of Nazareth?
The Little ice Age was primarily regional Europe and a tiny part of North As America.
It mostly affected only some white people
There are now fewer cattle in the USA than at any time since 1950. Ranchers sold off many cattle ,
Ground beef prices from 5.50 to 5.80 in the last 6 months
CHEEEEEEESE!!!!
Not much of a cheese shop is it?
Finest in the District.
And what leads you to that conclusion?
Well, it’s so clean.
It’s certainly uncontaminated by cheese.
