There is no evidence its needed in the first place so why bother to go any further than that?

Wait, so Billy boy wants to have zero carbon.

He does realise that all life on earth will die if that happens.
Plants need the carbon to live and in turn create oxygen for us to breath. No carbon. No oxygen. No life.

They are even using machines to suck the carbon out of the air. I don't think they have thought this through properly.
 

King Charles's farming adviser becomes latest to criticise new Bovaer feed supplement, accusing dairy giant Arla of trying to 're-engineer the cow' - Mail Online​

One of King Charles III's farming advisers has accused Arla Foods of 're-engineering the cow' with its trial of adding a methane-suppressing supplement into cow feed.

Patrick Holden criticised Arla, which owns the UK's biggest dairy co-operative, over its controversial pilot of using the feed additive Bovaer across 30 British farms.

Organic farming pioneer Mr Holden - who advised Charles on setting up an organic holding at Highgrove, which became the Duchy Originals brand - said Arla had 'resorted to feed additives to maintain positive PR for their dairy-farming industry'.

The firm is working alongside Morrisons, Aldi and Tesco on the initiative, aimed at 'tackling climate-heating methane emissions produced by cows during digestion'.

Arla has cited research suggesting 'the supplement can reduce methane emissions from cows' digestion by an average of 27 per cent', but questions remain over such additives' long-term effectiveness and impact on animal health and welfare.

Swathes of British shoppers have joined a growing social media storm calling for a boycott of Arla brands, especially Lurpak, with several accusing it of going 'woke'.

Mr Holden, founder of the Sustainable Food Trust, said Bovaer had been 'declared safe and therefore harmless to consumers of products from treated dairy cows'.

But he told the Daily Telegraph: 'Feeding cows potions to reduce emissions is a classic case of the dairy industry, and I use that word advisedly, 'treating the symptoms rather than the cause of the problem'.'

'The cause in this case is separating the dairy cow from her natural environment of which she is intrinsically a part. Once this separation has occurred, both physically and in the mindset of society, methane becomes a problem which needs to be addressed by re-engineering the cow.'
