Prince
Charles has been mocked for backing a climate change initiative that
would see a proportion of methane emitted by cows converted into CO2 and
water vapor via special catalytic converter fitted masks. The
initiative pioneered by startup Zelp, founded by Francisco Norris, has
been awarded the Terra Carta Design Lab award which forms part of
Charles' Sustainable Markets Initiative...
Yes,
in order to fight climate change, the next King of England believes
that it is very important that we strap these catalytic converters to
cows to convert burps in CO2. Real talk: The fact that they use the term catalytic converter and not "cattle-lytic" is a crime in and of itself. The initiative has been met with criticism from the sane community. And yes, there are still some sane people in Britain. The
attention drawn to at least one of the initiatives however may not be
the kind the prince was hoping to achieve as he has received criticism
over the out-there cow mask project. Broadcaster Sophie Corcoran took to Twitter to voice her disbelief over the project writing: "Prince Charles backs a
face mask device for cows that catches Methane emissions in order to
stop climate change. "Climate change Facemasks for cows. What world are we in? this guy is out [our] next king." TalkTV host Mike Graham told his viewers that the idea was "ridiculous" and "crazy". "Apparently
[the masks] are going to stop them burping," Graham said of the
initiative, "or at least when they do burp then the methane that emits
through their mouths is not going to contaminate the atmosphere." "I
mean this bloke wants to be the next king of the United Kingdom, Great
Britain and Northern Ireland," he continued. "I mean are you serious?
Prince Charles?" Graham was not alone in his criticism of the
initiative as he spoke to journalist Ross Clark who said, "I feel rather
sorry for the cow. Animals don't tend to like wearing stuff on their
faces if they can help it and I should think the first thing they are
going to try and do is scrape that thing off on a fence post and the
fields will be left full of plastic masks."
I mean, why not put masks on cows, right? They masked us up for two years, so what's the big deal?? I think putting masks on cows to fight climate change will be approximately as effective as masking people to prevent Covid. That is, not very effective. https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/04/29/prince-charles-prize-backs-face-mask- https://www.newsweek.com/prince-charles-climate-change-cows-masks-1701794 https://archive.ph/hSJKC
