Let us consider the farmer in this country who is producing methane, and then consider some body that is operating vehicles, for example, Irish Rail with trains that are not carbon efficient, if methane is gone within ten years and is less harmful why do we concentrate so heavily on the farmer when there is another sector producing lots of carbon emissions? Why do we concentrate so heavily, and continually penalise, the agricultural sector to meet their targets?
