It’s not yet clear exactly how the word “conserve” will be applied to the 30% of lands and oceans that proponents are touting be done by 2030. However, President Biden has penned his support and put into motion the process of planning to meet this proposal. Biden signed a Jan. 27 executive order, creating the National Climate Task Force consisting of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and other department heads.
According to the order, the “Task Force shall facilitate the organization and deployment of a government-wide approach to combat the climate crisis.

It’s true that he (or she) released greenhouse gas into the air, but the idea that cows’ belching is a significant contributor to the climate change crisis? Not so much. Unlike carbon, which persists in the atmosphere for centuries, the life cycle of methane is only about 12 years. That’s resulted in “a misinterpretation of methane’s role in warming the climate,” according to researchers at the University of California, Davis.
