“Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new study finds​

Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in check.

The Earth’s climate has undergone some big changes, from global volcanism to planet-cooling ice ages and dramatic shifts in solar radiation. And yet life, for the last 3.7 billion years, has kept on beating.

Now, a study by MIT researchers in Science Advances confirms that the planet harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the brink, keeping global temperatures within a steady, habitable range.

Just how does it accomplish this? A likely mechanism is “silicate weathering” — a geological process by which the slow and steady weathering of silicate rocks involves chemical reactions that ultimately draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and into ocean sediments, trapping the gas in rocks.

Scientists have long suspected that silicate weathering plays a major role in regulating the Earth’s carbon cycle. The mechanism of silicate weathering could provide a geologically constant force in keeping carbon dioxide — and global temperatures — in check. But there’s never been direct evidence for the continual operation of such a feedback, until now…”

Does anyone think the Globalists/WEFers will stop killing our meat animals or stop trying to force us SERFS to eat worms, crickets and cockroaches ? Yeah, me either!
 
Pasture raised vs feed lot is a bit of a misnomer. A lot of cattle are raised on pasture and then put on a feed lot for a couple of weeks before finally being processed into meat for market. Feeding corn is very expensive, much more so than grazing.

Large corporate farms are the ones that cram cattle into areas void of grass.

Exactly. They call it corn "finishing" for a reason.
