The Washington Examiner’s Kaylee McGhee White blasted liberals’ concerns for the climate, saying their behavior counters other arguments made.
While speaking on Hannity about reports of cows being bred to be more climate-friendly, White said there is a larger problem at play within the “climate alarmism movement.”

“For people who think that climate change is such an immediate existential threat, they’re focused on the most immaterial things,” White told host Sean Hannity. “This will not come as a surprise to anyone because these are the same people who glued themselves to historic pieces of art, who block traffic for hours on end, forcing cars to sit idle and produce more emissions, and who jet all over the world in their private jets which produce more carbon dioxide than any dairy farm ever could.”
“They’re not focused on the things that matter, which seems to me as if they don’t think this is an issue at all,” White added.
A Canadian dairy farmer is reportedly set to breed cows that will burp less methane.
“Selectively breeding for lower emissions, as long as we’re not sacrificing other traits, seems like an easy win,” dairy farmer Ben Loewith said.
White joked that “as long as my steak comes out medium rare, I am not going to ask any questions.”
Fox News host Will Cain joined White and Hannity, questioning if the Left’s climate concern would stop with agriculture — all under the guise of an “existential threat.”

“It is definitively not an existential threat to humanity. Climate change does not threaten to wipe people off the face of the planet — that is what is meant by existential threat — but if you pretend like it will, then you can cover all manner of sin, any policy you want, any control over humanity,” Cain said.
“If you’re going to genetically modify things to reduce flatulence, you can start with locker rooms. I’ve got a couple teenage boys. You could start there. And how long until wives are like: ‘You know what, vasectomies are genetically altered so that you don’t make this a problem in our household or car anymore.’ This right here is a problem. I am making a joke, but you think it will stop the cows? No, this will move to humans. Maybe not this precise thing, but how can we alter humans in the future to be more planet-friendly?”
