    I've been on a roll in this environment forum and am kind of burning out on the subject but stuff like this keeps popping up and I just can't help myself. LOL
    Now we are back to cow farts? Apparently they cause 4% of our C02 output according to this article so I hope all you true believes are vegetarians. What really strikes me funny about this is that this isn't even industrial revolution "pollution" and you don't get a lot more natural than farts from bovines. These out of touch with reality warmers seen seem to forget that before man arrived millions if not billions of buffalo roamed America farting and belching to their hearts content. Then you have Africa that has lost most of it's major herbivores in comparison to what once was. Oh and then there's the wolly Mammoth era,I bet they farted a lot and don't get me started on dinosaurs. Oh wait I know. Maybe they farted themselves out of existence. Maybe that solves the mystery of what happened to them. Do you guys ever listen to yourselves? You are good for a laugh for the rest of us though.

    "The burps for the cows — it is more burps than farts — contribute about ... 4 percent of greenhouse gas emissions," says one U.N. expert."

    BIERE, Switzerland — Cows burp and fart more than they need to, according to a Swiss firm that says it has developed a feed that cuts methane emissions from livestock — helping to combat global warming into the bargain.

    A single cow produces the equivalent of about three tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, says Agolin, based in Biere, near Lausanne. Co-founder and managing director Kurt Schaller told Reuters its specialist feed can reduce that by 10 percent."

    One more comment on this AGW movement. As you can see some people are using this hysteria as a cash cow. Pun intended.

    I realize you are just chewing your cud on this one...…..

    I have a great concern as a result of this effort to limit cow farts.

    As with all things, one thing leads to another.

    If given the power and authority, will GW'ers demand some form of human catalytic converter be worn by humans?

    I mean, there are what, almost 8 billion emission sources currently on the planet......

    Trolling, you mean.

    And now you're admitting it. Was that a mistake, letting a little honesty through?

    No, they don't. The article didn't say that. Being you have a grade-school level of science knowledge, you don't know the difference between CO2 and methane.

    So why are you bothering the adults with your childish prattle? Oh that's right, you're trolling.
