News item :: Will getting cows to belch less reduce Global Warming?
Answer:
Maybe. But a more effective approach would be to eat less beef, so there are fewer cows and less need to plow down the rainforest to raise more.
We need to eat more beef to help speed up the process to kill them so they cannot burp.
I am NOT giving up my burgers, even if it means eventually I can cook them on the hood of my car.
The better solution is to genetically engineer cows to crap ice cream and belch perfume.
Nonsense. The excess greenhouse gasses that are causing global warming have an isotopic signature consistent with fossil fuels. Cow belch has an isotopic signature consistent with renewable carbon resources (i.e. grass). This is not the problem. You are making a joke out of a very serious crisis situation.
Okay, here's how I see it. Both sides are politicizing the issue more than they should, but what's really reprehensible is that the anti-environmentalists are using their refusal to believe in global warming as an excuse to refuse to change any of their irresponsible and planet-harming ways. Whether you believe in global warming or not should be totally irrelevant. There are other indisputable reasons why we need to reduce emissions. Here in Phoenix, and in other major metropolitan areas, we frequently have ozone advisories, warning even healthy active adults to stay inside or minimize their outdoor activities. In case you don't know, most ozone comes from car exhaust fumes, power plants and other man-made sources of nitrous oxides. Will people have to start dropping dead in the streets before you recognize that unhealthy air is a bad thing?
It's not from them belching..it's the other end...and cows do not produce enough gas to really affect anything.industries are the bigger problem. And the amount of vehicles on the road. And the amount of electricity used. And oil burned.
It will make a small impact on global warming. As your article states:
"Agriculture is responsible for about seven percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK"
So decreasing cow belching won't have a very significant effect on global warming overall.
I am pretty sure that cows have been around for lots of years on Earth... If they can be considered as partial cause of global warming, then everything else can be blamed as well.
In fact, I guess it is time to cut down all the trees too. FYI, trees also produces lots of "green-house gas" for long hours during night time...
good god...
Same stupid statement/question for the hundredth time, at least.
O.K. that is just dumb.
Give them Gas-x.
