Attention Climate Commies: Your Cow Farteth Over

Regulate all the carbon dioxide you want, greenies, it's your future burgers that are really doing the damage.

Methane’s impact on global temperatures is about a third higher than generally thought because previous estimates have not accounted for its interaction with airborne particles called aerosols, Nasa scientists found.

When this indirect effect of the potent greenhouse gas is included one tonne of methane has about 33 times as much effect on the climate over 100 years as a tonne of carbon dioxide, rather than 25 times as in standard estimates.

Thirty-three times more damage than CO2.

Obviously, breaking the back of the U.S. economy and financially burdening citizens with a Cap & Tax scheme that focuses on carbon dioxide is the sensible way to go at this problem, right?

For the record, the gas is expelled by cows’ burps.

I am thinking it's time to shut down NASA.

They can't seem to understand basic earth science, so they have no business poking their noses in the great celestial beyond.

damn funny!

I've read numerous times over the years that a vegetarian diet causes one to release much more methane gas than a mixed diet. If NASA is correct above, then we may have to force the vegetarians to eat meats, or tax them heavily for all the methane they are releasing.

Hey, this totalitarian social engineering and taxing is fun!
