Washington politicians? They need to work on their intelligence and loyalty first.

“My tax dollars at work.”

At least, it gave me a good laugh. Better than 99% of the things they throw my money at.

The Environmental Protection Agency says that methane is 28 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and atmospheric levels of it have reached 1,800 parts per billion.

You know, I sort of thought the atmosphere smelled like sheep farts this morning.

1800 ppb = 1.8 ppm = 0.00018 %

That's right, boys and girls! 18 hundred-thousandths of a percent. Break out the gas masks.

I mean these politicians are spewing too much gas and anything to reduce it would be helpful.

But can they “Fly” like the ones on Monty Python or will they just ‘plummet’?

Try some activated charcoal masks and pant liners then.

"Did you hear about the government program to modify sheep farts? They're trying to make them not smell as baaaad. I think that's an offal waste of taxpayer money"

Can we clone/replace politicians, too, but swap their mouths with another orifice?

Seriously...priorities...

I’m glad it’s YOUR tax dollars at work. I’d be really pi$$ed if MY money were spent on such bunkum. I can rest easy this night.

Their flesh, of course, causes disease, but, hey, who cares as long as there’s a net saving in methane.

Everyone knows we should all long since have gone back to living in caves and picking lice so that we don’t impact the environment.
