They don’t fart?
“Can Elephants Save the Planet? These Majestic Animals Are Key to Capturing Atmospheric Carbon (only 7.98 years left)”
great ... now the Democrat fascists will mandate that everyone will have to own an elephant ... “to save the planet”
We can expect this level of BS to continue as long as government grant money flows. Only turning off the money spigot will stop the flow of effluent so offensive to our intelligence.
“Can Elephants Save the Planet?”
No. If greenies really want to make a “carbon” difference...
1. Kill ALL termites. (forget about “cow” farts)
2. Ban ALL carbonated soft drinks. (Beer is exempt)
No sarc tag because those 2 things would reduce carbon in the atmosphere by a YUGE amount, yet they want us to all hold our breath (involuntarily if necessary).
The best thing an elephant could do is to stomp the author of this article into a pile of goo.
The earth does not need to be “saved”.
Elephants would save the world if there weren’t so many donkeys around.
What a marvelous and joyful coincidence that a majorly well-loved and endangered (and profitable) species suddenly hold one of the keys to saving the Earff.
Elephants good, cows bad?
To help the planet, built more nuclear power plants, which produce energy by converting long-lived radionuclides to shorter-lived radionucldes.
By this articles logic, cows are the perfect animals as they don’t eat trees at all and eat only low density plains(grass)
Save the planet, eat more beef,!!
Regardless of the “carbon” arguments:
Elephants are very social and sensitive animals.
There was a man who worked with elephants in a region in Africa for many years, in wild life preserves and in the wild. He knew many of the herds and knew and could distinguish individual elephants he knew. He provided medical help to many elephants, and he could visit their herds without them fearing him.
Elephants mourn for their dead. They will stand over their lost ones for hours and even days, as if on a vigil.
The fellow I was talking about died. When he died, an elephant matriarch and two of her herds, by some instinctual way, went to the man’s village and to his house, as if to visit him, standing vigil there for a long time - a journey that must have taken them twelve hours.
It is unknown how the elephants knew their human friend had died.
What we REALLY need is a herd of Mammoths - get those gene splicing scientists to work!
