In a much-disputed report released Monday, the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District determined that a cow annually emits 19.3 pounds of volatile organic compounds, the gases that contribute to smog. That's 50 percent more than currently thought.

At that new rate, dairies in the San Joaquin Valley produce more than 50 tons of VOCs a day, exceeding the amount released by cars and light trucks in the region by nearly 20 tons a day, district officials said.

volatile organic compounds :}

Got VOC?

When are they going to control that bovine wind coming from the Air Regulators Board?

Smog is Cow Farts !!!

Soy milk, the hippy cure all

By the way, who got the job to sample the "air". Thought my job sucked

The cattle were in California before the surfers and Hollyweird.

Triple the price of milk to the Enviro-Nazis.

Tell them you will dump the milk and sell them to McDonalds.


Let's see them try to slap on laws to stop you.


This is a PETA agenda scam.


Tell them where to stuff their Cattle-Lytic Converters.

Let them tax their cats and dogs.


Cattle do not run around urban areas dumping on sidewalks and neighbor's lawns.

That is a classic quote from a farmer at the end of the article that puts the whole thing in perspective.

[HereInTheHeartland]

"It a joke," he said. "Common sense tells me that I doubt cows are producing more than cars. Would you rather sit in your garage with your car running, or sit in a garage with a cow all night?"

There's a Hillary joke in there somewhere.

[B Knotts]

I betcha Michael Moore puts out plenty of volatile organic compounds.

Will California force him to be fitted with a catalytic converter when he's in the state?

Seriously, this crap is just more goofy veganism/nature worship masquerading as science.

I guess if anyone wants to sell a cow now they will have to get a smog check on the cow. It will be the seller's expense of course. Maybe we can do away with smog checks on cars since cows are the real culprit:)

Enviro weenies are just pitiful in the way they keep coming up with this stuff.

I think I will invent a new smog control device that you can shove up a cow's a**. I will probably make a fortune!

There was a skit on SNL wrt this topic. Center for Cow Fart Studies. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/03/03dcow.phtml

Air regulators said Monday that dairies are the number one source of smog-producing pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, producing more than even cars and light trucks.

Re phased to tell the true:

Air regulators said Monday that CARB is the number one source of smog-producing pollution in the state of California, producing more than even cars and light trucks.

CARB = California Air Resource Board = bunch of wind bags spewing out new regulations to hurt everyone. If you live in California, watch and see what kind of vehicles the people from CARB drive. Big vans, SUVs (new ones of course) and light trucks.

I was delivering gasoline to a service station one night when a van parked across the road from and watched me. After a while, a guy walked over and told me he needed to climb on top of my tanker and check for leaks. I proceeded to explain to him if he even touched my truck, someone would have to call an ambulance for him. After that, he showed me his ID and I told him he better get more people to help him cuz he wasn't going on top of my truck. He finally walked away and gave my company a $5000 fine due to refusal to allow a vehicle to be tested. We contested it and won. The judge said himself if someone approached him in the middle of the night and flashed an ID at him, he would find his foot up his #ss. Ever since 9-11, every tanker driver I know is reconsidering a safer line of work.

Soon to see headline:
"To meet the new rules and regulations the dairy farmers have today raised prices 100% on all milk products."
