SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California plans to install a network of computerized monitors to measure methane emissions from regions that are home to dairy ranches, farms, landfills and other sources.

It will be the first network of its kind in the United States and will help the state take another step toward reducing emissions of the gases related to global warming.

By May, seven devices about the size of a personal computer will be placed in regions of the state where methane emissions are believed to be the highest. Those include the farm fields of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys and landfills in the Los Angeles basin.

"What we'll be able to do is to find the identity, the location and the strength of methane emissions within the state," said Jorn Herner, the scientist managing the program at the California Air Resources Board. "This is new and pioneering work."

It is astounding isn’t it, that even though "Global Warming” (climate change) is being shown to be a fraud, these jackasses’ keep pushing this c*#p. Either they don’t read, or there are more sinister motives behind it. I think it is both.

You could have a LOT of fun “GASSING” the units! Maybe we could have a little friendly competition between counties?

Why don’t they just develop the methane-seeking missile?

Put the sources out of their misery.

It is a good thing California has found a use for all that surplus money it has.

It isn’t like they are cutting services to its citizens or trying to illegally raise fees and taxes. No way.

No budget problems to be solved, time to do expensive symbolic gestures!

Liberal bureaucrats are like dogs chasing their tails.

But the tax payers are supplying the dog chow.

God, how I love Taco Bell.

I usually get a grilled-stuft steak burrito, a Volcano Taco and a Regular Crunchy taco.

Taco Bell is a sign that God loves us and wants His children to be happy.

Install the first one at the State House in Sacramento.
I understand the bullshit generates lots of gases.

It is entirely possible to see and hear only liberal viewpoints, if one so chooses, and thus avoid the truth, whatever it is regarding “climate change.” The same is not true for our side- liberalism pervades most of the country’s media.
