Buffalo farts are much bigger than cow farts. Long ago there were millions of bison in North America, far more bison than we have cows. If the bison farts weren’t a problem for the climate, why should cow farts be a problem?
I will eat a cheeseburger today while the idiots fail to explain that one.
Yeah it’s going to be impossible for me to gulp this down. No thanks. This stupid article presupposes that this fraud of a theory is legitimate. The article is a fallacy by its very premise with or without the plug for fake meat.
The Left doesn’t care about Climate Change.
The Left doesn’t care about Carbon Emissions.
The Left doesn’t care about animal suffering.
The Left wants social change so that they can control the population. Impossible Burgers will not help and will not hinder. The Left will move past Impossible Burgers and seek other levers to move society toward tyranny.
There are no solutions because the Left is only looking for problems.
You know, now that you mention it I did detect some slight flatulence residue on my Whopper yesterday. I thought it was just the smell of grill smoke—but now I’m not so sure. I’ll have another one today to confirm.
I’d say “The Impossible Whopper” makes a pretty good moniker for the Green New Deal.
Good of him to broadcast his stupidity early in the article. Spares some of us from having to read it.
Whether that grass is digested by cows or ultimately by bacteria and other microorganisms, gas is released into the atmosphere.
[[To fend off radicalism such as that of the Green New Deal, there has to be a reckoning with the reality of climate change and a movement toward innovation, not intense regulation, to address it.]]
This already concedes the argument to the left.
If the maker of the Impossible Whopper can make a product that is a viable alternative (equivalent taste, consistency, etc.) more power to them. That is the free market at its finest. They may succeed, or fail miserably like McDonald’s foray into the soy-burger realm. The only issue I have is anyone saying that this is a means to combat the fraudulent claims of anthropogenic climate change.
Top Ten Burger King EPIC FAILS.

I see #11 in their future.
I haven't eaten meat in years! (Except seafood, which I like)
Beef--pork--poultry--they all creep me out! And lamb--of all things! Veal! The cruelty is a complete turn-off! (Nothing turns me off like cruelty!)
I'm a doctor, and eating flesh is about like eating human flesh to me. Ugh!
My wife and I seek out Burger King on long trips because their Veggie Burgers are good.
I don't like black bean burgers or similar substitutes, but the eggplant burger's not bad.
No turkey for me on Thanksgiving! Christmas either!
But now at last I can help save the world from the fictional threat of "Climate Change"! And without changing a thing!
It's like saving the world from The Blob--or The Lizard that Ate Philadelphia--or something!
I had no idea that the ickiness of flesh eating would one day save the world! (If not from a real threat, at least from a delusion!)
I say 1 month at most and BK then drops it.
Cow Manure, the author accepts and promotes a false premise, the elimination of cows will not significantly alter methane on the planet.
No thanks. Hell, even if I didn't like meat, I'd keep eating it just because it pisses off all the right people.
A San Francisco company called Impossible Foods just announced a partnership with Burger King to offer an alternative to animal meat on the burger menu, and besides being delicious, it could be huge for the fight against climate change.

This “news” article is nothing but a PR release by Burger King. The media today are a toxic mix of ignorant, arrogant, and lazy. F’ them all.
I thought all burgers at BK were made with a beef alternative.
If it comes from Booger King (no misspelling), it’s got to be horrible.
The “Green New Dea;” will be the end od the world and if implemented immediately it may complete in the forecast 12 years?
Why?
Because while regulating cow farts building codes airplanes cars etc, it will begin the first stage of carbon abatement by removing all the CO2 in the atmosphere before moving on to stage two which will remove all other greenhouse gasses including water vapor.
How they and we will live past the end of stage one is a good question, but no one will survive the end of stage two. Mars will look more habitable when they are finished.
