Dr. Frank Mitloehner at UC Davis has done an excellent job at scientifically debunking the anti animal agriculture wackos; with sound science:

He’s a good guy that Freepers should follow.
A flock of said fitted cows congregating under a tree in a rainstorm....

A flock of cows? I thought it was a bevy of cows.
Time to start buying grass or grain finished beef from local sources. That way they won't be able to measure because the cattle won't all be gathered up in large numbers like they are at feed lots.
“the time of megaflora and megafauna?”
What do you think is the percentage of Americans who have ever even heard those words before let alone know that they mean?
sorry, gave all those to Ukraine
LOL, mea culpa.
For ten thousand years there were 60 million bison on the Great Plains EVERY YEAR . -ozarkbisons.com
There are 5 million cows in California.
They are worried about .000001% methane?
These people belong in an insane asylum.
Methane has a very specific spectral signature in the infrared and near infrared bands. It is easily detectable from orbit. Humans have used the same spectral lines to look for methane on Mars and also into deep space on exoplanets. With high resolution multi spectral orbital imaging it would be easy to spot methane from space. This method is used to spot leaks in pipelines and also from tank batteries from airborne multispec and orbital as well. Tech has gotten down to the one meter resolution from orbit much less if you have access to classified imaging means.
I hold a master’s in remote sensing, and a National geospatial intelligence certification as well. So I’m a expert in this field. Sensing the methane is not all that hard. The question is does it matter on a planetary scale the likely answer is not at all given how much methane is released naturally from swamps, ocean seeps, ocean hydrates, permafrost hydrates act.
I’m investing in GasX stock right away.
Methane is generated by a very unusual parasitic class of bacteria called methanogens, not the cattle themselves. They survive by stealing energy from other life forms. Trace amounts of oxygen kill them. They die easily, much more so than other farming pests.
Yep! They signal what they’re going to do in advance.
time to re-direct the satellite toward DC.
I heard once that termites produce a lot of methane. Can that be detected by satellite, too?
Demo rats opened their month, typical bull.
… time to re-direct the satellite toward DC...
Exactly!
My headline: Pinkos hate Cows
Good answer; I accept that. Thanks.
Bull sh*t.
If the Biden administration would worry less about insignificant crap like this & more about important things like adequate gas & oil drilling, the economy or the southern border, just think how much better off we’d be. How many years might cow belches have been going on & what has happened as a measurable destructive result of it as compared to the things directly affecting our economy right now? We’d all be measurably better off if the brainiacs in D.C. used their brains instead of sitting on them.
