(LA Times)   The Los Angeles Times wants you to know that while it's tough to take cow flatulence seriously, it's no joke. Adds that it's a "silent but deadly source of greenhouse gases." But remember: It's no joke   (latimes.com) divider line

I tried to submit this comment twice with a Johnny Carson tag ie, and the system stripped it. What's up with that?

hmmm...

with the right food, the right tools and a staff with no sense of smell, you could probably milk the farts out of these cows and sell it!

If you've found a "finger," I think you may be dealing with a bull.

See, this is the problem. A modern, western, first world standard of living (which includes lots of people eating lots of meat, amoung other things) causes global warming. Unless you want to drastically change the way you live, global warming is not solvable by legislation or technology attempting to lower greenhouse gases, IMHO.

I think the only solution would be for scientists to artifically create global cooling.

I have an idea. Methane is a more harmful greenhouse gas than CO2 so I say we attach pilot lights to cow asses so the methane burns into less harmful CO2.

Every time I drive on the 5 up to the Bay Area and pass the cow wasteland I have always wondered about the methane gas in the air and if my car is getting better fuel economy. Even if it's just slightly, it's still sucking it in and burning it.

Well, all these people calling for making a Glass Parking Lot (tm) out of the Middle East would also trigger a Nuclear Winter (tm) would it not? Problem solved!

The science here, while seemingly silly, is quite valid. Eating meat causes global warming. I would not be surprised if PETA doesn't run an ad about this at some point (featuring naked celebrities, of course).

How many buffalo used to fart in the US until they were wiped out?
Which farts more?
