Cow fart more damaging to planet than CO2 from cars

[temi]

Meet the world's top destroyer of the environment. It is not the car, or the plane,or even George Bush: it is the cow.
A United Nations report has identified the world's rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife. And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the oceans, from poisoning rivers and drinking water to destroying coral reefs.

Didn't know that.

I'm always learning something. Thanks

Too many cows and public demand for milk and meat is the problem

 

[melkior]

We should implant all the cows with catalyc converters.

Sure methan they produce is increasing the global greenhouse effect. But on the other hand if we reduced the exhaust gases and stopped cutting out the forests we would worry less about the 'cow-effect'...

The article is a distraction from the real problem

 

[Piotrek]

Yeah Melkior, or we could collect the gases cows produce and use them as fuel or for heating instead of oil&coal

This reminded me of a friend of mine that owned a large boat a few years ago. He was heavily into horses so called the boat Hoof-Hearted (Hoof being the horse connection) but when you read it out it sounded like whofarted

This reminds me of my daughters favourite joke at the moment.
There were three friends; Get Lost, Poo and Manners.
Poo fell down and Manners stayed behind to help him up, Get Lost kept walking on, then he was stopped by a Policeman.
"What is your name" asked the Policeman "Get Lost"
The Policeman was offended, he thought get lost was asking him to "Get Lost", so the Policeman said
"Where are your manners?" Get Lost replied
"Around the corner picking up Poo"
