Scientists say cow farts are partly responsible for Global Warming!

This is the first I have heard of this. I find it kind of funny what about the 3 billion humans that are fart each day? And what do you do about it. It is natural they need to go back and try to make electric cars or something they can change not the way an animal or person farts.

This came from a UN study in 2007 called "Livestock's Long Shadow". CO2 has a half life of around 80 years in the atmosphere, whereas methane, which is what they are talking about, has a half life of around 11 years. Methane is a much more efficient greenhouse gas than CO2, however, but whether either of them have much effect on global warming is not as apparent as has been so shamelessly claimed. The point is, that 11 years ago, cattle production was little different from today, so the increase in methane is negligible. Also, intensive cattle production requires fewer animals that produce less methane, another amusing Catch-22 for the confused environmental movement.

Who ever is responsible for approving the research funding to document the effects of cow farts to global warming needs to have their heads examined. This is a shame and a waste of money.

yea really. LOL. Course this isn't new. They've been doing research on cows and sheeps for a while now. I know when I was in high school (over 14 years ago) my Biology teacher mentioned that it was believed that cows were contributing to the problem. Sheep are also named as culprits.
