X. Benedict Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Please Coach and Keg don't make this political. I would like to keep to the serious topic of cows and their farts. I have now learned that it is all mammals and feel bad for cows. This is not a political argument. Democrats and Republicans need to discuss if we as people should exterminate all mammals from the planet so that it remains safe for insects, plants, humans, reptiles, birds, snakes, dogs, cats, and amphibians. It would not be a pretty thing to do, but it may be necessary. In the short term, it could help refrigeration companies which will help the economy. 645406[/snapback] Right now I am pretty angry at the people in India, they don't eat enough cows, and are contributing to global warming. But you are right about cows getting an undue amount of blame. Cows should be trained to eat mammals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It's a good plan, unless eating beef gives you the toots. 645378[/snapback] Stop taking the focus off the cows. This is why we have global warming. People keep forgetting about the cows. EAT A COW AND SAVE THE PLANET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Wow, what flavor koolaide did they give you? 645386[/snapback] The fact it, he's right. The earth wrams, the earth cools. Its cyclical. Kinda like the increased hurricane activity cycle we are in the middle of right now. Sure humans arent helping the problem, but to say WE are causing warming is laughable.

Beerball Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I saw a program recently that tried to connect the various disappearances of aircraft and ships in the Bermuda Triangle to methane discharges from the sea floor. Large gas bubbles were able to overturn ships, and once released into the air they made an airplanes instrumentation go to pot. Now ieat has me thinking, are whales to blame for the Bermuda Triangle? I would have to assume that a flock of whales can cut loose some serious gas. Someone should investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link My question is if the cows and other mammals caused the problem in the first place, why not exclude them from the return trip? Just bring back humans, reptiles, plants, etc. We would not want to start the process all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen anything indicating fish are to blame. Also, fish are in the ocean, not on Earth, so global warming would not impact them. The bermuda triangle is a myth easily explained by mathematics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Our planet has gone through hot and cold cycles for millions of years, to blame Humans or cows for the current warming trend is absurd. But never the less I try and eat plenty of cows. 645329[/snapback] You're right, the planet has fluctuated between periods of hot and cold for millions and millions of years. The problem is that there is pretty strong evidence that the atmospheric concentration of "greenhouse" gases (CO2, Methane, CO, etc.) is increasing steadily and has been especially since the industrial revolution. Now, there is no definitive link that says this fact automatically causes global warming. It could just be a change in earth's climate patterns. Even if this is the case, I feel like the increase in these gases in the atmosphere (which can be directly linked to human activity) sure as hell won't help the situation. Some people brush it off as nonsense but that just isn't the case. The earth IS getting warmer and avg temperatures are increasing. The debate should be more about the relationship between greenhouse gases and the earth's warming trend, not merely if its happening. Even for those who think 100% it's just a climate trend, be aware that many processes in nature (carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, etc) are delicate processes that have finite limits in their rates of turnover. If we keep putting more and more "stuff" into them, it will continue to accumulate. Bottom line is that driving SUVs or running factories won't throw the world into a "the day after tomorrow" situation, but our actions do have the potential to change the dynamics of some of these cycles, producing unpredictable results.

Why not cows, or mammals in general? People aren't farting all of this methane. Mammals are. Wouldn't all the methane cranked out by SUVs and factories for 100 years, pale in comparison to millions of years of cow farts? Should we shut all of our factories? Wouldn't exterminating cows and all mammals be easier and more productive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to slaughter all the cows, but we might have to do it. If we do, I say we slaughter ALL MAMMALS to make the earth safe for humans.

The rainforests of the world give off more CO2 than all other parts combined. Level the rainforests and our problems are solved. As an added bonus you get to have stake for dinner.

A hundred years of cars and planes. Lots of CO2? Something doesn't add up. P.S. Don't trees produce CO2? I'm not sure, but I think there are more trees in the world than cars. It's probably at least pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald Reagan warned us about cow farting and global warming years ago, so now it is time to pay attention, first we go after the cows, and then we go after the trees. Some people want to blame sea mammals like sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
