Why, don't you know that cows are a major source of methane? They're a serious greenhouse gas problem in Ontario here, seeing how there's more of them in the province than people  |
Funny you mention that CCIP... I live in Gooding County, an area located in south central Idaho. Huge dairy industry. More dairy cows than people as well.

B.E.L.C.H. As global warming increases, and most agree it has regardless of the cause, ruminant raisers are going to become conversant in a new field of science called "Bovine Emissions Lately Considered Hazardous," or B.E.L.C.H.
The study of B.E.L.C.H. will revolve around a simple formula: greenhouse gas emissions per pound of beef produced.
It is obvious, if the world truly wanted to reduce methane and nitrous oxide (two of the big three greenhouse gases), they could destroy all ruminants. For the sake of the economy and human survival, we should first have a mass eradication of all wildlife species that produce those two gases.

Once again a complex series of issues is beaten down to two dimensions by a lumpen hammer. Ah well.

Ah yes. But it was a
"recycled" lumpen hammer...
