Taxpayer funds needed to study if cow fart methane concentration higher among farting cows

Aw come on! You could have paid me $400,000 to tell you that since farting cows produce methane, there would be more methane where there are more cows.

   Yep. One cow=one pound of methane a day. Though mostly belching, not farting.

   On other news: over the history of humanity, CO2 emissions from farming (losses of soil organic matter due to soil disturbance) is about twice that of all fossil fuel burning. Oops.

   I have a question. In the past the western United States had millions of bison. Do these animals not belch and fart ? If thed did how did it affect the climate?

   You’re thinking about it Jimmer. The idea behind this entire hoax is that you won’t do that. You can see why they tried so hard to slam the door shut with “the science is settled” last year.
