Not to worry, Californians. If you begin hearing loud explosions coming from rural areas, it's just the California Air Resources Board saving the planet.

Right. And their beloved wetlands restoration doesn’t produce any methane.

Dave Barry wrote once about weaponizing exploding cows.
“Look out! He’s got a cow!”
“Could blow any second! I just heard its final death moo!”

The other goofy thing is a cow’s stomach is multi chambered and processes feed to a greater extent than monogastric animals. If you were to measure the amount of methane as a result of processing monogastric waste versus ruminant waste you would probably come up with a similar amount of methane.

Not exactly. Cows belch a lot as well. It is how they spit their cud back up from the first stomach to rechew so it may pass to the other stomach chambers.

And, if those flatulent cows stand on the beach on the island of Guam, it’s in danger of capsizing.

Politicians expel at least as much foul gas. Perhaps the good Lord will relieve us of politicians by exploding them ?

Perhaps someone should inform the brainiacs on the CARB that decaying plants produce... methane. The cow just speeds up the process.

Problem with California isn’t the cows. It’s the smug.
