Times247 ^ | 5/6/12 | Pamela Owen

Dinosaurs may be partly to blame for a change in climate because they created so much flatulence, according to leading scientists.

Professor Graeme Ruxton of St Andrews University, Scotland, said the giant animals spent 150 years emitting the potent global warming gas, methane. ...

I totally agree. Tell a ship in the middle of an ocean during a vicious storm that man controls the climate.

Oh, now I get it. This looks like a joke, but it is probably just another Obama campaign stunt, it being frequently difficult to ascertain the difference.

We must re-elect 0 or we will go the way of the dinosaurs.

While this article scores high on conventional wisdom and political relevance, it is absurd. There is geological evidence for the comet but none for this sudden overheating. The climate was quite hot then in comparison with today. Geological evidence supports the dinosaurs being in decline near the end. The climate has been in a constant state of change forever. Oh well, I’m sure this will go over well with the folks that want to kill 90% of us to save Gaia.

This article illustrates the point that Western Science is reaching the bottom!( Pun intended)

It goes hand-in-hand with this bit of info from National Geographic. Had there been 'flatulence cards' back then, all could be well today...

Sorry, you cannot publish that theory unless you have a government-funded research grant.

And people think I’m silly for wondering about the effect of whale farts on today’s oceans...

I know the atmosphere in our home changes when my husband has flatulence.

This is just the Left’s lazy assed inane excuse for continuing the AGW (I guess now we should include DGV for Dinosaur) myth. They do this because they are willing to lie often and hard enough to make their imbecile, leeching ass constituency believe what they spew. If it weren’t so pitiful, it would be funny. About all I can think of now is that masterpiece movie, “The Gods Must Be Crazy.”

Me too - Edgar Cayce said the Atlantean’s nuked the dinosaurs and that we would discover a way to date things using carbon then discover we were wrong - at the turn of the 20th century.

Democrat and Republican naked ambition.

No one gives a flying flip about our country. It’s all about the money.

Then we are truly doomed. The dinosaurs’ farting is no match for the gas spewing from both ends of Democrats these days. Stick a cork in both ends of a lib to stop global warming, yeah, that’s the ticket.
