Bill Nye: Global Warming Could Be Solved By Cows Genetically Engineered To Cut Less Farts
Daily Caller ^ | March 29, 2017 | Andrew Follett

Global warming could be solved by genetically engineering or breeding cows to fart less Bill "The Science Guy" Nye said in an interview Tuesday.

[Snip]

Nye was responding to a question from a vegan on how eating meat could reduce the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

[Snip]

Environmentalists are very interested in reducing methane from cow farts, with some groups like Friends of the Earth pressuring public schools to switch their lunch menus away from beef to reduce emissions.

The Obama administration released a methane plan in 2014 that called for reducing emissions from the dairy industry 25 percent. That meant finding ways to capture or reduce emissions from cow farts and burps. Republican lawmakers, however, were quick to criticize the White House’s proposal, arguing the government could end up taxing cow farts.

I'm glad I grew up with Don Herbert (Mr. Wizard)

"Born in Waconia, Minnesota, Herbert was a general science and English major at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (then called La Crosse State Normal College) who was interested in drama. His career as an actor was interrupted by World War II when he enlisted in the United States Army as a Private. Herbert later joined the United States Army Air Forces, took pilot training, and became a B-24 bomber pilot who flew 56 combat missions from Italy with the 767th Bomb Squadron, 461st Bomb Group of the Fifteenth Air Force. When Herbert was discharged in 1945 he was a Captain and had earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters."

“So, he is really a stand-up comedian?”

He used to play on a local Seattle clone of SNL (but actually funny) in the 90s.

Yup....that’s him.

For a self proclaimed scientist to believe in the concept of anthropogenic global warming, yet seem to have no idea how to use the Ideal Gas Law indicates he is not a scientist, but a priest.

In either case, he is a liberal dope.

The thing that bugs me about “climate change” is the assumption we could fix or cause it. Humans are less than gnats compared to the vast scope of the universe or even our planet. It is all a form of humanism. IMO, we could pop off all nuclear weapons and the earth would be “meh”.

We are simply not that powerful. Now, if yellowstone popped. That would be something. Or if the sun decided to burn us up, etc.

And how does he plan to deal with underwater volcanoes which produce far more methane gas? Seems to me nature rather than man is the major cause of climate change.

More words that are as meaningless as those uttered by liberals in search of something to crow about.

Can I retroactively genetically engineer my husband for this purpose? ;)

(j/k, Honey, if you ever see this!)

Bill Nye the crazy guy. I loved his angry insane look when Tucker Carlson took him on. He kept repeating that he was angry because global warming was keeping the ice age from returning.

That, sir, is what we call a legitimate objection. Thank you for posting it.

No problem. If he weren’t such a lib, I probably wouldn’t rake him over the coals as much, but...you know how that goes!

In Nye’s case that Cornell BS in Mechanical Engineering really pays off!
