THROOP, N.Y. (AP) -- How hot is it in upstate New York? So hot that horse manure is bursting into flames.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation says it received multiple complaints July 5 about the smell and smoke emanating from a burning pile of horse manure at a property in the town of Throop, in the Finger Lakes region 20 miles west of Syracuse.

Obviously a result of Man-Made Global Warming^TM

I thought Hillary was still in Philly? They did say last night she was a ‘workhorse’.

[1rudeboy]

OMG! That’s a picture of a horse I looked-after for years!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Too easy.

Strange. My manure pile is not burning and I’m in Alabama. It’s sure a lot hotter here. Some people used to burn their manure piles instead of composting, spreading or selling the stuff.

Even under near-freezing conditions, intense anaerobic decomposition can result in the phenomenon known as spontaneous combustion.

Has nil to do with alleged anthropogenic global warming.

If you think about it, manure is not really that bad a word. I mean, it’s ‘newer’, which is good, and a ‘ma’ in front of it, which is also good. Ma-newer , right?

FYI it generates its own heat

[AFreeBird]

Don’t confuse the idiots with facts. They can’t process it.

I call BS on this one. I’ve been in the fire department here near Phoenix, Arizona for more than 20 years and have NEVER heard of a case of the spontaneous combustion of manure. Oily rags, yes; manure, no. If it was going to happen anywhere, it would happen here.

Actually, a major issue is the large amount of methane gas from that manure pile. One little spark and a major fire erupts.

I would add, if they’ve got manure piles burning, either something else is mixed in with them, or someone is lighting them on fire.

[Brilliant]

Egad. And there are is a lot of horse manure in New York.

[I want the USA back]

Must be deblasio. He thinks he’s hot $h!t.

[Robwin]

Why not just move all the horses to NYC? The people there would never even notice the smell.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Maybe the Democrats should have held their convention in NYC because they WANT their BS to catch fire.
