SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation that regulates emissions from dairy cows and landfills for the first time as California broadens its efforts to fight climate change beyond carbon-based greenhouse gases.

Brown’s move Monday targets a category of gases known as short-lived climate pollutants, which have an outsize effect on global warming despite their relatively short life in the atmosphere.

California is the number one state in dairy production. People in other states will be paying for this too.

...short-lived climate pollutants, which have an outsize effect on global warming despite their relatively short life in the atmosphere.

How can they determine that?
How is Cow Methane, which is chemically identical to all other forms of Methane, more harmful than, say, Wetlands Methane, Volcanic Methane or Methane from any other living or decaying plant or critter?

Good, but I’d opt for Rhinoceros, except in this state, we have turned into sheep, not rhinos.

Seriously???? How does a farmer regulate cow farts? Is there a time during the day/night the cows can fart? Is there a fart time zone???

[Varmint Al]

Are bulls exempt?

My other dream is to have cafe where lefties huff cow farts in order to save the planet!

[Brilliant]

“California is the 4th largest cattle producer in the country.”

5th.. no wait, 6th... no wait, 7th...........

[simpson96]

So, how are they going to regulate emissions from dairy cows?

With corks?

Won’t work. In a survey from Cali, the majority of people said they would support minimum wage increases if they knew for sure it would cost jobs and make businesses move out of state. In a survey at the Dem convention the majority of people said they would support higher taxes on high earners even if they knew for sure that, due to the effect of the Laffer curve, it would result in no additional tax revenue. They don’t care about reality, even when they are slapped in the face with it.

“California is the 4th largest cattle producer in the country.”

[AuntB]

California needs a regulation against gassy politicians like JERRY BROWN!

[Amendment10]

Do low-information lawmakers in drought-striken California not understand that cow farts probably help plants to retain water during drought?
