It wasn't my fault! Honest!..............

Save the planet! Eat a Beaver!

And they make nice coats too — although prickly around the face. Sheared beaver is nicer around the chin.

Bob Costas will be devastated.

But what happens when the wood of a dead tree becomes submerged beneath the water of a dam built by a beaver?

This is so exciting!

If beavers can sequester this much carbon by building dams and keeping dead trees under water, then just think how much carbon humans can sequester by turning dead trees into lumber and keeping it under paint or siding!

I was at the Berlin Zoo today and thought I saw a beaver but was told it is a water pig. Thing was huge. I wanted to shoot half the animals in the zoo.

Yep. Beavers make men buy fast cars. Fast cars use more gas and produce more greenhouse gases. Some beavers are so hot that they create their own climate change. Of course, some beavers are cold as hell, but they just get ignored and really don’t offset the hot ones at all.

Who would have thought that beavers impact the environment/S

I wonder how much she was paid to find this startling information.

[PGR88]

This isn’t going to end well.

[Sherman Logan]

Idiotic.

Most beaver dams have a lifespan of decades at most, making essentially no difference in the carbon cycle.

[BitWielder1]

BEAVERS CHANGE CLIMATE by +/- 0.000000....00001%, an amount impossible to measure, much less verify.
But we have to get rid of beavers... or get more. Not clear which.
We need more costly regulations, that much is certain.

[TomGuy]

Now they are blaming beavers.

Next they will be blaming the intern.

[DaxtonBrown]

And the classic “Ward, weren’t you a little hard on the Beaver last night?”

[RobertClark]

[KarlInOhio]

Since beaver dams hold water at a higher altitude that it would be normally they increase the earth's moment of inertia and therefore decrease the earth's rotational speed. Thus beavers make the night last longer.

[higgmeister]

This scientist wants to stop beavers, Sen. Graham wants to stop pootin! What's next!?

[beethovenfan]

I volunteer to do more beaver research.

[tophat9000]

Because there hot?

[Sacajaweau]

I bet they fart, too.

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

One problem with this theory, beavers tend to cut down live trees and brush to make their dams. Not dead ones.
