AOC explains why ‘farting cows’ were considered in Green New Deal
NY Post ^ | 2/22/19 | Yaron Steinbuch

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent plenty of air time explaining “farting cows,” as she defended her so-called Green New Deal on the premiere of Showtime’s “Desus & Mero.”

According to an initial outline of the measure, the freshman Democrat and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) said they “set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”

The language was later changed to “emissions from cows.”

On Thursday night, comedy duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero asked Ocasio-Cortez why she thought the initial reaction to the Green New Deal focused on bovine exhaust.

“In the deal, what we talk about, and it’s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know? Period. It’s wild,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to Fox News.

“And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it’s to say, ‘Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real.’”

“Slow down,” Desus joked.

“But we have to take a look at everything,” the ultra-left-wing pol continued, “and what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives, you know?”

“If we could just disarm the population and make the men too weak to fight or turn them into women with soy in everything, along with sterilizing them with hormones in the water, we can finally take over, and rule over a class of illiterate slaves ignorant of history”

Luckily we’re not quite there yet, but Sweden sure is, which is why the ‘men’ there sit around and toke weed while their women are being raped by immigrants on a daily basis.

Animal-ism or species-ism? One could call her utterances “good for a laugh”. I bet this moron was a terrible bartender also.

Cowboys (especially after a meal of beans) are flatulent.

I can believe that when a customer ordered a drink “on the rocks”, she’d go outside the bar to collect a few.

"How much of a factor is the farts of cows?”

I believe the scientist say it's cow belches, not farts that are the problem.As a member of a farming family I couldn't tell you which end causes the trouble(neither is very pleasant)

However if getting rid of troubling flatulence is the problem I nominate nuking New York City. Seems there is an excess flow from that city and the Coasts as well.

“Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

A hamburger is part of a cow who will never fart again. The more red meat you eat, the less cows there will be to fart. What has to stop is dairy farms. They use it to make milk, cheese, ice cream, butter, yogurt, and even (blech!) cottage cheese and countless other products. And an endless stream of milk emanates from these cows, who eat and fart and eat and fart. The worst are the Holsteins, who are given a high carbohydrate diet, to increase their already prodigious milk output. It often makes them sick, and worst of all, it makes them fart like motorboats! Down with milk! Save the planet! Have hamburgers for breakfast! Lunch! Dinner! Midnight snacks! We must have a final solution to the cattle problem!

Methane is a cheap energy source. Attach balloons to the cows’ sphincter muscles, and let ‘em cut loose all they want, and bottle it. They’re saving the planet.

Use methane to power the planes, and eat steaks made from cows who can fart no more.
