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.

Good luck with the plan, never going to happen.

The easy, best,logical answer would be:
“Just shoot them”

For NSA, FBI, CIA and other members of the alphabet - of course this is not meant in the literal sense.
Consider this to be just another fart in the wind.

Collect fresh, clean CowGas® and pipe it to your kitchen stove to cook with.

No more of that nasty old gas from petroleum.

And CowGas® is Organic!!!

It's portable too!

CowGas® - IT'S A GOOD THING...

Bill Nye has no PhD, he is not a scientist.

He has a BS degree, which I guess sounds appropriate. He may not be a legit scientist, but he's an ENTERTAiNER, which apparently makes his views important somehow.

Uh...Bill...

How do those numbers compare with the volume of gas emitted by the AGW crowd?

Bovine digestion works off of fermentation.

So Bill is off his gourd.

Still, there IS a way to genetically engineer cows so that they’ll more efficiently turn food into beef and that is to make them huge.

Fermentation digestion is one of the few biological processes that really benefits form increased scale (most others bog down) so a big stomach will brew tough foliage more efficiently, take less energy to convert that to a useable form, and as such require proportionally less food to produce the same amount of beef.

Individual animals will, in fact, fart MORE ... but there would be fewer of them needed.

Giant cattle would add emphasis to “Don’t cross this field unless you can do it in 9 seconds ... because the bull can do it in 10.” signs.

For some reason, Bill Nye

always reminds me of Matthew Lesko.

Getting science information from Bill Nye is like getting sailing advice from Captain Kangaroo

“Your objections to Bill Nye are as idiotic as Bill Nye himself ...”

Hey, that wasn’t very nice.

His own farts first.

Would that be “Bill Nye the Science Ghey”?

Nye is not a scientist. If he were, he’d know that cows don’t make methane; the bacteria in the cow’s rumen make methane.

Try a little genetic manipulation on those guys.

When Nye stops farting, maybe we’ll move on to cow farts.

Bill Nye, the moronic guy! I bet I could debate him on global warming and win. Why is Mars heating up and I heard Neptune is, too...are we causing universe warming? Jeez, if we are, maybe we can warm up Pluto...
