Cows burp methane. They don’t fart methane. Experts are studying the wrong end of the cow.

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 giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
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?

When full, the interested consumer can present his fart capture device to Al Gore’s recycling center, where for a fee of $0.10 per fart, the captured farts will be recycled into the US natural gas distribution system.

What is the charge for 'wet farts' and what would they do to the system?

Methane is produced by cattle, and also comes from decaying vegetation, fires, coal mines and natural gas plants.

The "experts" NEVER bring up Mexican food and politicians. They always want to blame the cows.

“Methane is produced by cattle” (and, directly or indirectly, most every other living thing).

“Wet Farts” would, of course, completely disable the fart capture device (it was a government subsidized design after all). The consumer would be required to purchase another fart capture device for $4,500 and also pay to have the original device recycled in a hazardous waste facility for an estimated $10,000.

“Researchers say they have found more than 500 bubbling methane vents on the seafloor off the US east coast.”

Kill all the cows. Climate change problem solved.

The climate change crowd belong in the asylum for heaping nonsense upon the rest of us.

I agree entirely that anthropogenic global warming is NOT settled science, and that it is manipulated for a political agenda. That said, your comments about the sun are not 100% accurate.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun (average of ~36 million miles as compared to Venus at 67.2 million miles, and then Earth at ~93 million miles). That said, though Mercury’s daytime temperature can rise to >800 Fahrenheit during the day, it also drops to -279 Fahrenheit at night. This gives Mercury an average temperature of ~332 Fahrenheit - less than half of the average temperature of Venus (~864 Fahrenheit). This, despite Venus being almost twice as far from the sun. Why? Because Venus has a thick atmosphere, and Mercury doesn’t.
