Not one mention that the vast majority of the methane seeps through cracks in the ocean floors.

Goebbles would be proud.

5.56mm

I think most sensible citizens realize by now that there has always been climate change. There is little perhaps that can change that, except the ONE who created it. The idea of blaming people for it & taxing them to death in a futile effort to change things is pure horse hockey. To my knowledge, there is absolutely no proof to support this effort to try changing the climate. Except, of course, to see money going into the right pockets. That seems to have been the real reason behind this all along.

A flatulent capybara - in a bathtub with ducklings.

Just when you thought you’d seen everything.

This might be the long-awaited replacement for: “a moose bit my sister...”

Methane is produced by cattle, and also comes from decaying vegetation, fires, coal mines and natural gas plants. It is many times more potent as a cause of atmospheric warming than carbon dioxide (CO2).

No numbers provided, as usual. Math is hard to liberals anyway. Science too.

They never said exactly what they planned to do about this problem.

Bovine Beano?

You notice, they never give helpful hints on how to
deal with the situation, only suggestions on how to
stop the clock.

I guess farmers in Africa will just have to starve
if the Warmists have their way.

——Bovine Beano?——

Actually, garbage dumps are the likely source of most wild methane.

Some dumps collect the methane and it is used as fuel

That was my first thought. They’re just working up to part where they tell us the world’s population must not exceed 250 million.

Well, what about this:

“to avoid triggering enhanced global warming and temperature rises well beyond 2C.”
