I really don't know whether to laugh or cry whenever a Libtard gets another good idea ...
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.
The anti-GMO folks won’t like his idea.
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...
LOL, I find this idea quite interesting actually. I have always thought that if by some bad luck, AGW were REAL, we could solve it through technology.
Most of the methane emitted by cows, or any ruminant, does not come from the flatus, but from eructation. They do not fart the methane, they belch it out. What comes out of the anus is primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor. The fermentation tank in the gut of every ruminant, the rumen, is where the methane is generated, and the up pressure is relieved by the gas escaping through the gullet, which has an additional groove, which allows the cow to breathe the methane out with the exhaled breath.
Methane is much lighter than the other components of atmosphere, and rises quickly once released, so there is actually very little accumulation close to the earth’s surface. Unlike water vapor, which has a similar molecular weight (and also rises quickly once volatilized), it does not go through a “heat of vaporization” which draws heat out of the surrounding atmosphere, and therefore has none of the thermodynamic effects of ice-water-water vapor phase transformation.
Bill Nye actually knows less science than would be taught in a high school general science class circa 1950. Not that the course is taught anywhere nearly as well as it was maybe fifty years ago.
At least Bill Nye practices what he preaches. He quit farting in 2002.
Be has a BS degree....................
Maybe they can burn off the methane..maybe implant a battery powered spark plug in the cows butt
I have visions of a field of cows walking by farting fire
Could they do a GMO hybrid of grass that was like Bean-0?
Why not develop an organism that lives on methane and is a delicious side dish for our steak?
The thing that bugs me about “climate change” is the assumption we could fix or cause it. Humans are less than gnats compared to the vast scope of the universe or even our planet. It is all a form of humanism. IMO, we could pop off all nuclear weapons and the earth would be “meh”.
We are simply not that powerful. Now, if yellowstone popped. That would be something. Or if the sun decided to burn us up, etc.
And how does he plan to deal with underwater volcanoes which produce far more methane gas? Seems to me nature rather than man is the major cause of climate change.
Bill Nye: Global Warming Could Be Solved By Cows Genetically Engineered To Cut Less Farts
More words that are as meaningless as those uttered by liberals in search of something to crow about.
We call him bill nye, the liar guy.
LMAO
Can I retroactively genetically engineer my husband for this purpose? ;)
(j/k, Honey, if you ever see this!)
