But...but...do bison fart?
What does this have to do with mechanics?
The world is near a 50 million year low in CO2 in the atmosphere. It has “recently” bounced off the bottom (possibly with some contribution of mankind, but that’s still not determined), which is a very good thing, because we were close to the levels where plants would start to die off.
Well a Carbon Based Planet has lots of carbon and you’ll never ever reduce it ,LOL
Oh Puhleeze. What a bunch of bovine excrement. These people have lost their friggin’ minds.
interesting
“...large land mammals.” So cows are “good” again?
The globe is approximately 3/4 water. The 1/4 of land has vast tracts of no or few inhabitants. More or less cows aren’t going to significantly influence carbon levels, the ozone layer nor ‘climate change’.
Well, it looks like some climate alarmists have discovered a tiny sliver of the immense carbon cycle that all life depends on.
It seems they still haven’t discovered the fact that all life is formed from carbon dioxide. Let’s hope they discover this before they put too many carbon sequestration schemes in place and start causing mass extinctions.
Plant trees and use the wood and then plant more trees.
“It’s estimated that livestock contribute to roughly 14.5 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions,”
Sunovabitch, PopMech, don’t you have an editor anymore? They mean to say livestock contribute 14.5 percent of the global-warming emissions (as measured by total heating effect, not volume or mass). Those emissions in the case of livestock are from methane. The amounts are actually minimal, but the effect is 28 times greater than water (per mass? per mole?)
The absurdity of the “carbon” crisis and “global warming” is so amazing I find it incredible that there are still articles and studies going on. What it tells me is that there are no real crises. At least not ones anyone can get behind to resolve. Social Security, illegal immigration, government overreach all easily come to mind as much more real and immediate than carbon or global warming. But mention them and someone waves his hand and says, “We’re all gonna die in just ten years.” They’ve been ten-yearing the rubes since the sixties when the crisis was the coming ice age and peak oil. I remember an article stating we were all going to die in the freezing dark by 1975.
Trying to solve an imaginary problem.
No, apparently they burp and do other bodily excretions. I guess that's a worse word than burp.
Popular Mechanics has gone Woke Stupid.
I can’t remember if it was Popular Mechanics or Popular Science that ran a ridiculous story on the Glomar Explorer when I was just a kid.
I thought it was a completely stupid story. I had no idea what it was for.
But it wasn’t going to be picking up “nitrogen nodules” - absolutely stupid.
I wonder if they thought that they were actually fooling anybody significant.
Much later we found out what that ship was really doing.
Which was a good idea.
But the “article” was ridiculous.
We're still dangerously close to those levels.
I've tried to point out to carbon alarmists the central role of atmospheric CO2 in supporting life on this planet. When plants die off because of insufficient CO2, this means that everything that depends on plants also dies off from lack of carbon. You can't remove a ton of CO2 from the air without decreasing the existing biomass by a ton.
The answer I've received from alarmists is that it's okay for plants requiring a relatively high concentration of CO2 to die off, because there will still be other plants that can survive on lower CO2 concentrations. They simply cannot (or refuse to) understand the link between CO2 and total biomass.
