Yes, I quite like eating them and so do a lot of other people too. So,if there were less people we would not need so many cows to provide food. But there never seemed to be a climate problem arising from buffaloes when N.America was swarming with them so I find it rather hard to believe that cows are changing our climate now most of the buffaloes have been shot.. How many human beings put out CO2 equivalent to one cow? How many car miles does it take to equal the 'greenhouse gases' resulting from one major volcanic eruption? I think global warming (assuming that longer term measurements confirm that it is indeed happening) has provided the politicians with a heaven sent opportunity to raise a whole lot of new taxes and claim to be doing it in the interests of the planet. And soon Al Gore and all his like thinking buddies will fly to somewhere like (for instance) Bali to talk about it. How many cows would it need to equal their gas output? Sorry, but I remain unconvinced. The only thing I am sure about is that the planet has too many human beings on it already.. |

If that's true (and I don't agree that it is) then it dang sure worked to get mine. On 27 May 08, Dave wrote: I assume you are also aware that the sky is falling. Yes, I've heard. But thanks for the heads up anyway :-) |

Everyone should be made to wear some type of methane gas filter device on their ass...and the worse offenders, at both ends. |

Had he been correct, we would all be extinct. I believe the next meeting is Hawaii. G |

Malthus made some very valid observations that have stood the test of time. As did the ancients who said the earth is flat. Gonna join the Flat Earth Society? What do valid observations have to do with false theories? Casady |
