#1 Ahhh, the merciless, brutal, perennial war btwn belching cows versus the Sun. Compare to "BBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPPPPPP - Hi, I'm MADONNA"! Looks like someone in Hollywood managed to escape being arrested and sent to the Nuremburg Global Enviro Crimes Trials, didn't she!? HEY YOU ..............

#3 Obviously the dinosaurs were wiped out by eating at Taco Bell a little too often.

#4 Global warming is a crime against humanity. The person who invented CO2 - presumably some dead white guy - should be thrown in jail for life and then executed.

#6 I'm sceptical that cows burp. Horses do not. I've been around cows for a good portion of my life and can't ever remember one burping. My dog does, though.

#7 This is deliberately misdirected, the Methane comes from Farts, not Burps, it's all bullshit anyway.
Consider the vast plains cobered with Buffalo, nobody died then, the Earth still exists, it's all Bull(Cow)shit.

#8 Well, when you analyze the digestive process in bovines, you have four stomachs with fermentation used to break down the cellulose from the feed. In the rumen compartment, primarily anaerobic bacteria do the work, with some aerobic bacteria present. The anaerobic bacteria produce stuff like methane as a byproduct, so everybody needs to get over it or design a methane recovery system for the herd. Try that one in India and Bangladesh. LOL!

#9 Ima thinkin' big ass rubber balloons one both ends of all farm animals. When they's get full, attach them to the intake manifolds of SUVs and make Arab princes cry.

#10 Not a bad idea ed. Just got to figure out how to mount Bossie on the top of the SUV. Anearobic digesters produce methane along with some other by-products. Also gets rid of stuff that might otherwise go into a landfill.

#11 Oh lord. Just putting a couple of large corks in Abberton would probably do the trick better than changing the feed for every cow on the planet.
