We now have more evidence of what Tiger Lilly has been saying all along: cows are terrorists! Here’s a photo of a would-be bovine suicide bomber about to go on a mission:
Actually, going on an emission might be more accurate. The photo is from a story about a group of Argentinian scientists that are trying to measure the amount of methane emissions from cows and the impact that may have on global warming:
In a bid to understand the impact of the wind produced by cows on global warming, scientists collected gas from their stomachs in plastic tanks attached to their backs.
The Argentine researchers discovered methane from cows accounts for more than 30 per cent of the country’s total greenhouse emissions.
As one of the world’s biggest beef producers, Argentina has more than 55 million cows grazing in its famed Pampas grasslands.
Guillermo Berra, a researcher at the National Institute of Agricultural Technology, said every cow produces between 8000 to 1,000 litres of emissions every day.
Methane, which is also released from landfills, coal mines and leaking gas pipes, is 23 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
Scientists are now carrying out trials of new diets designed to improve cows’s digestion and hopefully reduce global warming. Silvia Valtorta, of the National Council of Scientific and Technical Investigations, said that by feeding cows clover and alfalfa instead of grain “you can reduce methane emissions by 25 percent”.
So the cows are out to get us, using biological weapons no less. This plan has a fatal flaw, however.
When the weather gets warm, I like to grill.
If grilling cow is environmentally friendly then I’m a tree-huggin’, granola munchin’ environmentalist of the first order. Or, put on a lawn sign, “I’m willing to eat cow for a better Minnesota.”
All I have to say is what will they think of next…. geez…
“Proof is the bottom line for everyone.”
Whoa–you mean that when you feed a cow its natural diet, it doesn’t burp and flatulate as much? It’s like saying that when you feed a person something better than “Hormel Chili with Beans,” the same thing applies.
What a shocker.
I’ve been saying for years that the science behind (pun intended) global warming is rooted in BS. Now, there’s visual proof.
I am so very, very bummed. I sent these same pictures home, and I was just going to go out and do a post on this about Tiger Lilly’s worst nightmare come true—BMD’s; Bovines of Mass Destruction, and how they were planning to set off a ‘stink bomb’ in South St. Paul.
Throw that great post out the window.
What a mean thing to do to that cute cow!
Who says I have a worst nightmare?
