- weirdralph, on 10/20/2007, -0/+20Or maybe just a tank that gets filled directly from the cow's stomachs... They could set them up like saddles, a tank on each side, and the fart farmers could just change them out daily.
Oh, hay, my folks still raise cattle. Maybe I cud get mooving on some plans of my own. On the udder hand, it would behoove me to milk this thing for all it's worth, so I'd better cowculate the potential profits before I start. (Man, I'm all jittery with anticipation --- guess I'd better switch to de-calf.) - squeekme, on 10/21/2007, -0/+11This is quite old news in New Zealand. Back in 2003 the government was thinking about taxing the emissions. So the farmers had a protest and that was the end of that.

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0309/S00040.htm - NicksVideo, on 10/21/2007, -0/+8Farting a cow would hurt like a *****.
- scootinger, on 10/21/2007, -0/+8I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the episode of South Park where everybody starts farting and it causes global warming...
- Philonius, on 10/30/2007, -1/+8Your comment, quite frankly, sounds like the words of a pissy little toddler compared to danbailey's comment. People who value cogent thinking have upmodded him and downmodded you. That's not fascism. I'd advise you to check a dictionary, but looking at your sentences, I doubt you could use one to your advantage.
- aflusche, on 10/20/2007, -0/+6Maybe they can figure out how to alter MY food to cut down on emissions.
- inactive, on 10/20/2007, -1/+7Everything farts methane and exhales CO2.
The solution? If you are worried about Global Warming, you have no choice other than to kill yourself. Do it for the planet! - Scruffydan, on 10/23/2007, -3/+8or the Hudson Institute
- unloud, on 10/21/2007, -0/+5Puntastic!
- prophet5, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4I'm doing my part - I had a huge Porterhouse steak last night. I rode the rest home.
For every steak that vegans and/or other semi-life forms don't eat, I have an extra one.
And vegans taste like chicken. Why is that? - alesis1, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4I think Farting Cows would make a great band name.
- mkwilliams, on 10/21/2007, -4/+8This IS very old news but a very good reminder of how silly this whole "man-made global warming" crowd has become. If this is an example of the kind of ***** (pardon pun) that an Algore presidency would have brought us....Thank God for GW Bush!
Anyone who believes this pure non sense is either trying to make a buck (i.e. The Algore) or just plain stupid. WE LIVE IN A F**KING SOLAR SYSTEM!!! ANYONE THINK THE SUN MIGHT PLAY A PART??? Morons. - BigBlueCarbon, on 10/20/2007, -0/+4i thought cow fuel was a renewable energy.
what's up Big Corn? - SebG, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4Researchers, STOP, STOP trying to stop something that has been occuring for a very, very long time.
STOP PROTECTING US - Alfdog, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3Irony = The fact that you don't have a sense of humor, and yet you judge what is funny.
- arch1t3ct, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3a cowtailytic converter...
- init100, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3Actually cow farts, just like farts from any herbivore, probably smells less bad than people farts. Have you ever smelled cow dung? It smells much less bad than it can smell in the restroom after someone has been there.
The last question can more or less be translated to "Have you ever visited a farm?" - Ratty, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3Actually cows don't fart. The methane they produce is released through burping.
- Grumps, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3We could try stuffing those wine cork up their back.
- Elranzer, on 10/21/2007, -1/+4Farts are causing Global Warming? Someone better get Randy Marsh, South Park's only scientist.
- Betrayer, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3You global warmers are silly.... you remind me of the pilgrims that used to drown women in water to prove they weren't witches. the earth is in its warming cycle, it will return the planet to the tropical climate of the dinosaur , then it will return to the ice age.... Jhees you act as if we have only been on this planet for a few thousand years.
oh and an answer to the cow burping... is a hole maybe with a flame on it to burn emissions..
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/329860/holy_cow/ - TimTheSloth, on 10/20/2007, -1/+4uhh this has been a largely known environmental concern for quite some time.
- TFGeditor, on 10/21/2007, -2/+5If mammal-sourced methane is such a big deal, why didn't the planet die due to all the farting elk, bison, mastodons, and other Pleistocene animals? For that matter, I suspect there were as many bison in 19th Century North America as there are cattle today. Did bison farts start the global warming cycle? (sarcasm on) Good thing us "white eyes" wiped them out, then--right? (sarcasm off)
- o0adam0o, on 10/20/2007, -1/+4Reserchers need to leave my mother out of this!
- Lenny, on 10/20/2007, -1/+3Indeed. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess NZ was just ahead of the times.
- Woknblues, on 10/30/2007, -0/+2this may be the best arguement against government funded or subsidized research I have ever seen.
- SeaMowse, on 10/20/2007, -1/+3Yeesh... cat farts are bad enough. I can't even begin to imagine what a cow fart smells like. People farts are bad enough as it is! :P
- JoeVet, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2The sun has been scientifically ruled out as a cause for global warming. And anyone who sees channel 10 Tampa as a legitimated source of scientific information deserves to look like the fool that you are. Calling others morons with the caplok on just emphasizes your lack of comprehension of modern science.
- PATSCRU, on 10/23/2007, -6/+8Oh yes, i get all my science info from world net daily.
- DavidJay, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2I don't think I could stop eating veal, let alone beef. I think this means the planet is doomed.
- JoeVet, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2More
- acrodev, on 10/21/2007, -5/+7So should I eat more cows or fewer cows? This climate change thing is too confusing.
- Scumbunny, on 10/20/2007, -1/+3In other news, it was confirmed that life is a precancerous condition
- allaboutdatiki, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2Some really smart fart farmer is going to come up with a filter that gets installed on the front and back of each cow ... the thing will process methane gas into the stuff we use to heat houses and hot water ... just wait ...
- inactive, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2Have you ever heard a cow fart? I have and its awesome and very humbling at the same time! It's the primary reason I say grace before knocking down a hamburger.
- securitymonkey, on 10/20/2007, -1/+3Cows? What about one of the programmers that works down the hall from me? Ever choke on your own saliva?
- BigBlueCarbon, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2i think most people pick meat on taste, not efficiency
- matttaylor314, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2people talk about it being a cow problem because we have so many of them. However, the methane is a product of the way ruminants digest cellulose. It occurs in buffalo and everything else with a bunch of stomachs
- inactive, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Farting cows = Methane = Bio-Fuel = Money!
Gimme those cows! - inactive, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2It's the rumen that is filled with microorganisms to digest cellulose, it is literally a fermentation vat.
Both ways, they burp and fart. - NeoCortex, on 10/21/2007, -1/+3Hell with that. I'm just going to have to eat more ***** meat now to do my part to reduce the bovine population.
- Alfdog, on 10/23/2007, -0/+2*****!
- estacado, on 10/20/2007, -0/+21 cow = 10 cars.
- inspireology, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2Farting through your mouth must taste bad.
- mcrosby, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1Cows don't fart - They burp a lot, due to their strange digestive system.
- JoeVet, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1Without the use of cows as food, there would be no need for the cows and they would be doomed to death because they can no longer fend for themselves. Why do you hate cows so much that you would see them die by starvation? Vegans are not nice people. I say lets support our bovine friends. Feed a cow soybeans today.
- JoeVet, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1That fossil fuel is made from old cows.
- kirstpo, on 10/21/2007, -2/+3The idea of cow farts being a global warming issue is retarded. I don't believe any leading scientists believes livestock has anything to do with global warming. It's primarily the matter of human burned fossil fuels.
- gkiltz, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1Cows mostly burp! Actual farts are rare! It's burps that release the gas for the vegetarian agenda to sustain itself!
- timlopez, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1Sadly, I know this is true. The air in the Central Valley in California (Cow mecca) is worse then the air in LA. Growing up, I was always able to breathe easier when I was in LA, now I live there.
