Global Warming Is More B.S. Than We Thought

A 400-page U.N. report entitled Livestock's Long Shadow, states that cow "emissions" are more damaging to the planet than "cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together."

It turns out that cow flatulence and manure emit more than one third of planet's methane, a greenhouse gas which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide.

Our path is clear. We need a Kyoto Protocol to set the cow population back to pre-1990 levels. I'm thinking a massive barbeque ought to do it. You know, one last party before we all burst into flames.

Turns out Gary Larson was on to the devastating impact of cows way before Al Gore.

This is an exciting development for climate change advocates as they can now join forces with the obesity epidemic and PETA activists in a move to ban greenhouse-gas-producing cows, leather coats and Outback Steakhouses.

This should take some of the heat off SUV owners and put it squarely where it belongs - on all those smug, milk drinkers.

P.S. - Glad to see the U.N. has gotten such a good handle on the whole world peace thing that they can take time to put out a 400 page report on cow shit. Thanks for the memories, Kofi.
