Cars Or Cows?

The answer to this is actually COWS ,

Cows’ farting and burping must be brought under control because they’re causing global warming problems, a climate change expert has warned.
Just one cow gives off enough harmful methane gas in a single day to fill around 400 litre bottles, which is really bad for the environment.

The gas goes up into the atmosphere and makes the hole in the ozone layer bigger, worsening global warming.

Dr Chris Jardine says the government must do more to halt the gassy problem.

Veganism is not just about the animals and your health, it’s about your childrens future.

Owen, I’ve been banging this drum (about cows) for ages now, seemingly without any effect.

It’s good to see an authoritative source actually agrees with me.

It’s always been obvious from since I joined this board that you and I view everything differently, but are you actually agreeing with me on this occasion or are my eyes decieving me lol.

Well sadly we are bound to disagree as you are vegan and I love scoffing meat, dairy stuff, fish etc etc. No common ground there I’m afraid.

Mind you I’d kill the buggers and eat them – whereas you’d probably want to cuddle them.

First ‘greenhouse gases’ were CFC’s used in aerosols and fridges. They were banned and so CO2 became the greenhouse gas. Now there is doubt as to whether CO2 has any part in global warming and rising CO2 levels might actually be a result of natural global warming which is largely related to sunspot activity. Funny old world!!

When the oil and gas starts to run out, as it will, I wonder if the global warming debate be seen as a big red herring?

We all know oil and gas will run out, but there is a sort of assumption that big new reserves will be found. But will we see any of those reserves coming here or will they all go to India and China, who have as much right to them as we do?

The nuclear industry is totally safe. It has a 100% safety record, if one doesn’t count Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and a few leaks at Winscale / Sellafield. (LOL please!)

If building more nuclear power stations is necessary to meet growing demand, then I suppose we will have to have them. But if we can do without through using renewable energy and energy-saving technology, so much the better.
