You have got to be kiding right? This is just crazy. I understand that global warming is a problem but I do not think cows have anything to do with it.

This is crazy. It seems that they are always trying to place blame on someone or something for global warming. I don't know much about it but is seems that the cows shouldn't be the cause.

I doubt if cows or any animale is the cause of global warming. Animals do nothing more than what they're supposed to do. It's humans that are causing the problems. We've invented so many things that are polluting the world. What has a cow invented lately?

See, it is through things like this that you can finally see how they will do anything to be able to charge people a little more. Absolutely ridiculous it is.

They are just trying to feed us with rhetoric.

Global warming, the way they are talking about it is BS.

200+ years ago the earth was in a mini ice age. The earth goes through a natural cycle of warming and cooling, and right now it is in a warming cycle. Yes these green house gases can amplify it a little and make it warm up faster, but the truth of it is that it id just time for the earth to get warmer. A lot of the scientists that study this believe we have reached the peak of the warming cycle, and believe that the Earth is starting into another cooling cycle.

The Liberals (started by Gore) are just trying to use this so they can put more regulation on us.

Cows are carbon neutral. CO2 emitted by cows is CO2 that was captured by the grass 3 months ago. They don't emit any "extra" CO2, like oil does (CO2 from millions of years ago).


Ranchers here in MT would love that. The article is missing though, so I can't tell if it is something they are trying to pass, or something they have passed....

It's not the CO2 thats the problem, it's methan. Something cows make an abundance of.

Are there any figures that actually prove this, or is the government just digging around for cash?
