should we get rid of cows (and sadly, yummy hamburgers), since cows are some of the producers of methane, a greenhouse gas?
Ridiculous, I know...

True patriot...
We might have to...
I'm sure the Democrats are working on it.

Yes. Have no fear Soy is here. Yummy mushy goodness! Do chickens have greenhouse gas farts?

It is agreed upon. MOST scientists agree on it. There are some, who surprisingly draw their checks from the oil and coal industry who disagree, but for the most part, most scientists agree that global warming is bad. Further, the Earth does go through cycles, but this time around, we are getting hotter than EVER before. Even when you look at the past 5 cycles.
But to answer the question, you don't have to get rid of the cows. Yes, they do contribute to global warming, but everything does. The problem is that we cut down the forests to harvest ridiculous amounts of cows. If our fat selves would eat more veggies and a few less burgers, we wouldn't need so many cows which would help balance things out. If all of the world tried to eat beef the way that we do, Earth wouldn't last 10 years.

Actually, getting rid of cows would be a benefit of not only the greenhouse gases[sic!] but also help with heart disease and allow the elk and deer herds as well as the wolves to repopulate. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Carbon dioxide is the good stuff, you know photosynthesis and all that; what are they teaching you kids in school these days! LOL

Since it's agreed that beating your head repeatedly into the floor isn't a good thing...should we be concerned that this is apparently how you come up with your insane questions?
And name one Democrat who's trying to get rid of cows.

It is agreed that global warming WOULD be a bad thing; however, it is not agreed that it is a REAL thing. Czechoslovakians and Canadians don't believe a word of it.
Oh let the poor, innocent cows live. Besides, half of America would go crazy or commit suicide without precious steak and ribs.

The famous surfers beach in Rincon, P. R. lost almost all the sand. In the 30s you can make a football game in the beach. The erosion is well documented.
Do you think is a joke?

Global Warming is actually the best thing for the planet! Look back in history. People lived longer and there was more land available to grow crops, and feed the animals for our own consumption!

It's big deal because people argue or accept that it is human that is main driving force for global warming. It was never about cows.

We may as well just get rid of the human race. Since we supposedly caused all of the warming!

No. That would mean we should get rid of people too because we exhale carbon dioxide. We can get rid of things that cause unneccessary pollution.
