Does anyone agree that GMing cows to produce less gas is..?

Question

wrong. I say let them fart & belch the methane and leave there digestive system alone. Who knows what will happen if you tamper with their DNA to stop them doing this natual bodily process. I dont think that GM of a cows intestine is the right solution for global warming - your views?

Jean, I quite agree about the dispute over the CO2 global warming association. Since it is not proved that greenhouse gases are causing the effect, I am astounded that scientists really are looking at ways to reduce the amount of methane that cows produce - and as for GMing them, it makes me very, very worried about the state of the civilised world.

Answer 1

Next, they will want to GM us. There are a lot more people in the world than cows. That means we emit more methane than cows do.

Answer 2

It is not the lower production of digestive gas that will solve our problem.
It is certain that the global warming has a natural cause, the sun.
A second fact is that the most performing computers are still unable to calculate what is the real effect of the present worldwide emission of CO2 on global warming.
So the opinions of the scientists are very divergent about the reasons of the global warming and the consequences of our emissions of CO2.
Another fact is that the preachers of coming catastrophes and disasters due to CO2 earn a lot of money. Al GORE gets 150.000 dollars for every conference and has earned till now 50 million dollars for his film. The lobbies for alternative energies have already earned at the money markets enormous amounts of money and get richer and richer.
Fact is that the liquid fossil energies become to be rare. So we must try to spare fuel and to look for other energies, which are not too expensive.

I think that we must reduce our consummation of fossil energy anyway. Perhaps is it necessary to tell people terrific stories about coming catastrophes to persuade them to spare fuel and to use, if possible, more and more clean alternative energies.

However there is another important point, we have to take in consideration. Actually 6,2 billion people live on earth. In 2050 we will probably be 9 billion. Might our governments not search for middles and ways, and these middles are known, to make people avoid to put more children to earth as they can keep? It would solve most of our problems worldwide. Are our governments not doing actually the contrary with our money?

Answer 3

yeh see what you mean but at the same time its a big problem even tho everyone jokes about it

suppose we rely on cows for so much that we cant afford to decrease them in number to help the problem so the only way to help is to some how reduce them farting

Answer 4

What a load of twoddle, they should try and cut down on the man-made threats

Answer 5

It's wrong...
I mean a slight fault could cause explosions!

Answer 6

i think the government should ban vegetarians and make them eat burgers

Answer 7

surelly if it was that serious it would have happened years ago,,
