Oh, yes, the methane emitted by cattle is again, being touted as a source of the 'green house gasses' causing the atmospheres warming.
Question : What about all of the cities 'human' sewage processing facilities / plants? Should the scientists be working on ways to harness this escaping methan gas, and 'pump this into the homes'? This will provide heating, cooking, etc. and eleminate the earths warming up to the point where the oceans start flooding cities i.e. New York, Boston, Los Angles, San Fransisco, New Orleans(again), Miami, etc.

It is true that methane from all sources are a greenhouse gas. It is possible to harness such methane and burn it for the purpose of operating turbines that generate electricity that can be sold to power companies and distributed to their customers.
It is already being done. I have designed and built compressors to boost the pressure of gas from waste water treatment plants and landfills, The pressure must be increased to provide adequate pressure for proper fuel control.
India and Europe commonly use such power sources.
Such generating plants are expensive to set up, the gas contains other caustic chemicals which complicate the process and can be hazardous to health, dangerous, and shorten equipment life. It has rarely proven to be economically viable with today's fuel prices but that may change.
Amateurs should NOT try this at home!

" GOREbal Warming " is JUNK Science !! It is a " New World Order " scheme to get the first step to getting the "Global " community to experience the warm fuzzy feeling of the " New World Order ". So , for your own good , " Don`t Drink The " FOOL-AID " !! If this Cow Crap theory is claimed to be true , then why wasn`t the earth red hot during the time before "man made pollution inventions`" ; when only horse`s , donkey`s , camel`s , elephant`s , mule`s , cow`s , sheep , reindeer , goat`s , and all the other "animal`s " that crapped in the wild as the mood warranted ????

Like water vapor, methane (the "cow fart" gas) performs a miles less substantial function interior the Greenhouse effect than CO2, yet is produced in super parts by ability of farm animals, and by ability of the permafrost now defrosting with the aid of worldwide Warming. All 3 gases are important gamers interior the earth's ecosystem. it could interest you to comprehend that livestock have those days been discovered to be to blame for a strategies-blowing volume of CO2 production besides (a hundred and fifty% greater advantageous than poultry or fish, and as much as one thousand circumstances that of grain or vegetables). This has to do with the extra power ingesting steps required to slaughter and butcher livestock.

YES, I have noticed lately that the cow/global warming bit is starting to creep back into the news. I believe that all the farmers should start
building huge tanks around where all their cattle
are and have giant hoses attached to their butts
heading right into those tanks and sell the methane to the cities to warm their buildings and houses!

I think this has gone far too much. I think someone's trying to ridicule climate warming and don't think its so funny considering the pollution caused by the emission of millions of cars and fossil burning engines and power plants which to some degree attributes to GW.
