Gone With The Wind

Bill Gates: “6% of global emissions are cows… You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that, or you can make beef without the cow.”

When the transcontinental railroad was being built 150 years ago, sometimes the trains had to stop for a whole day while gigantic herds of buffalo (bison) moved across the tracks. Buffalo are ruminant animals that must have burps and farts similar to domestic cattle.

At the same time, Africa was covered with huge herds of cape buffalo and other herbivores. So why were global temperatures lower when all that intestinal gas was being emitted? The dose-response curve is NEGATIVE. Less intestinal gas seems to be associated with more global warming. Only a fool or a fanatic (or both) would believe that enormous cow pie.

Hey, Bill, you closed all the Microsoft stores. Help us fix YOUR emissions, then worry about the cows.

This video has much to teach us. A man tries to make a video about something or other. But it is interrupted and ruined by (1) a braying jackass, and (2) a farting cow. That perfectly describes Bill Gates and his environmentalist buddies. Perhaps a musician could compose a new environmentalist anthem. I can hear it now: “Brays and farts together, tra-la, tra-la.
