Cow Farts

I found this info on Mark Batterson's blog, it was good stuff so I thought I would pass it on.

You can read the article he got it from here.

According to a United Nations Report, cow "emissions" are the greatest threat to the environment.

The 400-page report by the Food and Agricultural Organization, Livestock's Long Shadow, says that the world's 1.5 billion cattle are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. That is more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.

Cow farts account for 9% of all carbon dioxide emissions. Their "wind" and manure account for more than 33% of methane. And their farts produce 100 other polluting gases including ammonia, one of the major causes of acid rain.

One more random cow fact: a cow drinks 990 litres of water to produce one litre of milk!

Looking for a picture to put on this post I found this article that talks about a tax on cow farts. I can't make this stuff up. Cow fart Tax

There are a couple of people that I would like to tax their "emissions"

Shine on,
