Wondering why methane is never brought up by alarmist.  Wouldn't the world be better if we were all vegan?

This is why people don't take you seriously.

Some people take me seriously; sorry you're so closed off that you're incapable of having perspective.

I'm not vegan nor am I advocating for it, but methane is a much larger contributor to greenhouse gasses.  The point I was making, is if your sole concern is for global warming, why are you stuck on CO2?  Wouldn't you be looking for all avenues of reducing greenhouse gases?

Seems like you were just sold a bill o goods and all you're capable of doing is parroting propagandistic bullshit. Kind of hard to take people seriously when they have no critical thinking skills. :dunno:

Methane is terrible.  So are CFC's and HFC's.  We need to reduce all of those harmful pollutants as much as we can.  CO2 is focused on more heavily because it accounts for about 84% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (related to human activities).  Electric generation, transportation, and various industries contribute the most to U.S. CO2 production.

I see I wrote larger contributor; my mistake. Methane is a pretty destructive greenhouse gas and if If you wanted to, you could mention the amount of co2 created as a by-product to support the beef industry.

Serious questions: is climate change the new vernacular for global warming, or are they desperate things?  Is CO2 allegedly the primary cause of one or both?

go east, young man.

It's pretty ridiculous to drive on I-70 west of Denver and see the 'rado just chugging and churning water like crazy, and then to realize that not a drop makes it to the ocean.  Vegas should be imploded or at least relocated to Reno.

How 'bout this "summer" we're having? Hardly scientific, but here's a fun chart in advance of the latest hysterical report from the UN:



I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

China has been experiencing record droughts, but yeah, it hasn't been a total heat bomb in the US, so I guess we're good?
