Me too. And there are the crazies who want us to stop growing cows because they belch so much methane. Of course they ignore the fact that termite farts account for 90% of the methane in the atmosphere.The Earth can produce only so much. Humans can breed to unlimited numbers. Is there a conflict here? The solution is obvious but unacceptable.
Oh Bob you are a funny fella, it’s like listening to a gun toting white supremacist, claiming they are not racist.
Please tell us where you got that 90% figure from? A quick search produces this:
Some estimates suggest termites are responsible for between 1 and 3 percent of global methane emissions.But according to the latest research, roughly half of the greenhouse gas is filtered from the atmosphere by bacteria living inside termite mounds.
Also here you can learn a little about cow farts, turn out cow burps are a bigger contributor, so can’t even get that simple fact correct, but then ‘farts’ is has so much more PR appeal which is all the right wing science-hating crazies have on their side.
Let’s get this out of the way: when some people hear the word “methane,” they immediately think about cow farts. (Hence stories like this, this and this). But in reality, cow burps are much more problematic: 90 to 95 percent of the methane released by cows comes out of their mouths, while 5 to 10 percent is released in the form of manure and flatulence. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock — including cows, pigs, sheep and other animals — are responsible for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Cows are the primary offenders, and each animal releases 30 to 50 gallons a day on average. And with an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 billion cows on the planet, that’s a whole lot of methane. But cows aren’t the main cause of our planet’s methane problem.Methane isn’t just cow farts; it’s also cow burps (and other weird facts you didn’t know about this potent greenhouse gas)

Fascinating article that one, if you want to learn a bit more about methane, of course, I’m imagining you probably already know everything you want to about the topic and resent anyone trying to shove more info into your head. Prove me wrong and learn something you didn’t know before.
Oh how glib the nasty hate-filled innocents can be towards the horrors we inflict on others and ourselves. Guess you’ll have to live through it before you get a clue.
Same as it ever was.
So sad.
