The University of New Hampshire has been given 700,000 of our tax dollars to study cow burps. The purpose is to reduce greenhouse gasses by limiting the methane they emit when belching. Apparently their flatulence emits less methane, but I am sure many farmers would beg to differ. Scientists tell us that in the distant past very large vegetarian dinosaurs roamed a tropical world, yet catastrophic climate change did not occur. A recently discovered seismosaurus dinosaur was up to 140 feet long. Now that is one giant carbon footprint. In fact the fossil record indicates that high CO2 levels supported the greatest number of diverse life forms ever recorded. Maybe we should think twice about junking that old S.U.V, and go have a few bean burritos. Maybe we can bring back the dinosaurs.
