    Guys keep in mind that the earth will only rise a few degrees fahrenheit in the next 100 years or so; it will barely be noticeable.

    However, there are higher carbon emissions, and with a growing population on earth, they will keep rising. It's not going to stop at a few degrees.

    It's not just about the temperatures either; wetter areas will get wetter and drier areas will get drier. The sea will rise. Ecosystems will get polluted.

    Whether humans are causing global warming or not, they're definitely adding to it. Of course the earth has fluctuated in its temperatures, but it's not just the temps that are going up, it's a significant increase of greenhouse gases.

    The media is getting into this trying to scare people, yes, some of the main supporters are not scientists. But like it or not, the earth's temperature is rising.

    I think it's funny that we as humans entertain ourselves with the idea that we have some minute understanding of how this world works. The only parts we've figured out is what we've screwed up.

    Totally off-topic: A herd of cows produces more methane in one year than humans do with our noxious fumes! Go cows!:cow::cow::cow::cow::cow:

    Didn't you hear? They're proposing taxing farmers a lot more now for every cow they own. Not kidding...

    I'm ambivalent to global warming - but I do actively practice conservation and green living just because I think it's the right thing to do whether the earth is warming or not.

    But stories like the above is what PISSES ME OFF and puts me on the anti side of these global warming issues!

    ???

    How many cows in a herd? How many humans are you comparing to this imaginary herd? Is it a one to one basis?

    You are aware that the large the vat the greater the quantity of methane produced, right? It seems to me that bovine digestion, what with the cud chewing, the four stomachs, the diet being mostly non-animal in nature and the simple tonnage involved might have something to do with the amount of methane produced but, since I have NO clue exactly what you are referring to, I must simply say, huh?

    ANPR Advanced NOTICE of Proposed Rules

    It's sort of like the guys coming out and putting paint marks on the street where a stop sign might someday in the future be placed.

    It is not a guarantee. It is merely advanced notice of something that may or may not happen.

    Here's another.

    The world may or may not end tomorrow.

    There's your advance notice on that possibility too.

    I heard Monday on National Public Radio that the German Government has officially asked Germans to reduce their consumption of meat. They said that the average German's diet consists of 39% meat and the average Italian diet consists of 24% meat. The keeping of livestock to feed the Germans was creating too much methane gas in the form of farts. They wanted the German people to emulate the eating habits of the Italians. I had to wonder if I was listening to a Saturday Night Live skit or something but it was real.

    Completely different. The advanced notice of the possibility of the world ending tomorrow does not give Congress cause to potentially destroy an American Industry. Amen.

    Might be time to take a deep breath and check if intelligence is getting overrun by emotion...
