Cow flatulence
It has been estimated that 9 to 12% of the energy that a cow consumes is turned to methane that is released either through flatulence or burping (Radford, 2001). A huge number of factors affect methane emission, including diet, barn conditions and whether the cow is lactating, but an average cow in a barn produce 542 liters of methane a day, and 600 liters when out in a field (Adam, 2000).

some one watch it and tell me if it looks like total BS or if there might be just a small portion of something to think about.

i am sick of watching morons redo cars and build the same old motorcycles. i found it an entertaining show and something to talk about. i dont agree or disagree. As i get older i like having several sides of a story and then i like to arrive at my own opion. i will now look for legit info to disprove the show.
A politician or a political party is the last person i would listen to information from.

It looks like it will come on again tomorrow. I will set my DVR to remind/record. I will then give you my thoughts.

I watched "Too Hot Not To Handle", it is very entertaining. In my opinion there is nothing we can do to "save" the earth from an ice age or global heat wave or change the severity of the storms. I mean think about it, the earth is how old? We are only a tiny blip in its life, we give ourselves too much credit if we think we can destroy it! The creatures on this planet are constantly evolving or going extinct based on the climate. We aren't gonna be here forever and there ain't nothing we can do about it.
They had an interview on one of the network channels with Larry David's (the creator of Seinfeld) wife. She is such an eviromentalist nut that she said when she pulls up to someone in traffic that is driving a vehicle like a Hummer that only gets 10mpg she just can't stand it and actually rolls down the window and starts an argument with them about it. OMFG! I would have her teeth imprinted on my knuckles for a month if she did that to me! All these nuts are gonna spend their whole life crying every morning because of what we're doing to "mother earth" instead of enjoying life while they have it.
Oh yeah and if cows burping and farting are destroying our climate...what about us? Should we feel bad everytime we let out a squeaker? I know my bf doesn't.
