Environmental Impact

Generating Hot Air

Concerns over global warming (politically renamed “climate change”) have been pretty wild at times. One of the more absurd concerns is the idea of cow flatulence (farts) having a significant impact on global warming.

As I’ve written before, human impact on the climate is very difficult to measure and thus no strong conclusions can actually be made. Yet celebrities (such as Greta Thunberg) have made a huge amount of noise, which has been amplified by the media and implemented by governments over these unscientific concepts.

If you think I’m kidding about the cow flatulence, Denmark is about to impose a tax on them:

The “Carbon Capture Industry” is a strange one too. One company sells another company “carbon credits”. Sounds like a racket to me!

A friend had a good comment: “the leftist breaths are far more harmful than cow farts”. I’m incline to agree with him. The hot air (and wasted energy) spent on debating and implementing climate change mitigation causes more harm than any actual climate change (due to humans). Assuming you can actually detect any human caused climate change!

Don’t look under the covers or you might discover all these problems are nothing more than transfer of wealth schemes.

Maybe we should follow Kennedy’s approach: focus on dealing with pollution and stopping the destruction of nature instead of carbon theories!
