| Cow Fart Regulations Approved By California's Legislature |
| 2016-09-02 |
| The Assembly, tackling the important issues of our time. SACRAMENTO (AP) -- California’s Legislature has approved regulations on cow flatulence and manure ‐ both blamed for releasing greenhouse gases. The measure was approved shortly before the end of the legislative session Wednesday after its author, Democratic Senator Ricardo Lara of Bell Gardens, agreed to give dairy farms more time to comply. The legislation seeks to reduce methane emissions associated with manure to 40 percent below their 2013 levels by 2030. Methane is one of several gases known as short-lived climate pollutants that don’t persist for long in the atmosphere but have a huge influence on the climate. I think I just spotted the problem here... |

| #5 Excellent! We've killed off the bison. Now we're starting to deal with The Cow Menace. That just leaves termites world-wide and those vast herds of herbivores on the African plains. CO2 free world, here we come! |

| #2 Just a few years ago, the California Dairy Board was running an advertising campaign. Shame they're going to be out of business now. |
