Asked by the host to explain his party’s plan to deal with carbon emissions, Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner described the overwhelming scientific consensus that carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change as “comical” during an appearance (see video below) on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopolous Sunday. Furthermore, he pointed out that cow flatulence contributes CO2 to the environment all the time.
This wasn’t the first time ABC has focused on the subject of cow flatulence. As noted in my post, ABC Blaming Cow Farts for Warming Planet (July 21, 2008), the network’s World News with Charles Gibson advised viewers to curb their beef consumption and, in turn, lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Once again, I think members of the news media ought to stop blaming our bovine friends’ farts for polluting the planet. If you agree, show your support for “everything cow” with CO2ws merchandise items like the t-shirts below from The Bob McCarty Shop.
CO2ws make the world feel warmer and CO2ws make the world a warmer place

I have been watching the war on cows. I don’t think it’s a strange coincidence the cow fart stories and the stories questioning the healthiness of beef are happening at the same time. If they can make people think beef is killing them, they are more likely to win this crazy global warming war. I touched a little bit on this today with a story about how fat people are causing global warming too. It seems fat people and cows are in line to replace the SUV.
