Net bovine atmospheric carbon impact = zero.liveforphysics said:The cows in India alone are a larger greenhouse gas contributer than all of the gas burning transportation in the USA.

Perhaps a whisker of education and/or thought before speaking on a topic?
Methane = CH4
Carbon Dioxide = CO2
1 CH4 = 25 CO2
The plants draw CO2 and bio-sink that carbon. The cows consume the bio-sinked carbon, and if the cows only created CO2, then it wouldn't be an issue at all. However, they create CO2 (not a problem), and a much lighter than air gas (Methane), and each molicule released is 25 times as potent of a greenhouse gas as the CO2 that was taken up.
With respect to CO2, rain forests are fairly neutral as well. With respect to Methane, they are a massive impact.
CO2 is heavier than air, and it can move in bio-cycles. Methane is very much lighter than air, and once it's created, it's forever.
If one is only going to swallow the propaganda pills issued out nightly by the media, then things appear however they make the pill.
Methane is very much lighter than air, and once it's created, it's forever.
The site above said:Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that remains in the atmosphere for approximately 9-15 years.
Not exactly. Methane oxidizes into CO2 and water. Atmospheric methane has a half life of about seven years. "perhaps a whisker..."???liveforphysics said:Perhaps a whisker of education and/or thought before speaking on a topic?

TPA said:perhaps we could install pilot lights on cattle. Oxidize the methane immediately.
I had no idea life was so harmful to the planet.

Whether it is our fault or not things are changing fast, and exactly what can stop it? The aftermath of global warming.
There isn’t much we can do to stop it now because it has been triggered already.

It's not a matter of "stopping it" absolutely and completely effectively, it's more about minimizing future damage.
There isn't much one can do to stop the person attacking you when the attack has been triggered already. For sure, let's not try to stop them from killing you.
EMF said:Don't worry, once the mainstream, corporate owned media finishes misinforming the public and over- hyping the Swine F..ooops I mean H1N1 "pandemic" ( No flu is serious enough to possibly disrupt sales of pork or upset those advertisers) and once the fear campaign has moved all of the vaccines for their pharmaceutical customers, they will return to hyping the global warming/climate change issue for their political friends. Then the taxation process can get underway and "solve" the problem of this doomsday scenario for us.
Cue the polar bears! But, above all: Tune in and Keep the Faith....

The irony is folks like Al Gore with his increadible personal energy consumption and mega consumer practices are the folks shaking their fist at the people actually helping.
