The releae of gas is, by definition, uncontrolled to some extent. Methane gas escaping to the air is disastrous as it has considerably more global warming potential than carbon dioxide. It also normalises the burning of fossil fuels at a time when we are starting to see a move to more renewable energy. Anything which increases supply of fuels like that is necessarily not a good thing for the global environment. According to reports cows farting is contributing to global warming. I'm all for shutting down all Burger outlets to reduce the breeding of those smelly cows, who's with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassnahalf Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'll make this easy, I've read the arguments on here and now believe it is a good idea. Watch out for that methane cloud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 With all this methane gas increasing global warming I looked into the cow farting process but was shocked to find that we humans are also responsible for methane release through farting. Humans pass gas through farting at a rate of 0.5 - 2Ltrs per day of which up to 26% is methane and as the world population dramatically increases you can see the problem in that the planet will be enveloped in a cloud of farted methane, is this one of the reasons why the Chinese ordered by law one child by couple? interesting. Now as I mentioned earlier to reduce the cow farting problem we should boycott burger outlets, but this could increase vegetarianism and unfortunately vegetarians fart more methane than meat eaters! due to their high intake of vegetables especially cabbage. So with us and the cows farting, landfill waste, sewage plants, fracking etc we are feckin doomed unless we help a little by somehow stopping shiting and farting.

You are aware that plenty of people have argued that the unrestricted growth of the meat industry has contributed detrimentally to climate change.

And as I found out we humans are just as bad, surely the Green Party could introduce a bill to penalise farting to reduce methane release into the atmosphere.

welshbairn Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 If there are tens of thousands of fracking wells in the States, someone should be able to come up with a definitive answer as to whether there's a safe way of doing it, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti-fracking people are just as biased, their natural hostility to carbon emissions leads them to twist all the other data against it. I'd like to see some unemotional and non-greedy assessments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossbill Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's difficult to shake the feeling that the ability of the Scottish Government to ban fracking (or even have an effective moratorium) will somehow be taken away in the Brexit power grab. I can definitely see Scotland getting fracked to f**k, against it's will, in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
