Interesting that you blame "methane". Let's assume for a minute that you are right. The bulk of methane emissions, as this layman understands it, comes from the livestock industry. Well, if Al Gore and rest of the hokums were REALLY serious about stopping global warming they would advocate for the slaughter, tomorrow, of ALL of the Earth's livestock, or at least those in the U.S, because it is their farting that is causing the methane emissions. Not only would this cut down on methane emissions but save our water table to a great degree and feed MORE of the world peoples because the cow-as-middle-man between grain and human is cut out (about 10 lbs. of grain is consumed by cows to make 1 lb. of edible meat) and more can be fed with the grain. This can all be done within, literally, a few months...and at relatively little cost. But changing the transporation infrastructures of the world would take...well, we see how difficult that is. So I take the global warming alarmists with a HUGE grain of salt. Easy solution, but NONE of them ever suggest it. And I would be all for it and I don't even believe in the global warming cult. > A lot of it depends on how well, if at all, the geosphere is able to mimic > the human body and recover a la the Gaia hypothesis and some sort of > planetary homeostasis.
