Elephants produce methane, a deadly greenhouse gas. They need to be f**ken wiped out.

To make room for something tasty, like more cows.

Methane is too unstable in an atmosphere like ours to build enough of a concentration to be a greenhouse threat.

More Fake News.
Once again, it seems that you have taken the minority view. Don’t @me because I CBFd giving oxygen to laypersons who think that they know better than phd level academics. It’s like arguing with an oncology radiologist that you don’t have cancer because you read up about it on the weekend and saw some stuff on youtube.


Researchers from Stockholm University on the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean reported from the site that "vast methane plumes" were rising from the ocean floor probably due to a tongue of warmer Atlantic water that is penetrating into the Arctic. The observation shocked the scientists on board who issued a press release. A recent news story on the Oden's mission also reflected their strong concerns.

Meanwhile, a crater spotted in the frozen Yamal peninsula in Siberia earlier this month was probably caused by methane released as permafrost thawed due to higher temperatures, researchers in Russia say. The science journal Nature carried a report of the finding.

The Problem with Methane

Methane is a greenhouse gas as is carbon dioxide. Human activity has increased the amount of methane in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Methane is particularly problematic as its impact is 34 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year period, according to the latest IPCC Assessment Report. A significant source of human-made methane emissions is fossil fuel production. For example, methane is a key by-product of the rapidly rising global extraction and processing of natural gas. Other top sources of methane come from the digestive process of livestock and from landfills, which emit it as waste decomposes.

a good scorer will beat a good golfer any day

I used to play with one of them when I was a regular, at the end of each hole he would nominate his score, so we stopped asking him and put his real score on the card then he'd argue like f**k at the end of the game that we got it wrong

no one ever saw him play to his handicap, he wasn't really fooling anyone
