Well I had beans with dinner, so I expect to
contribute a small amount to global methane
output tonight, ha ha. Can't speak for the other
seven billion people, and their cattle, and
their rice paddies...

<there is no evidence that any portion of the
emission is due to human activity>

If a cow farts in a field and Ground Zero isn't
there to hear it--did it ever happen?

Doesn't matter what you believe anyway. Al Gore
has started a religion and there are more of the
faithful every day. I am mostly ambivalent about
it--but it will affect the election. How much is
real and how much is imagined and how much is
nonsensical hysteria--well it does matter if Americans
start making increasingly stupid choices about it all.

Humans are obviously contributing to the CO2 increase,
and human activities do result in some methane output.
The degree it contributes to global warming is up for
debate (though not by us). Maybe solar output accounts
for 40% of the slight warming of late. And maybe C02
accounts for half, and methane is 10%. It is also possible
that global warming is nothing but a blip in natural
cycles. You and I don't actually know anything, but
I do see the religion beginning.

I don't actually care if Seattle, my city, gets five
90 degree days a summer versus the normal three. And
if there are only fifty good skiing days a winter instead
of eighty, I can cope. So, now you know where I stand.
