Garlic-fed cows combat global warming

As there is no global warming - it's all a scam and we know it - why bother?

That's just BS! I just had to say that. Actually methane is in parts per billion and CO2 is in parts per million. Even though methane is 20X more of a heat-trapping gas than CO2, it's effect is 1/50th of CO2 as it is such a very trace gas! Water vapor is responsible for 95-98% of the heat-trapping, leaving CO2 at 2-5% and methane at 0.08% or less. Methane's half-life in the atmosphere is about 7 years and its abundance has been dropping steadily for decades, with the occasional short-lived spike from volcanic eruptions, reflecting its short half-life. CO2's half-life is even shorter, at 5.4 years, significantly less than the 200 and 1000 years reported by the IPCC and NASA, respectively, as they have to have CO2 accumulating in the atmosphere to pretend that it is from human activities. The bottom line is that neither CO2 nor methane has much influence on the climate after the first few percent of its present levels as the effects taper off according to Beer's Law. In the current climate, water vapor is part of the water cycle and the huge global heat engine driven by convection. If these two trace gases were to cause any warming, all it would serve to do is to ramp up the heat engine, delivering energy more rapidly to altitude. Convection is responsible for 85% of heat transfer to altitude, which probably explains why Trenberth cannot find so much of the energy—he ignores the heat engine—thinking all energy is radiative. So, worrying about cow farts, wasting energy and funds on studying cow farts, and doing anything about cow farts is just insane. We have so many real problems, disease, real pollution (not CO2 or methane), famine, unstable, cruel governments, helping third world countries develop so that they can improve their standard of living and have the resources and time to solve their pollution problems. Wasting time on cow farts is thus a criminal activity as it kills people, just as biofuels' raising the cost of food is killing people.

However guys, garlic also helps to keep flies away from livestock or is that an old fashioned myth? I do think there is merit in more research on the effect of herbs in the digestive systems of livestock. I was always under the impression that charcoal was a useful tool in the control of wind.

Dear Mike Parr. Mr Higley never said CO2 (carbon dioxide) has a half life. He did however refer to methane's half life "CH4". You Mr Parr appear to know very little about chemistry!

I sold looseleaf and plug tobacco to the wholesalers and the cattlemen in a five state area in the Northwest part of the United States. The cattleman fed this to their cattle. Cows have two stomachs, in the spring after eating of the wet grasses this would occur.This cleaned out the cows stomachs it worked on the cows.
The cattlemen swore this worked.

Heckvua good job. I sure appreciate it.
