California’s Legislature has approved regulations on cow flatulence and manure – both blamed for releasing greenhouse gases.

A supplement added to the feed of high-producing dairy cows reduced methane emissions by 30 percent and could have ramifications for global climate change, according to an international team of researchers.

In addition, over the course of the 12-week study conducted at Penn State's dairy barns, cows that consumed a feed regimen supplemented by the novel methane inhibitor 3-nitrooxypropanol -- or 3NOP -- gained 80 percent more body weight than cows in a control group. Significantly, feed intake, fiber digestibility and milk production by cows that consumed the supplement did not decrease.​

Everyone likes 3NOP in their dairy.
It seems to be perfectly safe, but so did MTBE.
Im not concerned with cow methane, but I know some of you are.
 
AN ICE-FREE ARCTIC OCEAN HAS HAPPENED BEFORE

Doom-mongering scientists telling us that the melting Arctic is a disaster conveniently overlook vast chunks of history

http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/arctic-sea-ice/

Some time in the next few decades, we may well see the Arctic Ocean without ice in August or September for at least a few weeks, just as it was in the time of our ancestors. The effect on human welfare, and on animal and plant life, will be small. For all the attention it gets, the reduction in Arctic ice is the most visible, but least harmful, effect of global warming.

Actually, the time referenced in the article, (between 6 and 10 k yrs ago) was a very good time for humankind.
 
Shake, rattle and roll!
I was just south of Oklahoma City on Saturday morning when the 5.6 earth quake hit....
Reminded me of home sweet home.

Mankind has affected the planet to varying degrees since day one.
Its natural.

Hmmm...
Is affect the same as control?

The folks here in Oklahoma had the situation under control...
After a good 45 seconds of rumbling and shaking, didn't see one person leave a dozen three-story apartment buildings.
I'm not sure what affect that had on me....
 
“Technology Miles” Are Good

Greens don’t eat food which has been transported on ships and lorries. This is because ships and lorries produce carbon dioxide. Greens are against “food miles”

iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple Macs are also transported on ships and lorries.

The Greens like iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple Macs because they help to show the poorly pictures of Polar Bears.

Because of this, the Greens have not yet invented “technology miles”
 
Poor People Are Happy People

The Greens live the in the rich countries. Even though their lives are easy, they aren’t happy.

People in poor countries want things that people have in the rich countries. They want things to be cheap and plentiful in their own countries like food, electricity, railway travel and education.

This would make them happy.

The Greens want to poor people to stay poor and carry on living in nature. They look at pictures of them smiling and wish that they were poor and happy like them.

The Greens don’t move from rich countries to the poor countries to be happy and poor, but they do hang pictures of African people on the walls in their houses. To make them happy.
 
What Is The Greens Favourite Plant?

The Greens don’t have a favourite plant. They like all plants and even took their name, the “Greens” from the colour of leaves.

Plants have a favourite gas. It is called carbon dioxide and they grow strong and healthy when they have lots of it.

When plants first evolved there was lots more carbon dioxide in the air, but now there isn’t so much and sometimes kind farmers pump it into greenhouses so plants can grow healthy.

Ironically, Greens like plants and trees; plants and trees like carbon dioxide; but Greens hate carbon dioxide. If the plants could talk, they would probably ask for more carbon dioxide from the Greens by way of thanks. I think that this would make the Greens very grumpy. It would be quite funny to watch.

Plants thrive with more CO2. The current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is 390 parts per million (yes that is per million, it is tiny). This is shown on the far right hand-side of the picture. Just to the left is 800 ppm, these plants are bigger and healthier. Interestingly, during the Cambrian Period, when life emerged, CO2 was 8,000 ppm, 20 times the current level. More CO2 is not a problem.

Over most of the earth, CO2 is not the limiting factor to plant growth - plants are already at limits of water, light, and soil nutrients.

Right, the plants in the appropriated figure were probably grown with nice potting soil, constant everything except CO2. Not to mention that, for many species that have been examined, there's the issue of adaptive downregulation of photosynthesis in the face of elevated [CO2]. Rubisco's a smart little enzyme. Bernie's a horticulturalist and can tell us all about it. The nice thing is that even when satire is too simplistic to be effective its still funny to somebody.

If oil were a gun you would simply out law it.
Do to your combustion engine what you did to your gun... dismantle it and stop using it.

Why would I outlaw oil, I need my car, what's your point?

My point is many bogus Climate Science adherents claim it's arrogant of mankind to think we can control things like Climate, but obviously we can to some degree.
