Will wildlife preserve agents and farmers be required to shove corks up the anuses of all living creatures on their lands.......how about all the pets and their owners?

Then what?

Wouldn't that just delay the inevitable?

Are YOU going to pull the plug? Do you want to be around when someone else pulls the plug?

RE: how about all the pets and their owners?

most pet owners in America usually use the toilet.

You're upset over "regulations"?

Imagine how upset you'd be if you had a cork.

OK that's enough foolishness in this thread, for now/until/unless I get a response.

That's going to be messy when it blows.

I read a study years ago which estimated the methane
Jan 16, 2015 4:27AM PST

production from sheep in New Zealand at some astronomical level.

I also, I finally read an article (which I will try to find) which shows that anthropogenic climate change is far more due to the cutting down of trees world wide than it is to the burning of fossil fuels, or more accurately that we wouldn't have the gross problems we have if we had retained the level of forestation we had around 1930. Certainly emissions are a problem and should be reduced as much as possible, but reforestation would do much more to head off disaster than just doing nothing.
