Obama to regulate cow farts as part of global warming agenda



Cow Farts - Gateway to Socialism
Marxist Democrats are using cow farts as the excuse
to get control of even more of the economy.


As part of its plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the Comrade Obama regime is targeting the dairy industry to reduce methane emissions in their operations.

This comes despite falling methane emission levels across the economy since 1990.

The White House has proposed cutting methane emissions from the dairy industry by 25 percent by 2020. Although U.S. agriculture only accounts for about 9 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, it makes up a sizeable portion of methane emissions — which is a very potent greenhouse gas.


“Cows emit a massive amount of methane through belching, with a lesser amount through flatulence,” according to How Stuff Works. “Statistics vary regarding how much methane the average dairy cow expels. Some experts say 100 liters to 200 liters a day… while others say it’s up to 500 liters… a day. In any case, that’s a lot of methane, an amount comparable to the pollution produced by a car in a day.”

“Of all domestic animal types, beef and dairy cattle were by far the largest emitters of [methane],” according to an EPA analysis charting greenhouse gas emissions in 2012. Cows and other animals produce methane through digestion, which ferments the food of animals.

It’s not just the dairy industry that the Obama administration is clamping down on. The White House is looking to regulate methane emissions across the economy from agriculture to oil and gas operations — all this despite methane emissions falling 11 percent since 1990.

I never thought I'd see a President concerned with cow farts. What a clown (no offense clowns).

The "farts" is just another excuse to tighten Marxist controls on private businesses.

Marxists say everyone is going to die unless they are put in charge of every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave.
