Vocab Builder

As a public service I wanted to keep WLakeans updated on stuff that happens outside our commumity. KC Star yesterday had an interesting article on gobal warming. The piece that caught my attention was the discussion of methane and its contribution to our warming atmosphere (gee, what happened to the warming the last couple of days?).

Enteric fermentation: Belching and flatulence from cattle which releases methane.

Did you know the biggest Dairy herd in the country today is in California ?

Do you remember what the air in LA looked like in the 70s and 80s compared to how the air is now ?

More cows farting than ever before!

The Clean air act of 1970 championed by Howard Baker required technology that was not even developed until 1975

Legislation drove the development of device called a catalytic converter.You may have seen the recent Exxon commercial that says auto emmissions have been reduced by 85%

Of course back then this was a case of the government trying to go too far and said it would unfairly burden the automobile industry.


Challenging the fact of man made Global Warming really only serves one purpose selling books and getting radio ratings

Its the second biggist lie of the year behind "death panels"

Too bad as time goes by and the successes mount up it is just looks more and more like sour grapes and cow farts

This is not what Nancy meant when she said just say no.
