Bovine CO2 Emissions


by Othelia

That fine politician and government man John Boehner showed up to the TV show This Week on ABC today, even though he probably oughta have been at church instead. He was asked about greenhouse gas emissions, and what the GOP's plan was to fix things up. 

Boehner jumped right on in, and said, "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know when they do what they do you've got more carbon dioxide."

"It's clear we've had change in our climate," he added. "The question is how much does man have to do with it and what is the proper way to deal with this? We can't do it alone as one nation."

Scientifically speaking, there's no point in controlling our farmer farts until the rest of the world controls their cow farts, he said.
