Emulating the Big Guys.

It seems that climate change is now a universally recognised fact, and the consensus of opinion among the well informed has swung very much towards accepting that we humans have caused it. We’re putting it down to over-consumption of natural resources, excessive use of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc, etc.

Well, it seems there was another period of global warming 150 million years ago, and the scientists now think they’ve discovered who the culprit was that time. Do you want to know? Wait for it...

Farting dinosaurs!

That’s a hard act to follow. We’re doing well. And I wonder why the name of one Mr Donald Trump went through my mind when I heard that.

I've heard theories about farting and burping cows. They're full of methane gas. lol.

Indeed. Seems the huge herds of cows needed to fuel the fast food habit are also helping to fuel climate change.

But anyway, the scientists have now scaled up a cow's methane ouput and said 'Hell! Get those dinosaurs.'
