Udder Nonsense   Alan Joseph Ba | Jan 21, 202

The Left tends to ignore large swaths of data or technical considerations in order to get to a pre-approved “scientific” conclusion. Enron also hid its debts to paint a rosy economic picture, and we all know how that turned out.

The latest fad, pushed by the massive French yogurt company Danone, is to put diapers and masks on cows. The press reports made no mention of pacifiers. The ostensible idea is that cows, those indispensable sources of yogurt and ice cream, produce large amounts of methane both forward and aft. As anyone who has been awake for the past decade knows, methane is much, much worse than carbon dioxide in trapping reflected radiation and thus heating up our planet. While past attempts to deal with cow flatulence have included altering feed so as to produce less gas, the goal of the French is to trap the gases and prevent their release into the atmosphere. If one looks at pictures of the diapers, they by no means seem hermetic and I kind of wonder how efficient they will be in trapping CH4 molecules. While on the one hand I am glad that they have found a use for the leftover Covid masks (now selling in Israel at 10% of their peak price), I hope that the cows will still be able to recognize one another.
