I heard that if humans were extincted, the climate on Earth would never change again. 🤨

(LifeSiteNews) — Microsoft founder and left-wing philanthropist Bill Gates is still brainstorming ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by manipulating cow flatulence, he shared in a recent interview with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.

On the October 30 episode of Hoffman’s “Possible” podcast, Gates explained that while work is ongoing to make cow-less meat more appetizing, in the meantime, “many” other solutions are being pursued to the “problem” of the methane emitted by cows as a result of digesting the grass they feed on, which climate activists claim is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

“So one is to vaccinate the cows in a way that their gut bacteria that emit the methane, which is also called natural gas or CH4, which is the second most important greenhouse gas, you can vaccinate them and that species of bacteria isn’t there,” he said. “Their [cows’] stomachs are very special because they can eat grass. It’s a three-stage fermentation process, basically. There’s another way you can change what they eat, and you could either put that in their water or their feed. There is a drug to change the microbiome, not a vaccine, but a drug. That looks very promising.”

“And then there’s a solution where you stick a sort of a metal thing into the skin of the cow, and it actually burns the methane,” Gates went on. “And all of these look to be quite cheap and implementable, even in Africa. And so this is one where I wasn’t hopeful when I got started a decade ago. And now it’s just a question of which solution for which country ends up being the best.”

^Will da cows have to show their vacc cards to get into the mooovies?

It is mind numbing (?) that such a small percentage can have such large affect. It is understood that if it were to drop too low, say below 200 ppm (.02%), the earth goes into another ice age. The previous high as only 300 ppm - before the Industrial Revolution. Now were are above 400 ppm.

More numbing still is CO2’s relative coefficient of thermal reflectivity - but this is prolly not the place to discuss thermodynamics…..

Funny thing that google. You can find just about anything you want to support your beliefs one way or the other.

"The last time carbon dioxide was so plentiful in our planet's atmosphere was in the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago. Life on Earth was dominated by giant mammals; humans and chimps had shared their last common ancestor. Although the sun's force was about the same, the sea levels were 15 meters higher ( *and ya needed scuba to find Florida) and Arctic summer temperatures were 14 degrees higher than the present day."

While the Biden regime will officially end in less than two months, that is not stopping its former “climate envoy” from issuing inane threats.

As Breitbart reported, John Kerry attended a forum hosted by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics last week to speak about the issues related to ‘climate change.’

During his interview, Kerry stated that he believes America is on the verge of needing to declare a “climate emergency” and that public officials must get the public to “behave” accordingly.

Was this a threat?

“I think personally we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And, we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, everybody.”

“With nearly every record rainfall, heat wave, and coastal storm, New Yorkers are increasingly burdened with billions of dollars in health, safety, and environmental consequences due to polluters that have historically harmed our environment,” Hochul said in a Dec. 26 statement released by her office, noting that $500 billion equates to “more than $65,000 per household.”

The state of New York will charge carbon-emitting companies an estimated $75 billion in climate damage they allegedly caused between 2000 and 2018 under a law enacted on Dec. 26.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the Climate Change Superfund Act into law on Thursday. The law is certain to be challenged in court as a state preemption of federal regulatory oversight.

Adopted by lawmakers in June, the law—which goes into effect in 2028—will annually assess large companies’ carbon emissions across those first 19 years of the 21st century to “repair damage caused by extreme weather” they said aggravated by greenhouse gas emissions.

“New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said Democratic state Sen. Liz Krueger, a lead sponsor of the New York Climate Change Superfund Act.

The bill estimates compliance will cost about three dozen of the state’s largest carbon-emitting companies about $3 billion collectively each year for the next 25 years—$75 billion in total. That would be 15 percent of the $500 billion the Fiscal Policy Institute estimates the law could actually end up costing by 2050.

“With nearly every record rainfall, heat wave, and coastal storm, New Yorkers are increasingly burdened with billions of dollars in health, safety, and environmental consequences due to polluters that have historically harmed our environment,” Hochul said in a Dec. 26 statement released by her office, noting that $500 billion equates to “more than $65,000 per household.”

The money will go into a Climate Change Adaptation Cost Recovery Program to restore and protect coastal wetlands, and upgrade roads, bridges, and stormwater systems, among other infrastructure resiliency projects and programs.

Michigan is poised to cut down hundreds of acres of forest in order to make space for a solar panel development, MLive reported Thursday.

The state will soon start competitive bidding on approximately 420 acres of forested land near Gaylord, Michigan, to clear space for a solar farm while generating revenue and advancing the state’s long-term green energy targets, according to MLive. There is some evidence suggesting that such a move would actually increase emissions, and Michigan is one of the least-sunny states in the country, according to analysis conducted by The Washington Post.

“Not incredibly popular with everyone,” Scott Whitcomb, the director of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) public lands office, told MLive. “I will be frank about that.”
