Hot gas

From the EPA report mentioned below, here's a table from which we can extrapolate the impact of farting on global warming. Republicans love mentioning this one:

So the farting problem (enteric fermentation) is improving, while the (much greater) problems of fuel burning and, well, just about everything else within human control, are getting worse. My proposal: suggest to Republicans that if we get the tonnage of methane emissions caused by "enteric fermentation" below 5000Gg per year, then they drop the "cow fart" complaint altogether. Assuming they accept the proposal, we quite simply place Dennis Hastert into a sequestration chamber for the rest of his life, drastically reducing methane emissions, and then get back to addressing the real sources of the crisis.
