Global Warming Alarmists Looking At Literally Slaughtering Sacred Cows

India’s sacred cows are causing global warming, and some environmentalists think they have got to go. Or at least be put on special diets so they quit farting and burping so much.

Indolent cows languidly chewing their cud while befuddled motorists honk and maneuver their vehicles around them are images as stereotypically Indian as saffron-clad holy men and the Taj Mahal. Now, however, India’s ubiquitous cows – of which there are 283 million, more than anywhere else in the world – have assumed a more menacing role as they become part of the climate change debate.
By burping, belching and excreting copious amounts of methane – a greenhouse gas that traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide – India’s livestock of roughly 485 million (including sheep and goats) contribute more to global warming than the vehicles they obstruct. …
Last month, scientists at the Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad in western India published a pan-India livestock methane emission inventory, the first ever, which put the figure at 11.75 million metric tons per year, higher than 9 million metric tons estimated in 1994. This amount is likely to increase as higher incomes and consumption rates put more pressure on the country’s dairy industry to become even more productive.

Right. And we don’t want more productivity. We must suppress productivity to save the environment. And since producing anything emits carbon and methane and other greenhouse gases into the environment, the end goal here seems to be all of us subsisting on bread and water while laying as still as possible in darkened rooms.
That sounds like hyperbole, but think about it. The enviro-nuts want to regulate everything in the name of “global warming.” From where we have our thermostats set to the color of our cars to how many cows we have. Nothing is safe, because again everything we do causes global warming. According to the environmentalists.
Which makes it the perfect vehicle for totalitarianism, doesn’t it? If everything we do aids in the coming climate change apocalypse, then the government has the endless leverage it needs to regulate and control…everything.
