And I thought they were just wasting Tax Payers money to find stuff liek this out...

Hmm... Well, does this mean that by drinking milk, I'm supporting the Terrorist Cow's plot to end the world with bad gas?

[Banff]

I wonder what Lake side Parkers are going to say about that anyway all you people in Brooks Alberta are going to die before everyone else . Peew what stench that place is especially with the west sw nw wind

[Indelible]

it's bad around lethbridge too

After the cattle have dropped their loads then they pass on the baton to humans.

Beef and bean burritos with beer and Heinz garlic pickles will add a second, much denser layer of flatulence in the West.

So who pollutes the most? Masai warriors have large herds of cattle. They burn wood from trees to keep warm at night. They drink a brew made from sour millet. Two ears of corn for supper washed down with 2 pints of home brew can harmonize toots with a cud chewing cow until the crack of dawn.

Just west of lethbridge on #3,when I ride the bike in it just about knocks you off your seat,further west in the nutbar town of monarch the stinks so bad that the shit flys are everywhere. I agree about brooks,that has to be one of the worst smelling towns in Alberta,even worse then hinton.

Here's an interesting article on composting cow dung rather than stockpiling it, it is supposed to cut down on smell, and gas emmissions, but is somewhat expensive at the moment:

Composting cow manure significantly reduces harmful greenhouse gases linked to global warming while also cutting back on its foul smell, according to a new Canadian study

If we only killed off the unproductive and surplus populations in the world along with the handicapped who purposely waste resources then the global warming issue would be resolved. I figure if we "reduce" about five billion people we can bring the planet back to sustainable levels.






Of course I'm being saracastic, but I'm also paraphrasing Pete Singer who has proposed doing exactly this. Radical environmentalists are pursuing depopulation as a strategy to "save the planet".

The most radical of those propose exterminating all of humanity.

Except themselves, of course.

yeah....i remember coming home thru lethbridge from calgary late one night to visit my folks here (i lived in calgary at the time) and you take the #2 south to fort mcleod then the #3 east to lethbridge, and you know when you're getting close when you start to smell the feedlots......a little before you hit coalhurst is where it's the worst.....

[Clogeroo]

Maybe Ralph Klein wasn't so far off with his dinosaur farts comment.

[Mr_Canada old]

Occasionally, when the wind is blowing North, my entire town is filled with the smell of Cow Farts/Shit. Ew.

Don't know who that guy is or details of his Idea(s), but would point out that "De-population" can be done without committing Genocide. Birth Control will work just as well, but would take a few generations before significant Population decreases would occur.

With Current Technologies we certainly could not have the First World Lifestyle extend to all other parts of the World. This enters the Realm of Sustainablilty, an idea that is catching on and increasingly showing itself to be necessary. This is where De-population comes in, with fewer People you can extend the First World Lifestyle into the Third World(raising them up).

Of course that's not the only way to accomplish that. New Technology can solve the problems with Current Technology, but one can not know what will be Developed in Technology, so to solve a Problem you have to assume that the Present is as good as it gets, but know that in time your original "solution" may no longer be necessary. By knowing what needs to be done with Current Technology to solve a problem, it also helps to focus Research in the more important needed areas.

100 years from now there'll likely be many people who look back on this guy and think he was a certified Nutcase(maybe he is :shrug;), but it is likely that his "nuttiness" will have been the Catalyst for others to address future problems.
