Global Gassing

If you've been reading this blog for a while (not that it's been around long - probably 6 months at most) then you'll know that it isn't uncommon to read a rant of mine about some accepted social or global issue such as dress codes, terrorism, movies and marriage.

Another topic that fits the above list is global warming, which in my opinion is one of the most bizarre and least understood "potential apocalyptic disasters" that are out in the world today. When I was in school back in the good ol' 90's, the Maldives was supposed go underwater in ten years. Well it did - briefly - during the tsunami, for about five minutes; but last time I checked it was still there. And the last time I checked was this February (ok I put that part in just so I could attach this picture I took - sue me!).

Yes, global warming does exist, but global warming is bizarre. And so it's only natural that we come up with bizarre ways to counter it.

According to an interesting article I came across, "The belching and farting of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to Australia's greenhouse gas emissions".

Their solution?

Eat kangaroos instead of cows and sheep. Why? Because they don't fart as much.

I swear I'm not making this up. You can't make this kind of stuff up anyways. Click the link to read it for yourself.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the whole world has gone stark raving mad!
