I’ve heard this theory before from various sources….like Greenpeace. I’m not sure why it would be seen as silly/ridiculous, or why it would mean that humans are off the hook.

Maybe I’m missing the joke.

I think there are many contributors to our climate problem, and fixing them is going to take a variety of sacrifices.

I personally am grateful that we have scientists looking at a multitude of paths and solutions.

Since Koalas are sadly an endangered species,it’s unlikely that their bodily functions could cause much harm. If by some miracle, Australia suddenly has an overflow of koalas, maybe their burps would be an issue. I’m guessing though that the body types of certain animals produce a more detrimental amount of gas.

Although some right-wing climate skeptics might wrongly assume that the sheep-methane issue means they should indulge in MORE lamb and hamburgers…help rid the world of the burping animals. I think most intelligent people understand the economic concept of supply and demand. They would know the solution is to eat LESS meat and diary products.

Wasn’t it the Australians that had the advertising slogan: Eat beef, you bastards! Maybe you need to dust that one back off, but for mutton.

So they should be encouraging us to consume the farting lil woolly backs by dropping the damn price on those delectable lamb chops that tempt with their come hither look highlighted by the sprig of parsley coyly placed to one side…….. *mopping up drool*

Penny wise, pound foolish leaps to mind….
In the US, as in the UK, cows have copped the blame. So have bakeries, for the CO2 gas given off when bread rises.

Um, yeah. What Sharon said. We could do so much with all of those great Australian minds. We could make real changes. If only someone with real power had the guts.

I just discovered lamb chops this summer. They were SO GOOD that I’m afraid to try them elsewhere lest they be disappointing.
