I once worked for the now-defunct US Bureau of Mines. One project was to propose ways to extinguish a long burning underground coal fire in Centralia, PA. This thing never stops burning. Hundreds of feet underground, a pollution engine of incalculable scale.

It's actually too hot to be of use. Once we stuck a chimney down to it to harvest the heat. The 1000'F gas destroyed the equipment in short order.

How many cows equals one coal mine fire in gasses emitted?

The link I pasted in talks about the hundreds of such fires in China. Estimates are 20 million Tons of coal each year. Just China.

No climate alarmists bring this up. But... Hand over your cows!

Or the massive profusion of methane from fracking.... I think I recall estimates that that PA fire will burn for another century yet....

Good article, John.

Climate change has never been about the environment or "sustainability", whatever that means anymore. Back in 2018, another contributor to American Thinker submitted an article revealing in their own words the real motivations of the UN and IPCC collaborators...global communism. They have since admitted further their goals include depopulation:

Of course that never includes them.

Exactly. And I think more people are waking up to their nefarious purposes. I believe cows are a good pathway to wake yet more -- the effort to destroy them runs counter to common sense, and people understandably like cows. So I plan to become the champion of or cow herds!! "Let THEM eat vat-meat and bugs!"

Excellent article. Thank you. It made me think of Bonhoeffer's famous essay on stupidity:
