From Burger King, without comment.
Cow farts and burps are no laughing matter. That’s why we’re working to change our cows’ diet and help fight climate change.

Seriously?
Thanks for the Friday Funny, er on a Tuesday.
Gas-X for cows?
Maybe my Bean-O stock investment will finally pay off.
What effin climate change? Hint, it’s that yellow thing in the sky, morons!
“No laughing matter”.
I beg to differ and I will, just as soon as I stop laughing.
I’m speechless. This is unreal. Where does it stop?
They came up with a Whopper of an idea.
wither at the beginning OR end of the digestive tract…
How deep is the depth of crassness and inanity?
What a silly question.
All the way down of course.
Note to self: Don’t eat at Burger King anymore. Low Carbon Land? Please, give me a break.
I have to admit it though: The kid in the white hat and clothing in the video did a very nice job.
Cowboy Greta.
The inmates have surely taken over the asylum.
I never thought I would be glad to be an old man in average health.
I’ll likely be gone, and someone will have to clean up this mess.
We can only hope that that ‘someone’ is from our side, and not from Russia, China, or one of the Islamic cockamamie theocracies.
My two Longhorns can fart all they want and F anybody that doesn’t like that.
It appears that since they stop with the grass feed over the last three months of the beeves lives, the beeves produce less methane (?) during this time, and Burger King is going to claim that they are doing this to save the climate.
(And there are only 5 people of color (if Asians are officially included as such) in the video; And they ripped those poor kids out of their culture and made them wear ridiculous clothes; And they paid the white singer & the old white guy in the elevator more than the others people of color; And so this just proves that Burger King has a culture of systemic stupidity as well as systemic racism);
Bizarre…the kids really are brainwashed and so it appears, is Burger King. I suppose they are just trying to ahead of the Mob that will soon be burning down their joints, because climate change and evil poisonous CO2.
But really, wouldn’t the same grass the tens of millions of Bison used to eat do the same thing? Or wouldn’t the grass if left to its own devices just rot back to methane and CO2 anyway? It is all terrestrial ‘carbon’ instead of fossil carbon, so their whole argument is busted anyway. Next…
In North America, methane emissions from cattle are indeed calculated to be about the same as the methane emissions once produced by the vast herds of bison that used to roam the continent. Who would have guessed that Buffalo Bill Cody was such a farsighted climate activist?
Ruminants actually produce very little EXTRA in terms of, what is finally Carbon Dioxide.
Plants turn CO2 into proteins and sugars. One of two things happens
1. The cattle eat the plants and process them
2. The plants rot and produce CO2 and Methane which quickly becomes CO2.
I animals eat the plant some of the C is stores as fat and protein. The remainder is exuded in the form of s..t and farts. S..t goes back to the soil and into plants. The Methane produced quickly becomes CO2 which is, AGAIN, used by the plants to produce plant growth. PLEASE!!! Somebody!!! Please show me how a single atom of carbon is created????????? Sure ,if animal numbers suddenly expand rapidly, you get a very very minute increase in Methane levels. The effect is indiscernible in reality.
Yes. Like Lachaln said.
I have explained this umpteen times, but it falls on deaf ears. People should always ask “so where does the Carbon go?” Same argument goes for planting trees.
There are (at least) two carbon cycles: Fast carbon cycle (approx 5 years): carbon is removed from the atmosphere, resides for a while in an animal or plant, then through some form of digestion returns to the atmosphere. Slow carbon cycle (hundreds of thousands of years): carbon is, for example, removed from the atmosphere in plankton shells and sinks to the ocean floor as deposits of limestone.
Farting around with the fast carbon cycle has no significant impact on CO2 in the air.
> “Somebody! Please show me how a single atom of carbon is created.”
Well, it’s quite simple, really:
They took a global tour – some magic cows to find
They took great care to guarantee their brains were left behind
For cognitive impairment has to seem to be quite sound
Or denialist projection won’t be seen to hold its ground
But where do the magic cows all live, the ones creating heat?
The cows that fart by magic much more carbon than they eat?
For magic cows make carbon and they have to let it go
Releasing evil carbon to the atmospheric flow
Where was this global tour? – the magic cows were there
Where food for magic cows is made with carbon from the air
Now carbon makes the world go round and magic cows all know
That alchemizing molecules with magic makes them grow
Where comes the extra molecule? No cow has ever told
But man’s deludination loves a witch’s tale that’s bold
And “carbon-neutral” undermines the meme men try to sell
While magic molecules are wrought by alchemy so well
Not to mention the fact they are a carbon sink, like trees.
They should be dried, pelletized, and sent to Drax.
Guilt-free whoppers from Burger King? Or, actually, Guilt-reduced whoppers? from Burger King. What will Wendy come up with to top this? Big Mac attack? WATTS certainly has a mixed audience!
Climate change knob has two farts:
Fart 1: CO2 with atmospheric concentration 400 farts per million
Fart 2: Methane with atmospheric concentration 722 farts per billion
He has a great voice, shame he cant actually play guitar.
More than a few medias you watch have been “shopped”. Everything you see and hear can be adjusted so the scene bares no resemblance to the original action. All it takes is money.
This ad was very well polished.
Dear BK,
Get back to me after you first present the scientific data that shows methane is a significant cause of climate change™.
BTW, just citing that methane is a “greenhouse gas” won’t cut the mustard, as they say.
Wow! That was really lame…..
I’m so Beyond BK.
Yep. BK and Wendy’s lost this customer when they took a knee and paid off BLM. Both chains have many stores in truck stops, but this trucker ain’t buying their stuff. Increased the larder in the truck.
It’s not the cows that make the methane. It’s the bacteria that live in their guts. With all that’s been discovered lately about the importance of gut bacteria for human health, it’s positively cruel to even think of modifying the interior biology of cattle guts away from the way that nature intended it to be.
I didn’t hear them mention feeding them kelp, which supposedly reduces the methane emission. I suppose that could just be another feed, but what if they wipe out the natural kelp ‘forests’ for methane free burgers. Oh, the insanity. Sure am glad I discovered this site many years ago now, and have learned to think more critically. That’s the purpose of all these articles, right?
PLUS the grass they didn’t eat ROTS and turns into METHANE!!!!!!!!! NOTHING changed.
This is what the models don’t include – the NATURAL production of Methane from rotting vegetation.
I’m sure it will make their sales go up into the atmosphere like that veggie burger that they came out with did.
I think it’s a struggling corporation trying to come up with a gimmick to try to restart the company, rather than retool and work to make restaurants that people want to go because of service.
I always like the charbroiled burgers. But not the wait to get them.
It’s nonsense. It’s nonsense. It’s nonsense! Please stop !

Burger King debuts a Whopper made from cows who burp less methane
Burger King will begin selling Whoppers sourced from cows that belch out less methane as the fast-food industry grapples with a questionable sustainability record.

The Vegan alternative runs into the same problems.
I want to know who is going to count the cow farts.
There are more environmental engineering degrees being given out than can be actually used (or turned into an engineering license).
Now they have something to do.
I think this is cattle abuse.
Surely the production of rice in paddy fields and the Methane it produces, the staple diet for the vast majority of the World (and growing by millions every year), far exceeds the falling consumption of Beef?
Possible record rice crop in India this year

More marketing bullmethane..
Well, I won’t even be driving by a Burger King from now on.
Maybe BK should focus on making their food edible and accurately fulfilling orders. They are the absolute worst fast food chain for quality and service. Not that I eat a lot of fast food, but it’s one that never tempts me.
Advertising appeals to the stupid and gullible, so this is quite appropriate.
