What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?

We are talking harmful Greenhouse Gases here, right?

Do you know the biggest producer of Greenhouse Gas?

It's from cows producing Methane gas, a gas more destructive than CO2.
Another little tidbit, it's from cow burps. How absurd is that?

I caught all the on a BBC documentary.
I looked it up so can you.

SO!!
You can keep the RV but you have to throw out the BBQ.

I always get a good laugh out of the cow thing.
And yet, the very same people blaming the cows speak fondly of years past when Bison numbered around 60 million and covered the Great Plains.

Did not Bison belch and fart for millenia?

An estimated <100 million bison worldwide compared to 1.4 billion cows world wide today. Not a very good comparison.

I was speaking specifically of my country. I don't claim to speak for the world as some folks here apparently do. But if you want to go there, then consider that there are over 7 billion humans on the globe as well far more than the bovines.

And those humans all exhale CO2 and belch and fart too. And they heat homes and cook over fires, and many drive cars and some, including ones that post on this forum, drive extremely inefficient RVs.

So what is your point and what are your solutions?

Is it OK for you to drive your 8 mpg RV because you may be a vegetarian and don't eat beef or drink milk and therefore don't require those cows? Well, agriculture uses an awful lot of fuel to prepare land, grow crops, transfer them to your store, where you drive to, and then bring them to your heated or air conditioned home or RV and heat them up on your stove, using gas or electricity or a wood fire which all generate more CO2, and then you throw some away, which takes a garbage truck (again using that nasty fuel) to cart them away to a dump, where they decompose and put...hmmm...methane into the atmosphere.
