Hmm.... be nice to see one electron microscope picture of the organism... "HIV". I've seen electron microscope pictures of the Polio Virus, Foot&Mouth Virus and the Herpes Virus. How can they be adding to something they have never seen? (after 25 years of searching and spending $50,000,000 in tax dollars).
"As Richard Eckard, the science leader with the project at the Department of Primary Industries in Gippsland's Ellinbank explains, 95 per cent of the methane produced by a cow comes from breathing and burping. "
"Each cow produced about 130 kilograms of methane a year, he said, helping the agriculture industry contribute one-fifth of the greenhouse gases emitted by Australia - equal to the entire transport sector. "

As well there are 1.5 billion cows in the world (Nature oct 04) - so 1.5 billion times 130 kilograms per cow = 195,000,000,000 kilograms of methane ("green house gases") each and every year!
Do these experts tell us to kill all the cows? Or to stop barbecueing steaks? Or to stop eating burgers? Or to stop drinking milk?...Eating icecream?
It's all about university tenure and research money to hire TA's.
No...both these groups make proclamations about "science" without the applying the standard - that is, a scientific study published in a scholarly scientific journal with peer review. Naturally if they say the sky is falling then $300,000 research grants fall from the tax vaults. Reminds me of HIV=AIDS.
What percent of this planet's life has been in a deep freeze (ice age)? 98% of the 50 or 60 billions years- we should be cheering the planet's getting warmer.
The same people who can't get a 90 day weather forecast right - claim that we little ants can change - the change that's happening for the past 50 or 60 billion years.
There's no proof that we humans are causing the warming.
