So it's Not Cars??!!

The latest round of junk science offers this bovine brief:
A United Nations report has identified the world's rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife.
This short piece is full of insight:
Livestock also produces more than 100 other polluting gases, including more than two-thirds of the world's emissions of ammonia, one of the main causes of acid rain. And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the oceans, from poisoning rivers and drinking water to destroying coral reefs.
It would then make sense that, since we are in the middle of cattle country, my cars are at high risk of acid rain?

Good thing the UN scientists aren't on the Cahoona trip. You'd be trying to swing a golf club with a filter attached to your ass!
