Rice Paddies and Cow Farts

 I am not going to say that man has caused the recent heat wave, but man has to be blamed for contributing to weather changes. 

Methane is the second biggest cause of an increase in heat. Rice paddies contribute 20% of worldwide methane. It is said that the biggest contributors in the Unites States are cows and the gas they give off. Yikes!

The Chinese along with American researches are investigating a way to decrease rice paddy methane to nothing. It may be as simple as changing farming methods, which will improve the rice harvest.

The Sun, the bringer of heat, has just completed a sextile with Jupiter and will be making a trine with Saturn on August 17, 2012, which I have heard some mystics say will be a big day. We will see.
