New Burger King Commercial?

So this Burger King commercial just passed on my screen on the TV. I had to take a Screenshot of it. Really? Sorry, I had to laugh at this one.

Indeed!.  There are natural methane releases at various places on earth that it would take 10 zillion cows to equal.  What about human xxxxxx?  I would suggest a fine for public farting. We could have special police to monitor all this.  I can see a new TV series called the "Fart Patrol". Or a new documentary on a new industry that collects cow xxxxxx as a fuel source. (aka Thunderdome?)
Personally, I think that the inmates are running the insane asylum.  When I see what is going on in NYC, Chi, Seattle, I am sure of it.
I predict tough times ahead for the sane folks. (is that us?) :2cents:

Just read this:  "Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Of that amount, methane emissions from livestock (called enteric fermentation) comprised more than a quarter of the emissions from the agriculture sector."

So, if my math is correct ALL livestock would produce 2.5% of the total greenhouse gas released.  So beef cattle that ends up just as hamburger is what?  one quarter of 1% of total emissions. So Burger King's share of that is minuscule.  And I see they are marketing it as a special hamburger, so probably a special price.  PR stunt for sure
