Rep. Rohrabacher: Global Warming May Have Been Caused By ‘Dinosaur Flatulence’

This week, Congress held its first hearing on the landmark IPCC report on climate change. That report concluded that global warming is “unequivocal” and human activity is the main driver, “very likely” causing most of the rise in temperatures since 1950.

During the hearing, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) — one of the 87 percent of congressional Republicans who do not believe in man-made global warming — questioned the authors of the report about a period of dramatic climate change that occured 55 million years ago. “We don’t know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows?’

Watch it:

Presumably, Rohrabacher was referencing a period known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Then, as in now, “sharp rises in temperature were initiated and driven by large spikes in greenhouse gases. … It took over 100K years for the ocean, atmosphere, and temperatures to return to their previous state. The result was a mass extinction event that took millions of years to recover from.” But scientists believe that massive methane releases from the ocean floors — not dinosaur farts — were the cause.

In sharp contrast to Rohrabacher, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delivered an opening statement recommending mandatory caps on global warming pollution and calling out conservatives for rejecting science. “For twelve years, the leadership in the House of Representatives stifled all discussion and debate of global warming. That long rejection of reality is over, to the relief of Members on both sides of the aisle.”

ROHRBACHER: So, whether or not how dramatic this change will be, or is, what it’s caused by, are things that honest people, I think, can disagree with, and I really personally, having been a journalist, the first thing I was always cautioned by when someone was claiming, well, everybody is on my side, or everybody says this, or there is a total consensus, almost always when people said that to me over my years as a journalist, it wasn’t true. It was that there were honest people who disagreed and significant disagreement on such issues. We don’t know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows? We do know the CO2 in the past had its time when it was greater as well. And what happened when the CO2 was greater since then and now? There have been many cycles of up and down warming. So with that said, I think that we’ve had a great discussion today.

    I’ve heard that Rohrabacher has “dinosaur volume flatulence” when he lets one rip in Congress, too!

    # 6 Yeah, in the case of the Republic party, it’s “garbage out, garbage out.”



  9. pgw says:

    i heard global warming is a result of hanging out with the taliban. any truth to that, dana?


  10. John the Elder says:

    Flatulence sometimes in an indication that the individual is full of crap(polite word) as in this case. What a joke this clown is. I hope all the neanderthals that elected this idiot are proud of their choice to embarass them and make them all look like the neanderthal he is.
    But then, I image that it takes someone who is full of it, to identify it in long dead species.


  11. Wayne says:

    Rohrabacher is obviously an expert on dinosaur farts, since he has shown in the past his expertise of Neocon farts ( Republican Talking Points )

    Rep. Rohrabacher was an editorial writer for the Orange County Register. Makes me laugh.

    Not so laughable is his history with the Taliban. (Any emphasis is mine).

    During the summer of 2001, Rohrabacher made a trip to Qatar that was paid for by the Islamic Institute and the Government of Qatar, according to Rohrabacher’s financial disclosure forms. While in Qatar, Rohrabacher, Grover Norquist, and Khaled Saffuri met with Taliban Foreign Minister Mullah Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil. Wakil reportedly asked for help in increasing the amount of foreign aid sent by the United States to Afghanistan, apparently in exchange for U.S. oil company UNOCAL being allowed to construct of an oil pipeline through Afghanistan. If Rohrabacher was conducting diplomacy, he was in violation of the Logan Act, which prohibits citizens from doing so if not in an official capacity. Rohrabacher told wire service reporters who were present in Doha, Qatar at the time that he had discussed a “peace plan” with the Taliban. But Norquist, a close associate of Rohrabacher, said that the meeting happened accidentally and that it included Rohrabacher yelling at them about blowing up the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.[16]

    The Taliban later announced in Kabul that it had rejected what it considered were unreasonable demands by the U.S. side. Rohrabacher’s staff would not answer questions about the Taliban talks. [17]

    After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Rohrabacher claimed that the attacks were due to incompetence on the part of the Clinton administration. [18]

  14. Clyde the Ripper says:

    It is a statistical impossibility for 86% of 47 Senators (41) to have the same belief based on objective evidence presented independently without some outside influence (bushco). Everyone of them swore to uphold the wishes of their constituents of all parties. For them to blindly follow the orders of bushco is criminal, makes them criminal conspirators, and provides probable grounds for impeachment. Impeachment charges should be filed against all 41 plus botch and dickhead on the same bill. If they are named on the bill of impeachment they have no vote so only 32 Democrat votes could shit-can the whole bunch. Let it happen!

  18. WellAlrightyThen says:

    Dana,

    Hope you’re up for re-election in 08, we’ll be taking that seat too!

    You know I really hope climate change wipes the entire planet clean, and life starts all over again, coming from the depths of the ocean like it has several times before. We really don’t deserve it, a real society would lock these idiots up some place.

    Spoken like a true neophyte. You’re argument applies only to those who denounce Global Warming.


  24. Justin Vicory says:

    Consider it the revenge of the dinosaurs


  25. Mr. Todd says:

    I read the IPCC’s last report on climate change, its mind-numblingly comprehensive, the people who put it together are, you know, super smartypants’s and whatnot. so i sort of wish that we could have seen the reaction of their members to Rohrabacher’s little speech. imagine your rigorous research just sort of being joked about by some neanderthal congressman saying eh, ‘who knows?’. well thats the point, they do know, they’ve been researching it for the past few decades, and now theyre telling you what they know.

    but fortunately for republicans, shame can only be felt when you’re smart enough to realize how stupid your own position is.


  26. veritas says:

    #15 Thanks for the inside info on Dana “Dinofart” Rohrabacher! He needs to talk “turkey” on his involvement with the Taliban rather than what he knows intimately which is dinosaurs….indicative of his own age! This guy is certifiably whacko and needs to be replaced by TRex ASAP!


  27. veritas says:

    Just goes to show ‘ya – “when in doubt, blame the dinosaurs”! What next?


  28. veritas says:

    Now that’s called “passing the buck BIG TIME!”.


  29. wake-n-bake says:

    And if this is the level of intelligence of most elected officials, no wonder we’re so screwed.


  30. itsjustkarma says:

    That’s exactly right. First of all the republican party is a melting pot for the dumbest people America has to offer. Followed by people who truly believe that making fun or ridiculing anybody that comes forward with the truth about the biggest problems of our time is proof of the contrary.
    Stupid does as stupid is. As mentioned in a post above, impeachment of the whole idiotic bunch of traitors to the American public is an urgent neccessity.
    The already and widespread noticed changes in global weather patterns like 8 feet of snow in upstate NY will take care of idiots like rohrschacher and his republican buddies. It will be their constituents who will stone them when
    the full effect of global weather changes kicks in.
    Remember: “Whoever is not with us is against us.”?
    Better: Whoever is not dumb enough is against us.


  31. PEE WEE says:

    I guess it’s about time to put some new batteries in my “Remote Controlled” Fart Machine, and send “The Fart Rep”, a message. To bad I can’t send smell with it!


  32. Mike says:

    This was the wrong clip to put up. Later in this hearing, he asked the panel of scientists if they could say what percentage humans have contributed to CO2 presence in the atmosphere. After being a total dick and interrupting them upwards of 10x, they were able to make the point that the baseline concentration is 270 ppm over the course of the last 10,000 years, and contemporaneous with the burning of fossil fuels, it has risen to 380 (that means about 30%).

    This guy COMPLETELY dismissed the very accurate statement as “not answering his question, and being dishonest.” I live in Baltimore, and I had the thought to go buy a gun, drive to DC and kill him. What a smug a-hole.

    Yeah, those rich 2,500 scientists…bastards. /sarc


  34. GodfryDaniel says:

    This idiot may actually be on to something. After all, the gasoline we burn in our SUV’s comes from rotted dinosaurs squashed into subterranean pools of oil. There must be some dinosaur farts mixed in.


  35. dartagnan says:

    The crucial flaw in the argument of those who claim the present dramatic rise in temperature may be produced by natural causes is that they cannot identify any natural causes that would account for it. We have not experienced any unusual level of volcanic eruptions, methane gas emissions from the ocean floor, meteor strikes, forest fires, cow farts or whatever.

    What has happened over the last two centuries the could account for the massive increase in CO2 levels and global temperatures? There’s only one rational answer: The Industrial Revolution.


  36. djangone says:

    I saw this hearing. Rohrabacher was a disgrace. This excerpt doesn’t do his ugly performance justice.

    His lowest point came when he browbeat Dr. Susan Solomon for nearly five minutes. After beginning with a halfwit suggestion that scientists on the panel were mistaken in beginning their measurements from the 1850 ‘low point’ at the end of the (irrelevant) ‘little ice age,’ he asked Solomon if she could tell him what percentage of greenhouse gases are due to human activity. She answered three times, only to wince as Rohrabacher interrupted and shouted her down each time. His insinuations got more and more weasely (’I asked a simple question an honest person should be able to answer,’ and ‘you’re supposed to be a scientist,’ and repeated talk about ‘honest people’).

    Solomon also pointed him to Chart 1 in the summary for policymakers. Chart 1! Of course, Rohrabacher couldn’t be bothered even to look at the first chart. Typical intellectual standards among that crowd.

    Wait a minute –

    Doesn’t the far right consider dinosaurs to be a Progressive hoax?

    So what, now they are real just for the sake of his asinine comments?


  40. dartagnan says:

    Rohrabacher is an ignorant pig. It’s amusing that he claims to have been a “journalist.” His “journalistic” experience consists of a brief stint as an editorial writer for the (extremely) right-wing Orange County Register.


  41. mike c says:

    comb your hair, dude.


  42. NEVERvoteRepublicanAgain says:

    Is that why his breath smells like dinosaur farts? What an idiot. I am sure all you people in Orange County are very, very proud of your US Representative. In 08 the Democrats just needs to rerun some of these Republic party members statements and their idiot talk. God, what a piece of work!


  43. Theo says:

    Amazing.
    Someone so far deep in the pocket of the energy lobby that he’s willing to make an idiot of himself in front of the entire country.
    Or, he is just that stupid.

    And we humans have built machines to do our flatulating for us, so we can get extinctified even faster!


  46. Douglas G. says:

    This is stupid. Yes, the planet has periods of warm and cool. I remember in 1971 they were worrying about global cooling and a new ice age coming. Of course this conviently gets forgotten in the push to blame someone for what was going to happen anyways. JEEESH!


  47. dartagnan says:

    “Doesn’t the far right consider dinosaurs to be a Progressive hoax?”

    No. The fundies believe dinosaurs existed along with humans in the early days but were wiped out in Noah’s Flood.

    Honest.

  51. John Chriton says:

    No Manhattanite I have to disagree. It is us the American people who are the benchmark for stupidity.
    Because we have allowed this administration to go as long as it has. And all I hear is WAA! WAA! from everyone and there’s nothing being done about it!
    Our Government does not care what we think,want, or anything.
    What part of not listening to us does any of you not understand. It’s not just the republicans! It’s our whole government. They all need to be tossed out on their a$$$$!
    If they was listening then our people would be out of Iraq now!
    We needs to march on Washington and drag all of them out and prosecute them all for crimes against humanity and crimes against this nation. I don’t see any of them doing what they are pledged to do. And thats what we as Americans want them to do.
    So in my eyes they have all committed treason atleast. It seems a 100,000 was not enough. We need 10,000,000 to come down on them then. We have that right you know.
    This administration makes Clintons look like Sunday school. It has violated so many constitutional laws that I think they must have it printed on their TP.
    And us the voters are letting them use it.

    No. The fundies believe dinosaurs existed along with humans in the early days but were wiped out in Noah’s Flood. -Dartagnan

    So why didn’t Noah put any Dinosaurs on the Ark?eh?

    Really these people are delusional, we know that the younger dryas was thousands of years before Christ and that nearly every religion speaks of the flood. Even Plato (Socrates) speaks of it 10,000 years before. The flood is mentioned in alot of different religions.

    In attempting to ascertain funds and/or the political will to offer my fellow skateboarders and me some alternative location to skate–since recent regulations banned the practice outright–I learned a valuable lesson that had nothing to do with skateparks, etc.

    I recall a citizen standing up and addressing the council regarding the need to implement some kind of recycling program. The council’s answer was about as emblematic as any other. It also provided an inside look into the real battle we face here.

    The council member-speaking for all other council members without distraction, responded to these comments by saying that the recycling issue would not, could not and should not be considered a viable option because, “Again, I repeat. Recycling is not for profit.”

    No shit, Mr. Council Man


  59. AStupidAmerican says:

    It must have been because of global worming.


  60. Clyde the Ripper says:

    Simplistically Global Warming is caused by an excess of carbon-dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Plants and trees absorb the CO2, utilize the carbon for growth and release oxygen into the air. Humans breathe the air, retain the oxygen for growth, and release CO2 back into the air. Humans also cut down the trees, pave over the ground where the plants grew, and burn the fossil fuels that release CO2. Hence a double edge sword in the imbalance of supply of CO2. Now to the idea of dinosaurs and dairy cows causing the problem by farting: the flatulence of animals consists of methane, a combustible gas which is a combination of hydrogen and carbon. Methane has no part in the equation. This fool would be right at home in Elephant Fart, Nevada (known locally as Pahrump).

    Clyde the Ripper, a poke at Pahrump! Next up, a Winnemucca witticism? A Laughlin laugher? A Caliente chortler? :D

    But no, methane has a big part in the equation. It behaves worse in the atmosphere than CO2. I’d have to look it up, but I remember that its effect on warming is many times that of carbon dioxide, which is why it’s been termed as a somewhat overlooked dark horse in the equation. Add to that, if the permafrost in Siberia melts, there could be a release of 70,000 million tonnes of methane from frozen peat bogs. That’s one of those ‘tipping point’ things that’d make things a little worse.

    Comment by Clyde the Ripper

    Sadly, it has. Methane absorbs more IR radiation (heat) than CO2. 23-25 times more. If methane streams were just found in digestive animal systems, it wouldnt be a problem, as you point out. The problem is tha natural gas is made up almost entirely of methane. Natural gas will replace oil in some countries, cuz its cheaper to pump or extract. Furthermore, the greatest reserve of natural gas are in Siberia and most of it are still underground…


  81. WaltTheMan says:

    #77 – Steve in CNJ,
    If you produce more or as much CH4 as you do CO2, please supply your location. I do not want to be within 100 miles of the site. My son’s family lives in Fair Lawn, I might suggest that he move to upstate NY. I allways wondered about the odor as I traveled up the NJ Turnpike – problen solved.


  82. Liberal in New Mexico says:

    And this is what our tax dollars are used for? So these old dinosaurs and wind bags can fart in the breeze to see which way the wind of popularity is blowing? Global- warming has been shown to be exacerbated by man-made pollution, so let’s get on with the program, you twits. Rohrabacher: I fart in YOUR general direction.


  83. Jet Mech says:

    I think Dana Rorabacher here is nothing more than a hydrogen sulfide emitter


  84. Patty says:

    I saw the congressional global warming hearing on C-SPAN and was appalled at Rohrbacher’s loudness, rudeness, boorishness in questioning Dr. Susan Solomon about the percentage of made-made versus naturally occurring greenhouse gases. He continually interrupted her, calling her answer dishonest at least five times. What a disgrace.


  85. Liberal in New Mexico says:

    Next time Rohrabacher has to fart he should bend over and get Cheney to hold a lighter up to his ass, just for a little experiment.


  86. Old Lemming says:

    the real danger today is the flatulence issuing from rebubbacan mouths … you’d think that this “man” would be as much of an embarrassment to the voters of his district [parts of Orange County and Long Beach] as he is to the rest of California and the U.S., indeed the world.

    P.S. by admitting that there even was a 55 million years ago our beloved idiot dana, that staunch defender of jackoff abramoff and script writer to the K St. lobbyists and beloved of the amerikan taliban [neocon, far right, religious bigots and hypocrites led by the ayatollah robertson and imams falwell, f. graham, dobson, wildmon, reed, et al], maybe … just maybe … this ignoramus has overstepped the limits set for him by his benefactor Trinity Broadcasting [controlled by one of the imams and located conveniently in OC].

    Hey, Guys!

    I said it was a simplistic explanation. I guess I was as bad as DUHbya–don’t confuse me the facts, my mind is made up. I was being my usual sarcastic self and got called. Good work and thanks for the education. Actually, however, the human contribution to the warming effect does not include the release of methane but the release of the combustion result–CO2–as most natural gas is burned for energy. Even the oil wells usually have provisions for burning off the excess natural gas. Again just a thought. If I am wrong again please tell me.


  90. Liberal in New Mexico says:

    By even talking about dinosaurs, aren’t these dip-sticks essentially admitting to the Theory of Evolution? I don’t recollect Adam and Eve rode to church on thier brontosaurus. If that were the case, it would have been Fred and Wilma… in the Garden of Eden.

    Rohrbacher, when head of the House Science Committee held a hearing the gist of which was to bring back CFCs. His argument, which was bolstered by testimony of Sallie Balliunis and Fred Singer and opposed by every medical, environmental and industry group, was that the new chemicals were less efficient and would lead to more carbohydrates in the atmosphere.

    Comment by Douglas G.

    No, Douglas, this wasn’t conveniently forgotten; one of you neo-con trolls brings it up in almost every thread concerning global warming. Obviously you don’t believe that scientists might have better research methods now than nearly 40 years ago. I also seriously doubt that you are any more of a scientist than Rohrbacher.

    About 25 years ago our family fell in love with Death Valley, of all places. We travelled from Southern California to Beatty or Pahrump (nights) and Death Valley (days) for the weekends. The term, “Elephant Fart,” I think, was a family joke we coined at the time. Now we live in Arizona near Bull (considering the party affiliation of the local politicians) Shit City but still prefer Pahrump, Beatty, and Laughlin over Las Vegas.

    How is that Congressman Rohrabacher can speculate that gassy dinos caused global warming 55 million years ago when he is also a believer in Creationism, which stipulates that the Earth is only 6,000 years old?

    And, btw, what kind of God would make so many animals of mass destruction?

    Dinosaur Flatulence And Climate Changes
    San Francisco Chronicle, October 23, 1991

    New Scientist also ran an article on the climate altering effects of dinosaur farts ast around the same time. Of course, that’s not on line.

    Rep. Rohrabacher may have read the Chronicle back in 91, and remembered the story. I recall the New Scientist article as one of their funnier pieces, but have never been stupid enough to bring it up in serious conversation.

  186. Luke says:

    I doubt that Rep. Rohrabacher actually thinks that previous periods of warming were caused by dinosaur farts. What is clear, though, is that most Republicans think the issue of global climate change is a semantic game–as long as they can find a Timothy Ball or a Richard Lindzen who questions the existing science, they think they can stonewall for another year. I see no evidence that any prominent person in the Republican Party has made a serious effort to educate himself/herself on the issue.


  187. Jet Mech says:

    Tangent;
    DALLAS — Texas’ largest Baptist group is taking a rare step into environmental advocacy, working to block Gov. Rick Perry’s plan to speed the approval process for 18 new coal-fired power plants.

    The Christian Life Commission, the public policy arm of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, is mobilizing Baptists against the coal-fired plants and urging the convention’s 2.3 million members to voice their opposition to state lawmakers.

    dixie – it was exciting… even my daughter went with me!

    we were walking up the street after parking a few blocks away, a little late besides, and could hear the roar of the crowd even before hearing the words spoken…

    we rounded the corner and saw the crowd – wow! … obama was already speaking and we inched in closer… i took some pictures, but he will be blurry as i had to zoom in and it was still so far away!

    the people were so upbeat, happy to hear the great ideas and options and plans… everyone was smiling and seemed happy, even in the cold…

    i could barely hear a group of anti-choice yellers at times, but they could not even make a dent in the vibes of that gathering of hopefuls!

    it really was a beautiful day! i’m especially thrilled because my daughter OFFERED to go with me – she knows i’m passionate about this politics stuff, but she’s just started to understand that it’s her FUTURE, not just “politics”… she had a good time and was glad she went…

    IDEA

    Rather than a daily “walk-off”, let’s continue to totally ignore, (or at the least, talk ABOUT them but never TO them), and whenever a troll posts totally insane offensive crap, let the thread die until we begin posting ON TOPIC, en masse to physically block the bullsh*t. And if IT rears it’s ugly head during a robust, multi-post debate, actively post EVEN MORE thoughts on topic to drown out the dope of dopes.

    Besides, don’t these idiots realize that by creating more posts/traffic on this site only increases it’s viability?

    ps. juan i liked your response to being called a modern day communist
    Comment by karlx

    Communism is a taboo word in a place where only capitalism is accepted. Communism is simply a response against the unjustice produced by capitalism. A vulgar attempt of communism was executed by Stalin, probably even before, and it evolved into a totalitarian regime that had nothing to do with Lenin´s ideas. Too much bad propaganda for either side, in my opinion.

    I have never understood whats wrong with wanting the same opportunities for everybody.

    Comment by karlx — February 10, 2007 @ 10:44 pm

    Take note:

    1) Provide no links. Just slurs and crap.

    2) Put words in your opponents mouth by twisting the reply.

    3) Twisting “cause and effect” using tortured logic.

    4) Bottom line goal: Wasting our time and energy and making us angry.

    5) Claiming you’re smarter or went to a great school to prove you’re better or know more or are worth more.

    6) Using weasel words and weasel points from which you back down at the first sniff of an informed link.

    7) Provide links to discredited or biased sources.

    8) Pasting irrelevant telephone book size posts from conservative think tanks.

    There’s more but that’s a start….

    Your truly misinformed fart ola (Joanie/Rachel clone)

    There are as many if not more Christians that are Democrat.
    80% of this country is Christian, 70% of those 80% don’t agree with the culture of corruption that is born from greed, not communism.

    Are you reading worldnetdaily again? Tancredo seems to think like you do, except it will be a Romanesque type demise and not communistic (which no one here advocates anyway)
    From the Tancredo book;
    English historian Edward Gibbon, in penning his classic “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” (ironically published in the year America’s Founding Fathers declared independence from Great Britain), theorized that Rome fell because it rotted from within. It succumbed to barbarian invasions because of a loss of civic virtue, its citizens became lazy and soft, hiring barbarian mercenaries to defend the empire because they were unwilling to defend it themselves. Congressman Tancredo thinks America is following in the tragic footsteps of Rome.

    Privatization is communistic fart ola?

    Congressman Tancredo explains in cogent, rational detail how America is on a similar path. He believes that the incredible economic success and historical military prowess of the United States has transformed a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles of right and wrong into an overindulgent, self-deprecating, immoral cesspool of depravity.

    Huh, so economic success and military prowess, Mr Tancredo says, have made fart ola/rastus the racist, lazy, repetitive, depraved, boring, cesspool dwelling troll that it is.

    Yet the troll won’t even go serve his country. Mr Tancredo, has debunked his own troll ratsass/fart ola

    Dinosaurs ate plants and other animals so they only recycled carbon that was already in the ecosystem. This can not increase global warming as it does not increase the carbon loading in the atmosphere. This is why biofuels are a solution. We presently cause global warming because we unleash carbon that nature has locked away in the form of coal and oil thereby increasing in the ecosystem the amount of carbon. The carbon is released by burning creating CO2, carbon’s most stable gaseous form, which absorbs infrared light emitted by the warm earth and keeps the light energy from escaping into outer space thereby heating the planet. No amount of farting or hot air can cause global warming. Now back to Anna Nicole Smith….

    Whoever feels great to have posted the most disgusting crap must be
    seriously ill and party member of the GOP.
    Like somebody mentioned earlier, maybe if they start to quote TP in regards of Anna Nicole Smith on MSNBC, there is a chance that whole threads will make it into CNN or NBC? How cool would that be, for everybody to see how dumb those republicans really are. Talking about shooting themselves in their own foot.

    If a man and another man can love eachother.

    Why can`t I love my sons like they love me?

    Why would you want to interfere in my, and most importantly THEIR happiness?

    They love their sexual relationship with me, their father.

    I am not one of your direct constituents, but I do have the dubious honor of being from the same state that you partially represent.
    Dinosaur flatulence may have caused earlier warm periods? Yes, and perhaps the current trends in global warming are entirely due to the hot air gushing out of the mouths of idiot politicians like yourself. You and your party have absolutely no credibility on the issue of global warming and you show it very time you open your mouth without thinking. Stop trying to obscure the issue and stop providing political cover for earth-raping corporations that will destroy our children’s inheritance for the sake of new vacation homes in Florida that will end up underwater in 50 years.
    In the interest of putting less CO2 into the air, Sir, kindly shut up.

    Congressman Rohrabacher needs to go back to third grade and work on his basic arithmetic skills. His theory that dinosaur farts caused a rise in earth’s temperature 55 million years ago on dinosaur farts when dinosaurs died out 65 million years means he missed by 10 million years. It is no wonder that Republicans try to limit school funding and PBS educational funding when they themselves are incapable of simple math.

  289. Mauro says:

    The PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum) could not possibly have been caused by dinosaur flatulence (duh) because dinosaurs were already extinct by the Cenozoic Era, of which the Paleocene is the first part — the Mesozoic-Cenozoic extinction was something like 10 to 15 million years before the PETM.

    Which is not to say that animal flatulence did not play a significant role — as with all paleoclimate issues, we don’t have enough evidence to say most anything with certainty, though we do know some things, and given the mammal explosion and the effectiveness of methane as a greenhouse gas, this is quite possible. One of the interesting points about the PETM is that the climate was equable: the tropics were a bit warmer than today’s, but the poles were MUCH warmer than today’s and there was no permanent ice. This hasn’t been reproduced in models by raising greenhouse gas concentrations. The point is that there’s a lot that we don’t know, and even relatively basic physical processes that we don’t understand, about paleoclimate (which is why I work in it). Wrong as Rep. Rohrabacher may be about dinosaurs, there are scientifically believed theories involving animal flatulence and climate warming.


  290. Wee Mousie says:

    Who knew that the Republican party had a flatulence expert?

    So, let me get this straight.

    Farting dinosaurs, who roamed the earth a few thousand years ago during early Biblical days, were responsible for a climate change that took place approximately 55 million years ago?

    The Dems better pass out gas masks now, in preparation for Rohrabacher’s next report.

    Since by 55 million years ago the dinosaurs had been dead for 10 million years those had to be the most persistant crepitations Earth has witnessed. Given this, it is therefore entirely within the scope of possibility that then current life forms were taking their own lives.

  303. linus bern says:

    The important lesson to draw from the cited rise in atmospheric CO2 levels 55 million years ago is not so much whether it was caused by dinosaur farts or the sea bed releasing methane, but the fact that it was followed by mass extinctions on a global scale.


  304. fart says:

    You lefty enviromentalist crack me up. It is obvious he was stating it in hypothetical terms. You crackheads need to stop snorting CO2 and stay out of the sun. The ultraviolet rays from the depleted ozone layer is obviously punishing your fragile state of mind.


  305. Mike says:

    The Honorable Congressman sure left himself open for all the ad hominem attacks. The esteemed gentleman has certainly demonstrated how the “Republican’ts” have effectively marginalized themselves and their party. His statement really does not warrant a response, nor does the “follow the money” comment. Unless the Global Warming naysayers can produce facts that discredit the theory they should butt out of the discussion. Otherwise they contribute nothing and deserve to be ignored. We should not condone ignorance and superstition as admissible in a serious discussion about our species’ continued survival.


  306. himselfe says:

    I have no comment on this video, since there is not enough background in this small snippet for me to make an informed decision. However the following comment by John the Elder made me chuckle:

    Flatulence sometimes in an indication that the individual is full of crap(polite word) as in this case. What a joke this clown is. I hope all the neanderthals that elected this idiot are proud of their choice to embarass them and make them all look like the neanderthal he is.
    But then, I image that it takes someone who is full of it, to identify it in long dead species.

    Do you see the irony of that statement? By identifying flatulence in a long dead species (Neanderthals) does that mean that you are full of it?

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this guy in any shape or form, like I said I don’t know enough to make a valid judgement, I just found your statement amusing.

    Alley said it every 30 seconds…. he seemed to be an honest scientist…

    but chickee poo # 1 couldn’t handle saying that… so she would spin the question into something that she did have an answer for… but… he wouldn’t have it… she kept trynig to bring the average PPM of CO2 from then, versus now… which isn’t what the question was…

    it was nice to see… as an engineer who is always arguing the conclusions vs. the observation… I have become an expert at recognizing these tactics… and it kills me that someone would put their sceintific credibility on the line to promote an adgenda… like she did…

    it is easy lady…. just say.. “I don’t know, nobody knows”… it makes you look a hell of a lot smarter to say that.. than to act like you do…when you don’t….

  325. stormkrow says:

    I have worked in Oil and Gas for many years. It wasn’t until the gas crunch years of the late seventies that Big Oil actually began a focused effort to reclaim natural gasses. Up until then most wells were drilled and then “vented”. The venting process allows the natural gas to escape unimpeded unfiltered directly to the outside air. This is still a common practice for most well heads in the Middle East since natural gas infrastructure is mostly not in place at the time of drilling. In those instances the natural gas escaping or being vented off is ignited and burned to prevent explosive gas accumulation within the vicinity; this is known as a flare. It is quite common for older trash dumping grounds within the US to have several vent holes drilled with flares to prevent methane gas build up. Is this caused by man; well of course it is but hey they couldn’t get at that sweet sweet oil any other way.
    I had read somewhere that Iran vents upwards of 85% of all wells and Saudi Arabia vents over 50%. There simply is no profitable means of collecting and transporting that Natural Gas to an open market. Primarily Natural Gas where ever it is being used is pumped from some local reserve. In the US most of our natural gas comes from Wyoming, Texas, Alaska and Utah and not from the middle east. The safest means available for delivering natural gas is by pipeline. It is by far one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels but the added expense of delivery makes it difficult for big oil to achieve profitability; and that’s why most (800+) of our largest power plants use coal. Coal is the easiest to deliver and is also the dirtiest fossil fuel to burn. There is a misconception that CO2 emissions comes primarily from automobiles but the fact is most CO2 comes from our power plants. What is even more interesting is that BushCo and the GOP has successfully removed CO2 from EPA monitored emissions paving the way to allow the state of Texas to build 19 more coal burning power plants. Their rhetoric was that since CO2 is emitted by plants it is a naturally occurring phenomenon and therefore should not be monitored. Hopefully with our new congress the EPA will be forced to closely monitor CO2 emissions from all man made sources and primarily from power plants. The cost of “scrubbing” the emissions becomes enormous to retrofit existing plants so much so that some of our older plants would have to seriously consider using an alternative fuel source for the burners as opposed to lost profits from a plant shut down during a retrofit. Either way if Dick and his energy task force have their way then the US will move to an entirely deregulated energy market and will then be able to pass the cost onto their customers. What does that look like? Ask Californians about their electric bill. Or for instance here in a deregulated Texas where we pay .14 cents a kWh or about $500 a month to heat/cool a 2500 sq.ft. home. The average charge for a kWh in a regulated market like Ohio or Indiana for instance is roughly 9 cents a kWh.
    Should (hopefully) congress force the EPA to monitor CO2 emissions and the GOP have their deregulated market then the average cost for a kWh becomes exponential. It is not unrealistic to say the cost would be about 20 to 25 cents a kWh or roughly $1000+ a month for a 2500sq. ft home.
    Just an FYI. By the way we sure could use those dinosaur farts to help power our homes.


  326. ReallyNOseriously?!! says:

    “Global warming follow the money” really Scott?? Who benifits more financially? All those scientists claiming global warming is casued by man and Al Gore or Exxon, BP, the coal companies, the American Motor comapanies, GE (check the latest lobbying efforts to ward off legislation curbing polition by their trains), the manufacturing sector, the oil pipline companies, the oil exploration companies, the oil drillers, Dow Chemical. Yep, you’re right…follow the money.


  327. ReallyNOseriously?!! says:

    stormkrow. Great blog entry. Natural gas can be profitable if there is enough demand in the market. A “national highways” like project creating hydrogen fuel stations and delivery systems would help build the necessary infrastructure in a short amount of time and cost relatively little in comparison with the costs of going to war for oil or the cost from increasing erratic weather patterns have created (ie, Katrina, the rapid dumping of Snow in NY, and the heatwaves in the US and Europe). In addition, the gas created at landfills can be converted by solar energy into usable hyrdogen and there are landfills all over the US. Google it youmay find it interesting.


  328. ReallyNOseriously?!! says:

    Additional sources for Hydrogen production that are inexpensive and can be implemented at their point of origin rather than incurring the cost of transportation: The byproduct of confectionary factories can easily beturned into hydrogen for the factories. The byproduct of waste treatment facilites can easily be turned into hydrogen to power those facilites. Excess from both of these processes can be sold for profit.


  329. stormkrow says:

    ReallyNOseriously?!!

    Most power companies build what they call a “Green Power” plant to supplement their power delivery. Green Power or renewable energy has been pretty much forced upon power utilities by, as they say: “tree hugging hippies” to help give themselves an outward appearance of being environmentally friendly. But the sad reality is most green energy doesn’t produce the billions of watts of power they need to power homes and the like. An example here in North Texas is that AEP or TXU both have 3600 MW coal burning plants but will supplement that with maybe only 6 MW total from green power (hydroelectric or methane gas skids). Typically most green power plants produce just a little more than what it takes to actually run the power plant itself. I design control an monitoring applications for power companies and oil and gas. TXU placed 2 Solar (brand name) turbine generators at the Arlington landfill that would run directly off of the vented methane gas. It’s absolutely a great idea in concept but the final output of both generators was just a little over 5 MW which in turn was sold right back to the landfill and neighboring water treatment facility and typically those particular generators only run at 30% capacity should they run at all. But the cost to profitability margins are very high and thus makes green energy not a good business model for them to follow. Coal for them is super cheap when compared with the output produced and for them green energy is expensive compared to what is gained. Unfortunately Green Energy is, more than anything, just a way for them to get good face time. Add to the fact that here in North Texas we’re in the middle of a very long drought which has dropped the lake levels down to the point where almost every single hydroelectric plant is currently completely shut down. Hence the need for the additional 19 coal plants. The drought, by the way, is caused by the odd weather patterns which have been directly attributed to global warming or dinosaur farts as Rep. Rohrabacher would have us believe.


  330. ReallyNOseriously?!! says:

    stormkrow- check my math on this but assuming in your original entry a 2500 sq ft house has about 750 sq ft of roof facing south (2 story house with gable roof). According to your $500 at $.14 calculation I beleive that is 3570 kwh per month. Houses as one of the largest emmiters of CO2 could beneifit from solar panels. New solar panels put off 315 wats per hour in peak sun in the Southern US. On a 750 sq ft that is 42 panels creating 13,230 watts. On peak days this power could be sold back to the grid. How to do this. Yes, the homes cost a bit more, but the savings more than make up for it. Some developments in California offer the “new basics” (i.e., granite countertops as optional in order to help defer the cost. I saw one of the staunch Repupublican “good ol’ boy” complain that his electric bill for the month was $8 as opposed to the month before when he made $3. For installation on older homes – like alternative fuel autombiles, tax incentives could be offered to defer the cost of installation and materials. This would certainly minimize the need for coal, especially in Texas. Forget the scientific abstracts of global warming this is something Americans can see helping their pocket book.

    Now, it seems it really does become a must that candidates for some political mandate have to pass a test about their mental health and their education before becoming nominated.

    One really can’t believe what kind of utter rubbish somebody like Rorhrabacher is farting around.
    He really should be send back to primary school ………. together with the majority of the actual government of the USA.


  332. Orange County Weekly - The Blotter » Rohrabacher’s Appalling Flatulence says:

    [...] video of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Surfin’) speculating about the effects of dinosaur flatulence here. And no, booze was not involved in the congressman’s ramblings. Probing the effects of dinosaur [...]


  333. Dinosaur Farts?! Really? « Reasic says:

    [...] thought Nico from Think Progress had a good explanation for Mr. Bedhead: Presumably, Rohrabacher was referencing a period known as the Paleocene-Eocene [...]

    Well I never! a Horse’s Ass talking about Dinasaur Flatulence…


  335. dave says:

    That report concluded that global warming is “unequivocal” and human activity is the main driver, “very likely” causing most of the rise in temperatures since 1950. : The assumtion is human activity is the main driver is scientifically proven as false. The polititian is more correct about his facts than anyone suggesting (and emotionally based at that) that this is not a natural cycle and man can fix it and caused it. What was the rainfall in areas that supported the Anaztazi people? What is the rainfall now and the future? Jump on the bandwagon, the world is gona end and it’s all everybodys fault.


  336. ronnie says:

    Yeah…yeah…yeah…you guys keep on crying about “man-made” global warming. I would bet that less than 1/2 of 1% of the people crying about warming do anything about it personally. Who among you walks everywhere they go? Who among you makes the decision not to use air transport? Who among you chooses to not use any product with a petroleum base. None, unless you just cannot afford it. Jump on the jet with Algore to fly all over the world crying about global warming that you assume someone else is causing. The major volcanic eruptions in my lifetime dwarf any change man has wrought in the past two millenniums.
    Ummm…this is the coldest winter I have seen in many years…oops.

    Ignorance is one thing stupidity is another. I think this guy shows how stupid he is by farting thru his mouth. Shame on you. You are a liability to the humen kind.


  338. Fight for your right to party (in 2107) at PunkAssBlog.com says:

    [...] Initially, we fretted about our newfound capacity for global nuclear war, but now we know that (dinosaur flatulence aside) we may bake ourselves off the planet before we can bomb ourselves off it. Or maybe [...]


  339. KLynn says:

    So let me get this straight:

    The Religio-Republi-Cons do not believe in evolution, but they do believe in dinosaur flatulance as a cause for global warming?

    Just when exactly were these theoretical dinosaurs supposed to have farted in the very limited time these right-wingnuts claim the earth has been in existance?


  340. staticbrain.com says:

    It is quite probable that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is suffering from dinosaur flatulence of the brain, which could be cured quickly by a good frontal lobotomy. What an idiot!


  341. this time ~ this space » Global Warming: A hoax or a reality? says:

    [...] climate change deniers and conspiracy theorists with her sword. She roared with laughter when Rep. Rohrabacher intimated to a Congressional Hearing that carbon emissions could have been produced by dinosaur [...]
