FERAL HOGS ARE CONTRIBUTING HUGELY TO CLIMATE CHANGE, EXPERTS SAY

All memes aside, feral hogs around the world are causing a huge problem for the environment, and experts aren’t sure what to do about it.

Animals, tools, or anything else rooting through soil tends to release sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. That’s a natural part of the carbon cycle, but feral hogs are releasing boatloads of greenhouse gases as they invade and rampage through new areas, Wired reports.

All in all, models suggest that invasive feral hogs around the world are releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year than 1 million cars, according to research published Monday in the journal Global Change Biology. And contrary to the meme, unrelated scientists learned a few years ago that assault rifles won’t solve the problem.

  1. So a farmer plowing his field to plant food for us is a thousand times worse? And burning all that fossil fuel to do so on top of that! Give me a break and just admit to whatever you’re really trying to say.

  2. There are a lot of feral people we need to get rid of too. They are ruining our country………….worse than climate change.

  3. Everyone of those Feral Hogs is a registered Democrat voter, this is why the Dems are fighting voting laws, they will register anyone or anything for a vote!
