Methane Mammals

Posted by Laird on Jun 7, 2008

Are we being slowly poisoned by Burping farting farm animals??

One of the biggest causes of climate change is flatulence in farm animals. Cattle, sheep and pigs pump out 35% of the worlds emissions of Methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide. But hope came from New Zealand this week after it said it wants to vaccinate these animals against producing so much methane. I bet there are a few wives who would like to get their hands on that vaccine, too :-}
