Methane mammals

Scientists collect cow farts in global warming study.

This cow knows that talk about global warming isn’t all hot air as its farts are collected in a tank strapped to its back.

Scientists want to know how much of a belch is methane - 23 times worse for the planet than carbon dioxide.Guillermo Berra, part of the Argentine research team, said: “When we got the results we were surprised. Thirty per cent of Argentina’s emissions could be from cows.”One can produce 1,000 litres of emissions daily. Poooohy :-}
