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 :-}

I bet there are a few wives who would like to get their hands on that vaccine, too :-}
