Also a shame that cow farts emit a lot of methane.

They surpsingly release most methane through burping, not farting. Even more surprising is that they burp so much methane that it is measurable from space

Thats crazy. We need cow filters on all the holes.

The solution to bovine methane emissions is to install a cowalitic converter inside their mufflers. Just like we do with quad udder milk exhaust collectors.

On a serious note i read a while back that they are looking into a type of gut bacteria to give to cows which will significantly reduce the methane produced by the cows digestive system.
