More GAS and BS from the White House! Scientists seek climate-friendly cow of the future

Cow of the Future?

That smell is coming from the direction of this Administration. It is trying to con the people into paying more taxes, fees and giving in to more regulation by scaring US with gas. It is really their gas. If any science reporter knew enough about interglacial periods, they would realize that past warm periods were followed by higher levels greenhouse gases, not preceded by them. 

It is all Bull! m/r

A White House climate initiative has boosted a quixotic search for the “cow of the future”, a next-generation creature whose greenhouse gas emissions would be cut by anti-methane pills, burp scanners and gas backpacks.

Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is the primary man-made gas warming the planet, but methane is far more potent and the US’s biggest source of it is its 88m cattle, which produce more than landfill sites, natural gas leaks or hydraulic fracturing.

The Obama administration’s launch last month of a plan to curb methane emissions has given fresh relevance to climate-friendly technologies for cattle that range from dietary supplements and DNA gut tests to strap-on gas tanks.
