Okay, enough, shut your mouth—that’s not a picture of a cow about to go trekking, but of something even more astonishing—a cow with a plastic tank attached to its back that is intended to capture the methane it farts. The Telegraph<\/i> reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Experts said the slow digestive system of cows makes them a key producer of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that gets far less public attention than carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

In a bid to understand the impact of the wind produced by cows on global warming, scientists collected gas from their stomachs in plastic tanks attached to their backs.<\/p>\n

The Argentine researchers discovered methane from cows accounts for more than 30 per cent of the country’s total greenhouse emissions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
