AUSTRALIAN scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, researchers say.
Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence contains no methane and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who emit large quantities of the harmful gas.

Even farmers who laugh at the idea of environmentally friendly kangaroo farts say that's nothing to joke about, particularly given the devastating drought Australia is suffering.

Well said.
THANKS THANKS.
GOD’S BEST TO YOU AND YOURS THIS CHRISTmas.
I see many signs of the domination of Satan these days. Its strength grows stronger as our country and Israel become weaker and less resolute. Treason and betrayal and fraud are all around us, and all of our cherished beliefs are under attack by the evil one. May God preserve us, and may the Lord Jesus return soon.
Thanks for your kind words and blessing this CHRISTmas season.

FReepmail me or leave a message at writing.com and I will be happy to send any or all of them to you.
THANKS ENORMOUSLY FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. Am but a struggling pilgrim.
And for your offer of your novels.
It is conceivable I may take you up on such in the future.
Currently, am full up with books waiting in the bedside and chairside lines.
Most of my reading tends to be nonfiction but I occasionally choose a nove. Any scifi in your novels?
Blessings,
Couldn’t they just collect the methane gas from the cow farts, and then use them as a safe, clean-burning fuel? All it takes is a balloon, some duct tape, and a little imagination.
