New Zealand scientists claim to have developed a "flatulence inoculation" aimed at cutting down on the massive amount of methane produced by its sheep and cows.
Such animals are believed to be responsible for more than half of the country's greenhouse gases, causing huge environmental problems.
But Phil Goff, New Zealand's trade minister, told an Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) in Paris yesterday that a solution was in sight.
"Our agricultural research organisation just last week was able to map the genome ... that causes methane in ruminant animals and we believe we can vaccinate against" flatulent emissions, Mr Goff said.

Pffffft ping...I’m ready to read about another of Waz’s “adventures”...
The four sides of the pyramid could be reflective; thus, reflecting harmful solar rays back into space—preventing Global Warming. Or, photo voltaic membranes could be placed on the pyramid—storing enough energy in a self-contained battery to operate the milking machine. Or, the space on the side of the pyramids could be sold for advertising space—or “green” messages. All designed to save our planet and to rescue drowning polar bears.

LOL. I just sent this to my very industrious nephew.
I told him now is the time for him to invent the same technology for humans, and how our family alone could heat an entire continent.
Bean farmer?
What about dinosaur farts 65 million+ years ago? Just one brontosauras would’ve blown off tree tops...
Global warming!
There is the Hagedorn patented soda CO2 capture device—the Capture-Recycle Air Piece 9c). It is used to capture belched and farted CO2. It is simply a nipple-shaped thingy that one belches into after having enjoyed a carbonated drink. After belching the bottle full, one simply removes the CRAP, screws the cap back on tightly, throws it in the trash to be buried intact in a landfill for hundreds of years. This device can be used for collection of CO2 flatus by the obvious method. If one plans to use CRAP orally and then rectally, please remember the suggested order: O then R.
I nominate my wife as the first to be used for human testing!
He was truly a man before his time. Cody and other Buffalo hunters recognized the threat that millions upon millions of Buffalo roaming the vast Wild West posed to the environment. Cody after killing one of the last remaining Buffalo said, "I can ride the Plains and breath methane free air now! I can see the mountains yonder and they are no longer purple majesties."
We have been known to consume large quantities of them.
My grandfather had the great distinction decades ago of being the “World’s Largest Supplier of Natural Gas.”
Seriously, grandpa’s kids went to Gatlinburg (a tourist town near here) and bought him one of those phoney newspapers with the 80 pt type headlines that stated that!!!! It was funny!!!
Just wait. They're going to adjust NISS database temperatures from the Jurassic, discover what the temperature should have been without the gases released by gigantic plant- (and bean-) eating monsters, and solve the age-old question. Dinosaurs were exterminated by global warming, which was triggered by eating beans without the added protection of Al Gore's scientific genius and the new improved Gas-X innoculation.
If he could do the old “pull my finger” routine, with such obvious control of his wellhead, he could have been tapped for industrial use! Think of the polar bears he could have saved!
Inmates running the asylum ...
The slippery slope of flatulence. They will have to pry the Taco Bell Chalupa from my cold dead hands..
This whole thing stinks!!

The Beano-Innoculaton works great, but the side effect is that the sheep’s urine is now 87-octane gasoline.
