Complete Headline: Supplement that makes cows less flatulent could help fight climate change: Drug cuts methane gas by 30 per cent, say scientists
Cows have a huge flatulence problem that is damaging the planet.
They produce methane - a greenhouse gas which is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere
Last year, the Obama administration said that it would make a multi-pronged attack on cow flatulence in an attempt to cut emissions.
Now, one group of scientists believes it has come up with a solution; adding a special supplement to cows' feed to cut down on their methane production by 30 per cent.

When everything anyone does to produce food, enable travel, keep humans warm, or advance modern society in any way, is forbidden by these nitwitwits, and we all starve and freeze to death, will they declare the smoke from the burning bodies to be a pollutant and try to regulate that out of existence too?
We’ve evolved, they say, for millions of years. Cows have been farting the whole time. Seems like the Environmentalists are the ones trying to send us back to the Stone Age. Buncha dang fool city twerps.

Last year, the Obama administration said that it would make a multi-pronged attack on cow flatulence in an attempt to cut emissions. All cow flatulence has to do is convince Bammy that it's somehow connected to Islam, and it won't have to worry about any "multi-pronged attacks".

Cows don’t have much fun as things are, now they want to take more away from them.

“The real question is whose business makes the supplement and how much did they ‘pay’ for this study.”
BINGO! People who believe that global warming is caused by cow flatulence should tell that to a rancher. Seriously - drive out to a cattle farm, interrupt the rancher, and tell him that his cows are ruining the planet. Then RUN! -fast.

This is so ridiculous. Like God didn’t know how to create cows where they wouldn’t wreck the earth!
