It's cow farts!  Farts in general to be precise.  Those wiley New Zealanders have come up with a solution.  They are going to save the planet one a$$hole at a time.  I'm sure the tree hugging bunnymen will want laws passed so that every anus on the planet passes the green test and smells like petunias. ;D

Seems that science already has the answer.

Man, you gotta love the stuff that shows up on the bottom of the page...

Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique A notable feature was the large inter-sheep variability in daily methane emission (factor of 1.4 range) that could not be attributed to variable intake. This would appear to suggest an appreciable diversity of methanogenetic response to digestion, and may be significant in the search for strategies to control emissions of this greenhouse gas.

Royal Society of New Zealand The results support the view that young wether sheep have a lower methane yield than mature sheep and that methane yield is higher from pastures of poor feeding value.

Ingenta Individual sheep emission rates were highly variable... Emission rates were poorly correlated with animal live weight or dry matter intake but represented an average dietary energy loss of 3.6%.

gene research seemed a good idea with such variability

New Zealand Science Monthly ...methane is a by-product of cellulose break down, generated by the microbial community in the rumen. Methane emission represents an energy inefficiency in the digestive process, so reducing its production will benefit both nutritional efficiency and the environment -- a win-win situation.

He IM'ed me when he turned 44 and said.

"I noticed at this age my nuts are hanging lower"

I almost fell off the chair laughing....LOL  ;D

I don't know...?  Potential solution to the energy issue.

We should tap it.
