Here's the funniest pic you'll see all day: 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. 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. The Argentine researchers discovered methane from cows accounts for more than 30 per cent of the country's total greenhouse emissions. Cow farts collected in plastic tank for global warming study - Telegraph Now if they could convert that into a fuel source, we'd be getting somewhere!
Hm, personally I don't find that funny.. hopefully it's not a real game! I really admired Steve and his conservation efforts.
I'm a fellow Aussie and I have to agree that I didn't really find the Steve Irwin pic funny! The whole nation mourned when Steve passed away and it was a REALLY big deal Down Under! He is a Legend and will be sadly missed! Regards, Dave.
Put a propane lantern hooked to the gas bag on top of every cow in the field, that would be a neat sight after dark.
When the entire world is worried about the global warming through industrialization, the dairy cattle part is the least studied one. Hope the study will throw more light on the issue
So what happens when no1 is paying attention and the bag blows from getting to full. No that would be a funny site, Exploding cows .
Enough Global Warming please, soon, it's just another story like SARS and Bird-flu, let's focus on the topic or helping poor children in Africa who die everyday of AIDS and Malaria.
