Via Kimberly Chapman. Methane from cattle is about 20% of global greenhouse gases, and this isn’t the first (but may, it sounds like, be the best) piece of research to help reduce or even eliminate it.
If the cattle are releasing less methane, they’re probably also experiencing better digestion, I suspect, so there could be incentives for farmers who don’t care about or believe in global warming to participate.

Nice discovery, Canada!
How would the harvesting or growing of seaweed affect the ocean’s ability to regulate the world climate? Are we sure that the cows aren’t now producing some even more deadly gas? What if they start farting R-22?
More study is needed.
