Company produces methane-capturing face mask for cows

Device is meant to help with global warming.

A sustainable agriculture company has manufactured a device they say will help curb global warming by neutralizing methane exhaled by cows.

Zelp, a company based in London, says that its device can help contribute to a "strong reduction in the global warming potential of methane."

The mask, which is strapped to the snouts of cows, "neutralises methane exhaled in real time," the company claims.

The device also has digital monitoring technologies such as geolocation and emission monitoring capabilities.

Activists have warned that cows are significant contributors to global warming due to their regular emission of methane, including in the form of burps. Methane from cattle "contribute[s] nearly 10% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide when measured over 20 years," Zelp argues.

We live in an idiocracy. I think that inbreeding has finally done in the leading families of the West and they are suffering from a mass hysteria. Apparently the ‘Great Reset’ will be the Second American Revolution.

When WWIII comes, and it WILL come, my only hope is that the idiots who elevate AGW, non-genderism, BLM, Antifa, and the rest of vapid leftist nonsense to the top of the public discourse are some of the first to be purged.

Aren’t we supposed to tag these kind of posts as satire?

The party has a plan for that. They will soon capture the cow farts with a but mask, and route the farts right back around to the cows nose for re-breathing. The SEALS already have it for bubble free scuba.

No lie.
