This good idea may cause the price of beef to go up ... and it may cause people to get cancer ... but it's worth it to save the planet!

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.

The eco-kooks are, well kooks.
Another RINO day dream....started with Al Gore because his wife divorced him and he had nothing better to do....and still doesn’t....
More cow pies in the name of “science”.
Was it tested on Moo - Shel?
F*rt or die.
I never met a thane I didn’t like
The real question is whose business makes the supplement and how much did they ‘pay’ for this study. That’s the question.
Going to the BS source.
That assumes that there is really a “climate change” problem. We used to call it weather.
Isis is cutting off the heads of Yazidis, Jews, Christians, Sunni Muslims, and anyone who crosses their path.
Our national debt is around 18 trillion dollars.
Planned Parenthood is selling baby parts from aborted babies.
Hillary is knee deep in lies and millions of dollars in her foundation & Bill is still ogling other women.
And these clowns are worried about changing food of cows because of their flatulence???????
I think the cow flatulence proposal started in my Organic Chemistry text from the 1960’s. It was printed in the text as a joke. The Author was Morrison and the test Organic Chemistry if I remember correctly.
This is a good beginning. Now if we could find a way to make envirowacko, commie libs less flatulent we could finally do something about “global warming.”
Russ Feingold, of McCain-Feingold was a huge advocate of cow flatulence.
Nice one!! That cow should be careful not to experience that “pop” that usually occurs at the source of gas flame when the supply is exhausted.
Leave it to "the government" to waste resources on relatively small and manageable problems while huge problems remain unaddressed.
97% of climate scientists have affirmed that the most pressing global need is to control Michael Moore's flatulence.
So, where is the Obama administration's plan for a multi-pronged attack on Michael Moore's emissions? Cap and trade, anybody? But no, Obama's EPA is nowhere to be seen on this pressing issue. Once again, Obama's priorities are all screwed up...
but, but, but .....I thought it was ALL MAN MADE
IIRC, the methane from cows is a tiny fraction of the methane produced by termites—not to mention all other mammals and bugs.
Beano for cows.
How much greenhouse gas does it take to make and deliver this wonder drug and who gets all that money?
