Scientists are trying to save the climate from toxic cow burps

 A 2013 report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated that 44 percent of the methane — a heat-trapping gas 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide — associated with human activity comes from the global livestock industry. Most of it is released through the animals' front ends.

from the Washington Post


There once was a gassy old cow
who burped up methane from her prow.
She caused such bad blood
because of her cud,
they chopped her into puppy chow.
