Earlier this year, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Congresswoman and agricultural expert from the Bronx sounded a hysteric climate alarm over cow farts. She said we can’t continue to eat hamburgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
I have never in my life met anyone who eats hamburgers for every meal, every day, so I really don’t know who she’s talking about. But, what do I know? Maybe that’s what they do in the Bronx. Anyhow, I am happy to know that human ingenuity has come to the rescue and we can still eat meat.
This morning while listening to NPR I learned that there are over 1.5 billion cows in the world. Through no fault of their own, gassy bovines emit more methane than the greenhouse gasses from every plane, train, and automobile on Earth.
Well it turns out that down in Australia they’ve been messing around with feeding cows some kind of seaweed. Apparently, supplementing cow feed with one percent seaweed, can wipe out 95 percent of the methane in their flatulence.
I have no idea if the seemingly tranquil cows of the world have been more self conscious about their “dairy-air” since AOC called them out. Maybe the Aussies can find some seaweed supplements for that.
