Back in 2006, a scientific report from the United Nation's Food and Agricultural Organization claimed that methane from cow farts contributed to Global Warming.
Methane is a "greenhouse gas" and the Earth supports about 1.5 billion cattle, but I chuckled and called B.S. I just didn't think it could possibly be enough to matter.
Then last Monday, a huge explosion at a dairy farm in the Texas Panhandle killed 18,000 cows. Investigators have determined that a spark from equipment in the milking barn set off methane being generated by the cows waiting to be milked.
