Disclaimer: I believe global warming could be happening because I believe human activity is having a deleterious effect on climate. I am also not debating studies that methane is 23 times more "warming" than carbon dioxide or that cows produce more "warming" than cars....but I find it amusing to believe people seriously discussing cow farts/burps instead of focusing on those CO2 belching cars, coal plants, cement & concrete manufacturing, and other sources of greenhouse gases (see US emissions data) - just leave them cows alone now, will you? ;)
Note: There is even a patent to "trap" cow farts and turn it into an advantage. This inventor, Marcus, patents a method to in effect fight global warming by using cow farts to create energy!! The plan is to use the collected methane "as a source of carbon and/or energy for the production of methane-utilizing microorganisms in a microorganism growth-and-harvest apparatus."
Even a guy with tree-hugger inclinations like me has to roll his eyes seeing such inanities!

BE FOREWARNED... do NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU ARE EATING FOOD or easily grossed out :)
Another bovine patent I just found that sent a shudder down my spine! Actually, someone's gotta research such things, I suppose. Just glad it isn't me :)
