Cow belching produces more methane than cow farting.
Branwenjeffreys, bbc news, bradford. cows belch huge amounts of methane — which causes global warming — but the problem can be massively reduced with just a pinch of dried seaweed in their feed, as paul murphy reports. as they munch through their winter feed, these lincoln reds are blissfully unaware of the consequences. it is mainly when they burp that the planet gets more unwanted methane. a lot of people don't realise that methane is 85 times more harmful than c02, and a cow burps enough methane each year — equivalent to a car. methane levels in our atmosphere, seen here in red, are i...
Cows emit huge amounts of methane, which causes global warming — but the problem can be massively reduced with just a pinch of dried seaweed in their feed. paul murphy has been down on the farm in lincolnshire to find out more. as they munch through their winter feed, these lincoln reds are blissfully unaware of the consequences. it is mainly when they burp that the planet gets more unwanted methane. a lot of people don't realise that methane is 85 times more harmful than co2, and a cow burps enough methane each year — equivalent to a car. methane levels in our atmosphere, seen here in red...

Is pumped into the atmosphere the effects of that linger for hundreds of years. after a decade or two methane is gone is the scientist think if you can reduce methane levels significantly by 2030 that could take 0.2 degrees off of the rising global temperatures by 2050, so if we come back to the number we were talking about yesterday, the aim to limit the rising global temperatures to 1.5 degrees by the end of the century, if the reduction in methane can take 0.2 degrees off of the rise that is a pretty significant thing and it can be done quite quickly because methane stays in the atmosphere ...
