India's Contribution To Global Warming - Cows With Gas

This is a serious piece that is utterly (udderly?) hilarious. The cows and other livestock in India actually contributes more greenhouse gasses than motor vehicles in that country.

By burping, belching and excreting copious amounts of methane - a greenhouse gas that traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide - India's livestock of roughly 485 million (including sheep and goats) contribute more to global warming than the vehicles they obstruct. With new research suggesting that emission of methane by Indian livestock is higher than previously estimated, scientists are furiously working at designing diets to help bovines and other ruminants eat better, stay more energetic and secrete lesser amounts of the offensive gas.

Gee, I wonder if they could invent a hybrid cow..... ?
