Feeding cows pills to suppress their burps ‘can cut emissions’

Silly Emma Gatten is at it again!
Feeding cows pills to suppress their burps would be 60 times cheaper than other efforts to remove greenhouse gas emissions, new analysis has found.
The cost of pills that reduce methane from dairy cows could cut emissions by around 30 per cent would add half a penny to a pint of milk, and should be backed in new eco farming subsidies, Green Alliance said.
Agriculture accounts for around 10 per cent of the UK’s emissions, with the majority coming from methane from cow and sheep burps. Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, although it only persists in the atmosphere for 20 years.

No doubt of course Big Pharma would love to get its hands on manufacturing these pills.
Unsurprisingly the Telegraph has turned off the Comments Section, to sabe silly Emma more embarrassment!
