California Bans Cow Farts To Combat Global Warming
Farmers in California have been ordered to stop their cows from farting, or face paying an unspecified fine by State regulators. In an attempt to reduce methane emissions by 40 per cent in order to tackle global warming, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a new law regulating the amount of methane ‘allowed’ to be released from cows. According to scientists, gasses produced by cow farts are a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
