I seem to recall a newspaper article a few years back, that was talking
about how all the grazing cattle
in the farmlands of the US and Europe could be a significant factor in the
greenhouse effect from methane flatulence.
I laughed it off then, but if this new, very well researched study by the
Chinese says the dinosaurs killed
themselves that way, then maybe we should go kill all the cattle, and save
our planet!!!
