No answer to cow gas
The Australian Government is currently considering its response to a report into the impact of climate change which recommends emissions trading.
It’s a very complex discussion, but as I understand it companies and organisations that produce “bad gas” will be taxed while the production of “good gas” will be rewarded.
We managed to localise the debate for tomorrow’s Border Watch by obtaining comments from a local manufacturer, farmers, councils and timber workers.
Although an important subject which needs to be reported, it’s rather dry and somewhat confusing.
I thought about adding some light relief by exploring the issue of cows farting.
I read somewhere that cows produce methane gas, one of the nasties, up to five percent of all global warming gas out there (if you believe what you read on the web).
There are various plans to neutralise the problem, and according to our farm spokesman, CSIRO scientists are currently applying themselves to the task. According to this they started in 1998, so it’s a long process.
