Methane gas is a greenhouse gas, meaning it causes heat to be trapped in the earth's atmosphere. This effect is known as the greenhouse effect and in an effort to battle and reduce emissions, scientist have created a climate-friendly cow. Genetics, diet and age have played a huge role so they are using selective breeding to control emissions along with other factors. It is about half the emission from this cow compared to normal cows.
Although I believe that this is a long term project and something that farmers would need to be encouraged to pursue, I believe every step taken towards controlling emissions of greenhouse gasses is very important.
