Genetically engineered cows could slow global warming

Cow farts and burps are responsible for 40% of global methane emissions attributable to human activity. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas, and traps more heat inside the Earth's atmosphere than CO2.
Agricultural scientists in Britain have found genes that make cows less prone to farting and burping, raising hope that widescale genetic modification of cows could combat global warming.
