[Yet another insane climate hoax article from your mainstream media]: Trying to Stop Cattle Burps From Heating Up Planet - NYTimes.com
GATTON, Australia — To hear Athol Klieve tell it, a key to reducing Australia’s enormous carbon emissions is to make a cow more like this country’s iconic animal — the kangaroo.
...
...on a tour of the new $28 million Center for Advanced Animal Science here, Mr. Klieve grew animated when he talked of leading a team of microbiologists and genetic researchers to make cattle guts behave like kangaroos’.
...
Now the industry is fighting back. Along with the government, it is financing a $24 million campaign to reduce burping. Researchers are looking at measures like adjusting diet, managing manure, recalibrating stomach organisms and selectively breeding animals that burp less.
...
Not everyone supports the research. Some conservationists question trying to make a cow act like another animal.
“This sounds surprising to me, that should be the primary focus when there is already an animal that does this,” said George Wilson, the leader of Australian Wildlife Services, a wildlife management company.
Instead, Mr. Wilson has been urging Australians to eat kangaroos.
...
“It’s going to be very difficult to meet the current production needs, particularly for the current global population, with kangaroo,” Ms. Henry said. “You need something like 10 kangaroos to produce the same amount of meat as one steer. You can’t herd them or fence them in.”
