The solution looks promising. Bill Gates wants to 'fix the cows' so they stop burping, farting methane into the air — here's the startup he backed to help fight climate change.
If only we could get cows to burp and fart less, we may be able to clean up some air pollution. That’s the theory behind an Australian climate tech company, Rumin8, now backed by Bill Gates ...
Bovine emissions emit methane and cause acid rain. But cutting back on your meat and dairy consumption — and especially going vegan — can make a positive impact. Here's how.
Poop is an inevitable byproduct of the cattle industry and, like cow burps and farts, it emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas that scientists point to as a major driver of climate change.
Enteric fermentation was the second largest anthropogenic source of methane emissions in the United States from 2000 through 2009. [7] In 2007, methane emissions from enteric fermentation were 2.3% of net greenhouse gases produced in the United States at 139 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalents (Tg CO 2) out of a total net emission of 6087.5 Tg CO 2.

In China, daily milk production per cow is already lower than the average by between 0.7 and 4 kg (1.5 and 8.8 lb) in July (the hottest month of the year), and by 2070, it may decline by up to 50% (or 7.2 kg (16 lb)) due to climate change. [56]
In Unearthed, Gen Z climate-change activists discuss some of the most pressing issues facing our planet — and reveal what you can do to help make a real difference.
Cows, sheep and other ruminants digest their food by enteric fermentation, and their burps are the main methane emissions from land use, land-use change, and forestry: together with methane and nitrous oxide from manure, this makes livestock the main source of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
