The BBC channels The Onion.
More concern by governments on how to address a faux problem using real money. This time, Australia is studying ways to make sheep burp less.
From Australian aims to breed ‘green’ sheep that burp less :
Australian scientists have said they are hoping to breed sheep that burp less as part of efforts to tackle climate change.
The scientists have been trying to identify a genetic link that causes some sheep to belch less than others. Burping is a far greater cause of emissions in sheep than flatulence, they say.
The report goes on to mention that Australia has a “Department of Climate Change” and that its concern is that agriculture contribute 16% of Australia’s greenhouse gases.
