"Methane gas makes up 11 percent of America's greenhouse gas emissions, although its up to 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. As we've reported before, around twenty percent of our methane emissions comes from ruminants, like cows, belching, farting and pooping."

"Cows, of which there are some 1.5 billion on the planet, are greenhouse-gas machines. Cows digest their food with the help of stomach bacteria in a process known as enteric fermentation. A side effect of this is the production of methane, a gas some 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat and exacerbating global warming."
