Cow poop emits climate-warming methane. Adding red algae may help - eviltoast

Adding a type of methane-inhibiting red algae directly to cow feces cut down methane emission from the poop by about 44 percent, researchers report.

    @Q67916tJ6Z0aWM I see you have some science-deniers giving you had hard time. Beef production is incredibly inefficient, doesn’t produce any new nutrients that didn’t go into the cow, and produces huge amounts of greenhouse gases. Whether the solution is red algae or lab-grown meat, I can’t say, but it’s going to get harder and harder to justify. Of course, the “but-my-burger!” snowflakes are going to have a melt down, but it’s coming.

      If you read more carefully, that comment is dripping with sarcastic conspiracy theory bullshit. They aren’t saying bring on the lab meat. They are saying the opposite.
