Cadbury to curb methane emissions from burping dairy cows

on Fri 27 Feb 2009 01:36 PM GMT
Mootral - Studies show that the production of one litre of milk produces the equivalent of 900g of CO2. More than half of this is down to methane. The average cow emits between 80kg and 120kg of methane a year, equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from an average family car. ,a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/feb/17/cadbury-dairy-milk-cows>via The Guardian>>

Livestock Industry Creates More Gas than Transportation

 mootral (www.mootral.com) - Ask most Americans about what causes global warming, and they’ll point to a coal plant smokestack or a car’s tailpipe. They’re right, of course, but perhaps two other images should be granted similarly iconic status: the front and rear ends of a cow. According to a little-known 2006 United Nations report entitled “Livestock’s Long Shadow,” livestock is a major player in climate change, accounting for 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions (measured in carbon dioxide equivalents). That’s more than the entire transportation system! Unfortunately, this incredibly important revelation has received only limited attention in the media.

Australia not including livestock emissions in trading scheme
by
mootral
on Tue 05 Aug 2008 11:27 AM BST
Mootral™ (mootral.com) - Australia's government has decided not to include the agricultural sector in a future national emissions cap-and-trade scheme. As such "The Government does not consider that it is practical at this stage to include agriculture emissions in the trading scheme at commencement." This is despite the fact that agriculture emits 16% of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions.
