Udderly ridiculous! Scientists are fitting cows with methane-detecting harnesses to measure the potent greenhouse gas in their flatulence
- Ongoing study at the University of Kiel in Germany measures methane emissions
- The harnesses are laden with sensors to track how much of the gas they make
- Designed to track the efficiency of a new herb-based diet to reduce CH4
- Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, trapping 30 times more heat than the same amount of carbon dioxide
