A puffy pink seaweed that can stop cows from burping out methane is being primed for mass farming by Australian researchers.

The particular seaweed species, called Asparagopsis, grows prolifically off the Queensland Coast, and was the only seaweed found to have the effect in a study five years ago led by CSIRO. Even a small amount of the seaweed in a cow’s diet was shown to reduce the animal’s gases by 99%.

Associate Professor Nick Paul, who is the leader of the Seaweed Research Group at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), said that if Australia could grow enough of the seaweed for every cow in the nation, the country could cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 10%.

The USC team is working at the Bribie Island Research Centre in Moreton Bay to learn more about how to grow the seaweed species, with the goal of informing a scale-up of production that could supplement cow feed on a national—and even global scale.

“This seaweed has caused a lot of global interest and people around the world are working to make sure the cows are healthy, the beef and the milk are good quality,” Dr. Paul said.

“That’s all happening right now. But the one missing step, the big thing that is going to make sure this works at a global scale, is to make sure we can produce the seaweed sustainably.

“If we’re able to work out how to scale up the seaweed to such a level to that can feed all of the cows and the sheep and the goats around the world, then it’s going to have a huge impact on the climate; it’s going to address a whole lot of carbon-neutral agendas that different countries have; and it’s ultimately going to save us all billions of dollars,” he concluded.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is getting rid of an enforcement tool used when industries and states violate environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act, arguing the tool used frequently under the Obama administration, was going “beyond what is required under federal, state, or local laws.”

Future humans will look at that incident with great regret that his assassin wasn't successful. This guy is literally killing one of the last line of defenses against global warming.

The Amazon is literally on fire brehs...:mjcry:

All jokes aside, these devils should be gettin killed. fukk all this protest shyt, money and power only listens to money and power. If a guerilla movement sprung from this and all these a$$holes died gruesome deaths they’d be world heroes. Plus the added costs of security would make their efforts more costly and problematic. Between that and a global divestment in Brazilian products tied to Amazon destruction I think that would help end this madness.
