Cows absolved of causing global warming with nitrous oxide
In the past environmentalists, from Lord Stern to Sir Paul McCartney, have urged people to stop eating meat because the methane produced by cattle causes global warming. However a new study found that cattle grazed on the grasslands of China actually reduce another greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide.
The research will reignite the argument over whether to eat red meat after other studies suggested that grass fed cattle in the UK and US can also be good for the environment as long as the animals are free range.
See it all here.
Now, since its Friday - lets fire up the grill!

PS. The SkunK used a simular picture in a blog over a year ago. Notice the ear tag on the cow in both pictures - "503". Either that poor beast has been wearing that embarrassing outfit for over a year - or the media recycles pictures from previous stories. You can see the strange fence in the background is the same in both pictures as well. You only get that kind of detail here! lol.
