Can cats be fitted to cows ?!

Saw on the BBC News tonight that scientists have drawn attention to the fact that a typical cow produces more greenhouse "gases" than a large car.
You can guess how !

So does this mean that HM Govt will be telling us all to become lettuce eaters to save the environment ?!

"If we can reduce the "use" of cows by 50% by 2020 there will be a resultant reduction in greenhouse gases".

Umm, I can see VAT or some other green tax being applied heavily on dairy products and beef in the not too distant future!

Serious? Well all those fires raging in southern Europe, States, Indonesia and other lovely places seem to makeup a much larger part of the problem than cows farting!

In fact, are we goin to start paying taxes for forest fires in Europe?????
