A recent UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change press
release said that methane from cattle releases 18% of total greenhouse
gases, significantly more than automobiles and other mobile transport
worldwide.
The most effective way to reduce methane emmissions from cattle, a way
to get reductions of up to 75%, is to add molasses to the cattle feed.
See the evidence below if you want to. I know, I worked on cattle-molasses projects in
India that were paid for with CO2 trade credits.
When is Al Gore going to make a movie about the inconvenient truth that more cattle need to be fed molasses?

"Methane emissions per unit product may be reduced by 25 to 75 percent due to substantial increases in animal production efficiency, depending on animal management practices. In particular, applying molasses/urea multinutrient blocks (MNBs) and bypass protein techniques in tropical areas with chronic feed constraints can produce emissions reductions per unit product near the high end of the range."
