Are cow farts and burps really a major cause of global warming? In this episode of Science Punx, we explore the science behind methane emissions from livestock, why they matter, and what can be done to tackle this smelly problem. We discuss innovative solutions like seaweed feed additives, lab-grown meat, and plant-based alternatives, as well as the role of consumers, farmers, and policymakers in creating a sustainable future. Tune in to learn how small changes can make a big difference for the planet. 🌍🐄💨
