Earth warming solution

"Australia's methane emissions come primarily from 28 million cattle, 88 million sheep and a bunch of leaky coal mines. The livestock emissions, on their own, will cause significantly more warming in the next 20 years than all our coal-fired power stations."

This extract was taken from the Age dated10th July 2008.

I have added this, as a matter of interest, following the story about carbon footprint which I wrote some months ago.

How do we overcome this problem. Eat less meat. Reduce the number of sheep and cattle which number into the millions.
