Scientists search for flock with less fart

.Australian researchers have begun looking at how to breed sheep that produce less methane gas.
The CRC for Sheep Industry Innovation says the average sheep produces 20 litres of methane gas per day and with almost 90 million sheep in the national flock, it says there is significant pressure to reduce gas production in light of the climate change debate.
CRC professor James Rowe says one element is to look at the genetic variation of animals.
Now researchers are working to unlock the science behind how sheep produce the greenhouse gas. .
He says this may help breeders select sheep that produce less gas.
“The last thing we want to do is to be selecting for sheep that produce very little methane but they don’t grow, they don’t produce the wool that we need,” he said.
Professor Rowe says researches will try and select sheep that produce less methane gas, while still producing quality wool.”
The first results are expected by the end of the year.
“So having this resource where we can understand the full genetic implications of selecting and working with more efficient sheep is the real breakthrough we’re talking about.

A Climate Change Consensus

In the 1750s in Britain there was what is called the little Ice age when in winter the Thames would freeze over and ice fairs would be held on the frozen river. This coincided with a period when there was little to no sunspots, ..

Christopher Monkton on Global Warming: A Convenient Truth

The Little Ice Age and Medevil Warm Period are now back in the lexicon. Mann to this day refuses to recognize either – he shrugs them off as nothing more than weak teleconnections.

Officials should look deeper at climate change

It certainly does not follow logically that CO2 emissions drive a warming trend that began prior to widespread fossil fuel use and that has yet to reach the magnitude of the medieval warm period when Vikings colonized Greenland. …
