Ever drive past a dairy and have to hold you nose because of the smell? That one-of-a kind methane smell comes from the waste and flatulence of the cows. Yummy, I know, but an issue of environmental concern? I never really thought so until recently.

This seems to many a bit extreme and has some farmers laughing at the possibility, but in truth a large percentage of total emissions produced by Australia and New Zealand come from the farts of cows and sheep. Upwards of 14% in Australia and almost 50% in New Zealand, according to the Associated Press.
