Summary:

  1. Methane Challenge
    Cows contribute significantly to global warming, with their digestive process and manure producing large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The Innovative Genomics Institute and UC Davis have launched a $30 million project to engineer cows’ gut microbes to eliminate methane emissions.

  2. Genetic Solution
    Researchers aim to use genetic engineering to modify the cow’s microbiome, potentially creating a probiotic pill to permanently reduce methane production. This could address a major source of human-made methane and significantly impact climate change.

  3. Future Prospects
    Initial treatments involve feeding cows red-seaweed oil and developing gene-editing tools for microbial changes. The project hopes to have trial treatments ready in the next two years, with funding secured for seven years of research.

there is not problem with natural weather , problem is the weather engineered to keep humanity in fear , we dont need modify anything more than wiped the politicians and the elite out of this place , by uniting and elevating our consciousness
