Scientists have detected that feeding seaweed to cows is a viable method to reduce methane emissions responsible for causing global warming. A recent study published in Plos One shows that when researchers who put a small amount of seaweed into the feed of cattle over the course of five months found that the new diet caused the bovines to belch out 82 per cent less methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
