There may, however, be a game-changing method to slow methane emissions. On Prince Edward Island in Canada, farmer Joe Dorgan’s unlikely discovery has the potential to change the world. Dorgan knew instinctively that seaweed would be healthy for cows, but research revealed an unintended consequence: seaweed made cows less gassy. Of that, livestock, such as cattle, account for about one-third of all methane emissions. “The way that it shifts the ruminant function in the cow also makes the animal more energy efficient,” Goldman said.
