I was digging back through my blogfodder clippings and discovered a story from early December which I had saved as Cow Farts Threaten Humanity. The original article, from the Independent website, was more sedately entitled Cow ’emissions’ more damaging to planet than CO₂ from cars but it was interesting reading all the same.

Out in my garden, a lot of things have been showing signs of life earlier than expected. For example, I am regularly having to monitor the dogwood for budding, at which point needs to be cut down to a stump so that I have fresh red branches showing next winter (and to keep it down to size) – if I just leave it until mid-March as I normally do, I may find it has grown too far by then.

Global warming? Cow, erm, emissions? I think I will have to savour the roast beef I eat and not choose it too often; perhaps the same is also true of dairy products! Beef is something I don’t eat that often but milk… hmmnnn, that might be more challenging.
