I doubt we need to prevent cows from farting. As I understand it, all we need to do is stop killing naturally occurring methanotrophic[1] fungi[2] with pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Also, feed cows seaweed to eliminate methane emissions: https://researchonline.jcu.edu.au/43225/

Or have fewer cows in the first place by eating less meat.

And we could reduce foul gas emissions by eating cryptocurrency shills.

The two approaches are completely separate. There's no reason to do just one or the other.

It's not the fart, it's the burp!

It's not the crime, it's the coverup!
