Scientists are developing an anti-biotic that will kill the bacteria in cows bowels that create methane (not carbon dioxide), which will significantly reduce their affect on global warming.

Urgh. Everywhere I look it’s overkill. How about we just cut down on the number of cattle we farm? I’m sure the cattle would be appreciative, too.
I don’t think there’s anything we can do to prevent global warming from ever happening, but we should try to reduce the anthropogenic factors contributing to it as much as possible. That will give people more time to consider what is to be done should there actually be a “Coming Global Superstorm” or just profound climate change.
The way I see it, there’s no point in trying to prevent a Mass Extinction. To do so is pure human sentimentality. But at the same time, it would be reckless to give up conservation of species and biomes that could teach us so much more about the world. It’s a tough call.
