Cows primarily release methane through belching and flatulence, contributing to global warming. Researchers at the UK’s Pirbright Institute are developing a vaccine to reduce these emissions, supported by a $9.4 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund. The goal is to create a single-dose vaccine administered early in a cow’s…

Under current nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, global warming is projected to reach 2.7°C above preindustrial levels. In this review, we show that at such a level of warming, the Arctic would be transformed ...Read More
