The more out of touch with reality you are.

Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates is behind an organization seeking to vaccinate cows with the aim of preventing so-called climate change.

Gates invested in Rumin8, an Australian climate technology company exploring dietary supplements for cows that will similarly stop them from farting. Gates is also the leader of an investment fund behind ArkeaBio, a Boston pharmaceutical company that is seeking to develop a livestock vaccine that will help reduce global vaccine emissions.

No report yet if either product will be made available for humans.

I sure hope not-farting is one of the few pleasures I have left.
 
Bill Gates, who I think is currently the richest man in the world, is also a great philanthropist who has done much to aid the health and well being of millions.

He funds all sorts of initiatives all over the place. While few are as amusing as cow fart control, I believe he is really trying hard, and on the whole successfully, to use his wealth to create a better world for all of us.

I'm mighty suspicious of anyone buying prime, productive farmland by the tens of thousands acres at a pop. Are we all sure that his idea of a "better world" contains "unfettered individual freedom?" Joe

Pardon my skepticism, but I think it is about control. These billionaires want to control everything and everyone. It is how they get more. They could give a rats behind about the common man. Gates is building a 5000 sqft bunker in Hawaii. As are all the billionaires. Gate, Bezo, Soros, and the rest of them just want control. They tell the government what to do.

I'm also might suspicious of ultra super rich people making big expensive moves. I beleive there is a lot more going on than what occasionally hits the media. Our rich lords think they know what best for the common folk and have the resources to accomplish their goal:eek:-:mad:

First of all richest persons are currently Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Gates is around #7.

Secondly,you can't believe much of what is posted on Wiki. Bill's ex-wife is leaving her position at the Foundation. Apparently she's of the same opinion as we are.

Finally...There is only one Being that made us in his image and it isn't Bill Gates or even Al Gore!
 
Gates has four jets worth an estimated $400 million. None of them run on pixie dust or sunshine.

Here's one of them...

It's not farts!

Hate to belabor the point as it is popular, off-color, and gross, all things men generally like - but bovine methane does NOT come from cow farts.

The vast majority of it is belched through the mouth from the rumen chamber, the first of the multi-chambered stomachs of cattle. A secondary source is manure after it is eliminated.

There are already CRISPR technology responses in field trials and in line for regulatory approval. Most of them are plant-based solutions to breed fodder (plant-based animal food) that releases less methane upon digestion. Hard to absolutely eliminate methane from plant digestion processes but it can, apparently, be reduced significantly from cow belch emission.

I know, it's more fun to refer to farting, but it's not so. Just sayin'.

Right you are about world's richest man.. I was conflating Gates' personal wealth ranking with Microsoft regaining the top market cap position from Apple earlier this year.
