In a surreal moment of television, Tucker Carlson asked a Tennessee farmer to fit one of her cows with what was supposed to be a methane-catching face mask.
"So what you're saying is that cows have more self-respect than most people in mid-town Manhattan on lunch break," Carlson commented, gaining a chuckle from Nash., where it has been viewed more than 66,000 times. The comments of baffled users range from those wondering if the story of face mask for cows is made up to those accusing the controversial Fox News host of"getting to the bottom of these conspiracies... Rock bottom.
But the technology for reducing cows' methane emissions is real, though it's unclear if the device tested by the Tennessee farmer was the correct one. The dairy and meat industry accounts for 1.6 billion cattle around the world. This massive number of livestock burp out methane—one of the most potent greenhouse gases on the planet—which contributes hugely to global warming and accelerates climate change.

A methane-catching face mask for cows—a recent technology aimed at reducing the impact of the dairy and meat industry on global warming—was ridiculed by Carlson during his show on Wednesday.A single dairy cow is estimated to produce up to 130 gallons of methane per day, with burps accounting for 95 percent of their methane emissions.
To address the issue, U.K.-based company Zelp has created a wearable device—much like a face mask—for cows that transforms methane emissions into CO2 and water.
