Methane comes out of the front of the cow as well - it's generated by the bacteria in the digestive system that converts cellulose to sugars.
The number one, two, and three thing we can do to reduce the CO2 problem is to transition to carbon-free energy for buildings and vehicles, and to reduce our use of beef.
The best sequestration on the planet is all the green, growing things - and the most they can draw down each year is about 5ppm. Human sequestration efforts pale by comparison to trees and grass.

Great idea, only isn't it methane that comes out the back end of a cow?
I'd like for us to find a more environmentally way of reducing this CO2 problem.
