How many cow?

How many cow?
How many cow farting can top this? 
And where is Al Gore and his crew? 
Years ago, we did not have a refrigerator. We had a ice box, and we had to buy blocks of ice (50 or 100 pounds) We covered the ice with a burlap feed sack to keep it from melting on the way home.

'Fountains' of methane 1,000m across erupt from Arctic ice - a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide

They made a terrifying discovery - huge plumes of methane bubbles rising to the surface from the seabed. 'We found more than 100 fountains, some more than a kilometre across,' said Dr Igor Semiletov, 'These are methane fields on a scale not seen before. The emissions went directly into the atmosphere.'
