Camel cull mulled to cut emissions

Kill a camel, earn cash for cutting greenhouse gases: That offer may be coming soon in Australia, where vast numbers of the nonnative methane-belching animals have been trampling the Outback for more than a century. The government has proposed that killing camels be registered as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Australia has the world's largest population of wild camels — an estimated 1.2 million — and considers them a growing environmental problem. Each camel belches about 45 kilograms of methane a year, one-sixth as much as an average U.S. car. (AP)
