Who would have thought that camels were contributing to Australia's pollution! Yes, according to a study, each example of camel emits methane discharges equal to one ton of carbon dioxide per year, or a quarter of the emissions produced by a car traveling 20 kilometers per year.

Who would have thought that contributing to the pollution ofAustralia were the camels! Well yes, according to a study, every specimen of camel emits methane discharges equal to one ton of carbon dioxide per year, or a quarter of the emissions produced by a car traveling 20 kilometers per year.
But there is more: to eliminate the problem we try to solve it at the root, directly exterminating the camels and it seems that the decision was taken with the approval of the environmentalists.
"It is one of those problems that no one notices because no one sees it" - he said Tim Moore, director of Northwest Carbon, the organization that pitched the idea of killing camels to cut emissions.
The news, unexpected and striking, quickly traveled around the world and ended up straight on pages of the Financial Times, which often deals with problems related to the greenhouse effect.
But that's not all, because the idea of eliminating the presence of camels has been in the minds of many for some time, because - in addition to polluting - these animals threaten the aboriginal peoples and heavily destroy the plantations, so much so that extermination (which would take place by "sharpshooters specialized in animal welfare") is currently one of the priorities of the Australian government.
Is it possible that killing animals is a progressive and reasonable action? It is as if - in order not to pollute - we closed all the companies and exterminated the populations, right?
