WOW! BUT! sadly though, sigh, we must be vigilant with some beauties .. methane? .. yeah, some say cattle farts
are more important in the big picture than CO2 .. they say CO2 is GOOD FOR YOU! .. ho hum, again/however
(for THEM) though cattle farts do contribute most of methane and it is more potent than CO2, don't (you
still doubters out there) believe that makes methane more important than CO2 in the whole scheme
of things .. guess what, it isn't ..

What is methane's contribution to global warming?

The skeptic argument...

It's methane

"A United Nations report has identified the world's rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests and wildlife. ...

...Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.

Burning fuel to produce fertiliser to grow feed, to produce meat and to transport it - and clearing vegetation for grazing - produces 9 per cent of all emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas. And their wind and manure emit more than one third of emissions of another, methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide." (Geoffrey Lean)

What the science says...
While methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, there is over 200 times more CO2 in the atmosphere. Hence the amount of warming methane contributes is 28% of the warming CO2 contributes.

wowing us from above, the more we should be taking action to combat global warming, or if you'd rather, climate change .. it's a bit like the beautiful girl/guy thing who turns out to be um, hum, ho him!/oh her!, sucking parasite, abhorrent bore, even deadly .. chuckle .. we know some beauty can be a deceiving thing .. the book and the cover to drone on .. there will be those who question the methane beware NLC people the 'cattle farters' we could call those who say would sat Never Look Closely in this way at any NLC ..

how great is that again! .. yep, really all the scientists in best practice of the best
science we have are working as canaries in a coalmine .. heh, will give these a go, too ..

LOL .. continued in reply ..
