  1. Farting has methane, yes, but it's already factored into the atmospheric load to expect a certain amount. Think of a buffered system such as your body. You can expect a certain amount of a chemical and it won't hurt you because your body can absorb it and use it. Over a certain amount and it can cause problems.

    Same thing with methane from farts. Sure, it releases methane, and methane does cause warming. But the atmosphere needs SOME methane to keep us all warm and cozy down here. It won't produce enough emissions to actually push us over the threshold, though. You need massive industrial-strength emissions of methane to do long-term damage.


  2. maybe.

  3. Actually, yes farting produces carbon monoxide, which is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect...

  4. global warming

    Looks like you have you eyes open. Can’t say that about to many people in society today. Most of us walk around with blinders until a catastrophe hits, then we wake up pretty quick. Unfortunately we go blind again a few months later…

    Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

    We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

    Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

    One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

    Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

    Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

    1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

    2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

    It’s pretty easy to see the results..

    Melting ice sheets & glaciers

    Floods & droughts

    Great hurricanes & cyclones

    Seasonal extremes

    Seasonal phenomena’s

    Species extinction

    New & resurgent diseases

    There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

    I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

    If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  5. believe it or not, it does. so i would cut down on those busch's baked beans. i know there good, but your killing us all. literally

  6. if you're a cow,yes...

  7. i don't think so...

  8. Global warming/cooling is cyclic and has been going on for 4 billion years.

  9. Only if your lighting them!

  10. nope

  11. h**l yeah! Excuse my horrible language. Hello I am Marty Jean Baker (elaney) you might've seen me on American Idol with Miley Cyruss. If not Life of Llama Organizations wants you to help promote our new Campaign "LLAMAS GO GREEN YOU SHOULD TOO" to become a part of this please email me at dawlfacex3@yahoo.com. it's alll free and no personal info reqiured. We are all in this for the llamas and that's what we do here at life of llama organzations! So please come and be apart of our new campaign and lllo. "LLAMAS GO GREEN YOU SHOULD TOO" Is strictly about global warming and llamas. The first 82 members to sign up will recieve a free trip to Peru and walk with the llamas to promote "LLAMAS GO GREEN YOU SHOULD TOO" with Miley Cyruss. -Marty Jean B. Buffy Ling

  12. It does contain methane, but not much.

  13. dude, you're off the chain for saying something like that!!
