…maybe I could rephrase the question?
Here in the UK there’ll soon be more old than young people and I suspect that the situation is similar in most other developed countries - MORE METHANE !
AIDS and other serious diseases it would seem are having a pretty effective stab at curtailing population explosions in undeveloped ones but in china the indigenous population is still only allowed one child per family (God help you if your gender is female) aren’t they ? However, now, some chinese cities are in an almost permanent state of SMOG and the nation is set to be the next Superpower - which will probably mean alot more babies - MORE METHANE STILL?
Now I hear that the huge Russian Arctic Tundra plains are in danger of melting - GINORMOUS AMOUNTS OF METHANE !!!
My question is this - shouldn’t we stop flogging a dead horse so to speak - and help Mr.Branson with his commerical spaceship development and be doing heaps of research on terra-forming and working out how best to colonise the those under planets in the Solar System?
This isn’t a CFC situation - like with the Ozone hole which I believe is almost gone now - this is something we can’t put right isn’t it - because like all of nature animal and vegetation - we have no choice - we have to BURP AND BREAK WIND ???????

There are many more detriments to the atmosphere that do not help the global warming situation than flatulence and smoking. I say if you keep on excreting extreme amounts of methane and filling your body with smoke, global warming is the least of your issues.

That can’t help.

i agree with andy (i actually laughed so hard i nearly fell off my swiss ball) if you are releasing such high levels of methane and ciggarette smoke that you think its affecting the environment, global warming is the least of your problems…. methane is a poisoness gas, there was one guy in belgium about 12 years back who literally gassed himself…. moral of the story, keep at least one window open…. i would be more worried about that if i were you LOL

I can’t believe that people actually believe this s***, or that I’m actually responding to it. If there was enough methane to make a substantial difference in our global temperature, the whole planet would smell like a beer ****. ******* and smoking is as dangerous to our atmosphere as jerking off on the toilet. To be fair, maybe a great amount of methane could theoretically pose a minor threat, but if you really want to bring the global temperature down, don’t ever buy anything again or drive your car. The factories that produce our products, and the cars we drive. Those are the biggest culprits. F*** the finger-pulling and cancer-stick *******.

I think that I recall farmers in New Zealand are charged a tax because of the excessive sheep population’s flatulence, but if there were a million times that amount of sheep in the world, it wouldn’t be a **** in a tornado in the overall scheme of earth warming…
Get some valid stats to see if there’s any measure of truth in worrying about someones’ pet idea–then I might believe it.

a unique way of thinking about it you need to get in touch with al gore and maybe you both can talk the subject to death??he would love to hear from you
