    Default New research finds methane emissions have huge impact on global warming

    Methane emissions caused by human activity may have a bigger impact on global warming than previously thought, scientists have found.


    Research led by the University of Reading indicates that emissions of methane due to human activity have, to date, caused a warming effect which is about one-third of the warming effect due to carbon dioxide emissions – this methane contribution is 25% higher than previous estimates.

    Now, which do you think has more 'SHIT' in it? (Pun intended). NATURAL FLATULENCE from humans farting or METHANE GAS EMISSIONS from energy or even livestock processing?

    (If you think there is equivalency, damn, I'm sure glad I don't live in your house).

    This doesn't surprise me.

    Incidentally, Something's up. We get 1 larger bill 1 to 2 months from using 'heat' for our part of FLORIDA. Sometimes JAN is the coolest, something FEB. Heretofore we got some winter. We had none last year. It's February 23 and we turned the AC on on WED. I pretty damn sure in the 25 years since I built the house, that is a FIRST.

    A far superior source that a deeply slanted, biased and bogus report from pasture farming advocates.

    While previous studies have focused on the role of methane in greenhouse trapping of the infrared energy emitted by the Earth and its atmosphere, this new study also took into account the way methane absorbs energy from the sun, at shorter wavelengths. It shows that much of the extra absorption is in the lower part of the atmosphere, where it has a warming effect.

    "Clouds play a particularly important role in causing this enhanced warming effect," said Professor Ellie Highwood, University of Reading, one of the co-authors of the study.

    And why do clouds have this effect ?

    Ill give you a hint: theyre made of water and water is the only greenhouse gas capable of changing state in free atmosphere.
