***Cow emissions are even worse.***

But the same amount of Bison emissions is A-OK!

"A new study of methane emissions finds that the U.S. is spewing 50 percent more methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere than the Environmental Protection Agency previously assumed." ..."

“According to the new research, livestock’s noxious flatulence accounts for a large portion of the methane gas being released into the atmosphere.

Researchers say cows are producing twice as much methane gas as scientists previously believed.

The states producing the most methane gas were Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas”

Termites are a significant natural source of methane. During the normal digestion process of a termite, methane is produced. Termites eat cellulose but rely on micro-organisms in their gut to digest it which produces methane during the process. This is responsible for 12% of natural methane emissions.[1]

Each termite produces very small amounts of methane on a daily basis. However, when this is multiplied by the world population of termites, their emissions add up to 23 million tonnes of methane annually.[1]”
