A team of engineers and atmospheric scientists at Harvard University, working with a colleague from the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has calculated the increased amount of methane being expelled into the atmosphere due to increases in rice farming in parts of Africa.
In their paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the group describes how they recalculated methane emissions due to recent increases in rice production in sub-Saharan Africa, and what they found by doing so.
Prior research has shown that methane is the second most important greenhouse gas (behind carbon dioxide)—it has been found to have more radiative properties (it holds in heat better) than CO2, which means that even though far less of it is emitted into the atmosphere, it still plays a major role in global warming.

Now that I’m in my 70’s, I’m producing rising amounts of methane myself.
My doctor said it’s called fart walking.
But...but....I thought it was meat that caused Climate Change.
I’m in my mid 70’s now and ever since they ran a camera up my ass about 3 years ago I don’t dare fart unless I’m sitting on the pot!
(goddamn proctologists)
lol i missed that i guess- was workign at the time and didn’t watch much tv- but sounds very much like what the lunatics would propose=-
Keep the good work up. You might single-uh...gastrically cause global warming, and New Yorkers will be able to grow mangos and pineapples in their back yards. Stupid people will have work building dykes. Fishing will be replenished. Polar bears will get to wear Hawaiian shirts and shades, and chill.
