Industrial Waste From Ants Emits Potent Greenhouse Gas

New research shows that garbage piles produced by leaf-cutter ants emit significant amounts of nitrous oxidea potent greenhouse gas.
Chemical reactions within the organic waste piles produced by leaf-cutter ants create copious amounts of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, according to new research published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. These industrious insects arent contributing to global warming on the scale of human activities, but their behaviors are fundamentally altering the composition and function of tropical forestsincluding the way nutrients are transported and recycled.

Do you think they should be forced to sign the Paris Accords?

If the government were to raise the price of leaves, they’ll be forced to cut less.

“manipulation”
Yup, the most concerning part of it in fact.
Part of the horror of the EPA is applying industrial standards to ordinary citizens such as claiming jurisdiction over that puddle in your 1/4 acre lot.
This is in that vein. Prepping the public to accept that any activity of your own doing, no matter how small is “industrial” i.e., a product of your own industry.
Hence the EPA has the right to crawl up your butt with a microscope.

All part of the balance of nature. Somewhere some plant or animal is making good use of the nitrous oxide.
