'Livestock produces 51% of world's greenhouse gases'

Bill, maybe you had better check the formulae in your Excel spreadsheet.

Termites are ahead of domestic livestock as the leading producers of greenhouse gas.

"termites were blamed for at least part of the increase, with estimates ranging from less than 5 per cent to more than 40 per cent of the total annual global methane production."

" The release of methane into the atmosphere by cattle and other large grazing mammals is estimated to account for 12 to 17% of the total global methane release."

Methane accounts for about the grand total of 0.36% of all greenhouse gases. Gates is a good thief and a good marketing guy. Not so hefty on the intellect evidently.

We do have to stop the media and pseudoscientists defining for us what is a “greenhouse gas”. The only such gas that has an effect on the “climate” is water. (Good ol’ DHMO.)
