Methane from livestock not the problem!

November 26, 2010 By Robin Grieve

Enteric methane produced (tonnes)

1990       1,039857

1998       1,069750

1999       1,102670

2000       1,127900

2001       1,101238

2002       1,123076

2003       1,123438

2007       1,111647

2008       1,078928

Enteric methane produced in 2008 was less than that produced in 2000 and virtually the same as in 1998.

Methane oxidises to CO2 in 8-12 years so we can all sleep soundly in our beds knowing that all the enteric methane produced today is only replacing the methane that was produced ten years ago. The atmospheric concentration of methane will not have altered at all.

So indisputably, no global warming from enteric methane!

Unfortunately there are still some plonkers out there who think enteric methane is a problem. One can only wonder with incredulity.

If all the fossil fuel emissions of CO2 were tracking as those from enteric methane are, there would be no global warming industry at all, because there would be no problem.

If you think any of your friends would appreciate this information and could spare $50 to become a member, send them this email and encourage them to help us out a little bit. Try your neighbours first, none of them are members. Then your friends, they are not members either etc etc. We need them all if we are going to make any difference.
