#4 I think they ment some other gas. Nitrous Oxide is not easy to make. It takes high pressure and high heat. Usually. Teddy Kennedy might be able to make some. I really think the writer ment methane. That's easy and what large farm animals fart the most of. Not CO2. The animal poop can be gathered and enough methane extracted to be monetarily worthwhile. The largest creator of VOC's (volitile organic chemicals)in the office is Human bioefluent emissions. In other words, burps and farts. Why do farts burn? Methane. Same is true of animals. They do create CO2 through the process of respiration but they create much more methane whic is a much more efficient greenhouse gas than CO2. Bugwits.

#5 What this report doesn't make clear is that livestock generates these greenhouse gas equivalents as a digestive bi-product. ie, by farting. This means that a proportion of the air we breathe comes out of some cow, sheep, pig or dogs arse.

It makes you wonder how adherants to some religions, who revile pigs and dogs as unclean, can retain their self respect when confronted by this scientific insight.
