#2 Aspetsberger added that no quantitative data were available, but that it could be "seriously detrimental" to the climate if nitrate pollution continues to rise the way it has over recent years.

Hmmmmmmmmm...since no "quantitative data" appears to be available on laughing gas farting shellfish looks like you'll need more money to study laughing gas farting shellfish, eh, Fanni? Looks like you've found your niche in the grant gravy train.
And these people wonder why folks doubt them?

#5 "German researchers said Tuesday that mussels, freshwater snails and other underwater creatures are also culprits, releasing laughing gas."
