What is the biggest contributor to global warming?

Question

Is it: a.) Cow farts
b.) Car emissions
c.) Aeroplane emissions

Answer to follow

As much as people seem to think that Global Warming is fictional I have yet to see an argument that it doesn't. All the evidence suggests it does, the rise in average global temperature, the fact that radiation from the sun is being reflected within the atmosphere. For the sake of this question I am assuming, along with the vast majority of scientists, that global warming does, at very least, exist.

BTW i already know the answer, this is just a quiz to find out how many people actually know the answer.

Volcanoes? Volcanoes aren't constantly bl**dy erupting are they? They are nowhere near the biggest contributer to global warming. They mostly give out sulphur dioxide which is then mostly removed from the atmosphere as sulphuric acid in the rain, as it is much more soluble than carbon dioxide. So don't give me any volcanoe cr*p.

Actually cow farts do contribute. They're virtually entirely methane, which is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a contributer to global warming.

And the answer was... actually A.) Cow farts. Cows spend about 8hrs a day farting, which releases methane that, as I said before, is twenty times worse in terms of its effects on global warming than CO2 and other gases from car emissions and aeroplane trails. Only one person got it!

Here is an interesting thought for you. I read an article some time ago about global temperatures in the past.

The narrowed it down to one city and said the following: (example)

Chicago 1834 on July 21 75 degrees F
Chicago 1836 same day 57F
Chicago 1928 same day 92F
Chicago 1992 same day 59F
Chicago 2006 same day 75F

The point the article showed was that the temperature on any day is sparatic. It changes so much or not that much at all often.

Global warming is going on but not at the pace people think it is. It is happening much slower then speculated by the mass population.

Answer 3

C. the vapor trails from jet engines of aircraft. Cow farts while pleasant to smell the aroma do not contribute at all and car emissions rank second emitting large amounts of carbon monoxide and the smoke stacks unchecked add to the pollutants and to global warming also. The real question is : If we know this why haven't we stopped the usage to reverse the effects and what do they know that we do not as recourse or are they intentionally going to destroy our planet without contest or opposition? What is the real lie? What are we not being told? Is there a fix or do we let our planet and civilization die?

Answer 4

The green house gases are CO2, hydrocarbons like methane and possibly some oxides of nitrogen which do not allow the infra-red radiation from earth to pass away to space. They cause reflection of the heat rays back to the earth, thus building up the temp here.

Answer 5

Airplane emissions are worse at night, I don't know how bad they are during the day... but I highly doubt a cow farting causes much trouble at all.

Answer 6

in person-friendly words those stupid adequate to trust typhoon intensity is someway linked to the pretend idea of agw would want for something like that. somewhat sensible human beings, like myself, do not forget that extra severe hurricanes are forming on different planets too. apparently Mars has a typhoon the dimensions of america of a. that is new. completely unrelated to the minute quantity of co2 released by utilizing guy.

Answer 7

60% of the carbon in the atmosphere comes from burning coal.

Answer 8

Humans in cars eating cheeseburgers on the way to the airport.

Answer 9

This is the assumption that global warming exists.

Answer 10

the biggest contribution to global warming is cfc chloroflorocarbons.

Answer 11

Volcans put more crap in to the atmousphear then humans ever have so get your facts strights. volcans are the major cause, humans are second
