How much do we fart? Does it have the greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

Cows are worse. They, grouped with other livestock are the largest contributers (about 18%) to the greenhouse effect and global warming from their methane emissions. Transport exhaust as a whole, including all cars, trains, ships, aircraft, etc in the whoe world represents only 13.5%. This comes from a report published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Nov. 2006.

Answer 2

No. It's a fallacy that humans produce significant amounts of greenhouse gasses in our digestive process. The human gut works very differently from that of cows( which do produce quite a lot of methane) and most human fart-gas is simply air swallowed in the course of eating, sweetly scented with various sulphurous by-products of protein metabolism. Fart on babe! Save the planet by not voting for an ******** like Dubya next time round!

Answer 3

I don't know the answer to your question, but I thought I would share a fact I learned recently which i have been passing around.

Cows' farts contribute to greenhouse gases - would you believe that one innocent wee cow produces 400 litres of methane in only one day!!!!

Think there has been some research into ways of harnessing animal's methane production as a power source.

Better work it out soon, before the cows succeed in their masterplan to get rid of us all by wind power.

Answer 4

we don't pass nearly enough methane to cause greenhouse warming. There are some scientists out there that feel the dinosaurs could have produced enough "farts" to seriously affect their atmosphere. Although most experst believe this is untrue the theorys are out there. Try searching on google.

Answer 5

A lot. All dry though. I eat oatmeal everyday and I think that's the reason for my flatulence. Not sure about greenhouse effect though.

Answer 6

Yes methane that is the gas when you fart is part of the green house effect gases

Answer 7

Hi, i am 537 and I have never farted in my LIFE

Answer 8

a lot and yes it does
