Methane gas contributes to global warming. Your emissions are probably not enough to matter, but cattle flatulate in large amounts and frequently. Methane gas is collected in some garbage dumps. They are covered and pipes are sunk into them to collect the gas. It can then be burned as a source of energy. If you can figure out how to harness cow farts, you might save the world!

I believe that human farts contain about 80% sulphur dioxide(SO2), which is the flammable and smelly part of your gaseous expulsion. From memory SO2 has a lower explosive limit of about 4%. This makes them highly volatile. So light up your farts and reduce greenhouse gasses.
