Your gas is natural, and easily handled by the "carbon cycle". Emissions from fossil fuel burning aren't.
There are a great many natural sources and sinks for carbon dioxide. But the present global warming is (mostly) the result of man made CO2 from burning fossil fuels.
There is a natural "carbon cycle" that recycles CO2. But it's a delicate balance and we're messing it up.
Look at this graph.

The little squiggles are nature doing its' thing. CO2 falls a bit during summer when plants are active, and rises during the winter. The huge increase is us, burning fossil fuels (in addition to the shape of the graph, the increase numerically matches the increase in fossil fuel use). The scientists can actually show that the increased CO2 in the air comes from burning fossil fuels by using "isotopic ratios" to identify that CO2. The natural carbon cycle buried carbon in fossil fuels over a very long time, little bit by little bit. We dig them up and burn them, real fast. That's a problem.
Man is upsetting the balance of nature by burning fossil fuels. We need to fix that.
But feel free to fart away.

no i don't think your gas is the cause because it is everybody that's is contributing we are making global warming worse than ever. if we keep on emitting carbon dioxide emissions, we will pollute more and more. we need to use more fuel efficient energy and use public transportation

No. But interestingly enough, cows farts are quite a major contributor to rising CO2 levels! If you want to help change that... try eating one less serve of red meat per week! :)

Don't worry. No matter how windy you feel, your methane is infintesimal compared to all those cows in Wiisconsin.
