It says on this BBC web page that methane is a greenhouse gas, produced in rice paddy fields. Well I didn't know that, did you?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/sci_nat/04/climate_change/html/greenhouse.stm

So as a liberal I have a problem. Do I eat more rice to help third world farmers but increase global warming, or do I stop eating rice to save the planet?

Or do I continue to reject all this climate change theorising and carry on as before?:D

Hmm, decisions...

Our bovine friends produce more methane than anything else.! :D

Won't stop me eating beef and wearing leather though.

I would promote a balanced diet. Make sure you eat beef from a different region to your rice. This will stop the build up being in juts one area :D

Do that, i will be.

I belive that we have just speed up the earths natural cycle of heating and cooling, not drastically changed the climate forever.

Methane - a greenhouse gas way more potent than CO2. Just beginning to be recognised as such. Where does it come from? Decaying organic matter, by anerobic decomposition.
