Environmental Industrial Complex -<p>> Methane is 84 times more powerful in trapping heat than carbon dioxide<p>You should be scared.<p>Reality, the atmospheric residence time of methane is approximately 9 years<p>If however a carbon sink might leak in fifty or even one hundred years, it can't work, don't bother trying<p>You should be scared.<p>If methane scares you, do something useful and work on lab grown meat, so the rest of us can get our farms back to nature, not have to worry about killing living creatures, get cheap burgers, not have to listen to vegans, increase jungle carbon sinks and you'll get less methane.
