    No! Don't light it!

    Combusting methane with oxygen forms CO2 and H20, which are far less potent greenhouse gasses than methane.

    Nghoy.

    They had to change global warming to climate change:pac:
    I don't think they know enough about the history of the planets climate yet.
    But eh releasing more Co2 into the atmosphere is not good.

    I'd still rather have C02 than methane.

    Did anyone even bother to read the entire article.. or even actually look at it at all?
    "It's an interesting philosophical discussion - 'would we better off in a warm [interglacial-type] world rather than a glaciation?' and probably we would," he said.
    "But it's missing the point, because where we're going is not maintaining our currently warm climate but heating it much further, and adding CO2 to a warm climate is very different from adding it to a cold climate.
    "The rate of change with CO2 is basically unprecedented, and there are huge consequences if we can't cope with that."

    Funnily enough, despite all this talk of rising C02 and ever increasing temperatures, Global Sea Ice is refusing to disappear. In fact today global sea ice is above the 1979-2011 average. Small decrease in the arctic is being made up for by an increase in the antarctic. Them Polar Bears must be mighty relieved.

    An Ice Age would destroy most of Northern Europe and North America.

    Destroy us economically and we would also probably be refugees living in Southern Europe or Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Wouldn't do much good with Arctic conditions and a glacier where your house is.

    co2 might not have that big an impact on global temps but methane does.

    It doesn't matter what the weather does, as long as we have the gulf stream all that will happen here is rain and more rain.

    Who cares, we'll all be dead anyway by the time something significant happens.

    I say drives those 4 litre jeeps, burn that bonfire in your back garden and fart as much as possible.

    here's a link : http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/cow-emissions-more-damaging-to-planet-than-cosub2sub-from-cars-427843.html

    it says that cow farts cause more emissions that our car exhausts.
    Perhaps the EU should create a Cow Tax ?

    Since this means the EU wants to either reduce our emissions or fine us does this mean we'll need to slaughter half our cow stocks ?
